Short evening session. No salmon caught or seen. However, very good trout fishing between 8.30pm and 10pm. Caught 3 trout on dries and lost several more. A nice stretch of the river here, recommended.

Very nice stretch of the river! Could do with some rain as the river was very low, lots of hatches from about 11:00-15:00 when the sun came out, but not many fish rising to feast on them. I had two small trout on the dry and missed a third

Alas nothing today. Was very bright, and pretty windy so not the best of conditions. Lot's of bugs though - mostly grannom - so thought i was in with a chance. Only saw 2 rises all afternoon though - clumsily covered both, but nada.

Water very churned up, chocolate in colour and current was very strong, obviously due to the recent rain.
Saw nothing rising when I arrived (11:30am) and that was pretty much how it stayed all day, I left just before 7pm. Managed to get two out on a Hares Ear nymph, one with gold bead and one without, I was even more impressed as I had tied the flies myself and was convinced they probably wouldn’t work . 1st was about 8 inches and second about 12. Both were caught early/ mid afternoon.
Sadly not all the best is accessible, the path is no longer there which effectively cuts the best in half. I have emailed the office about this and hopefully it can be rectified for next season
Would definitely fish the beat again but once the whole beat is accessible

Nice day. Very quiet. Difficult to find path to reach to the downstream limit
So could not fish there

River very clear , medium height. Temperature - max 17 degrees C, with cooling wind from the north. Occassionally gusty.
Fished 11am - 3.30pm. A few sporadic rises but nothing significant. Two WBT (2x10oz) caught and returned - GRHE.
Lovely beat.

One superb condition Salmon (8-10lb) seen in Salmon Pool around 3pm.

Very helpful service from Passport office when I was unable to find padlock code on the instructions. (It's on the map, not on the written directions - silly me!)

River was looking good. 0.46 on the Usk guage and rising slowly but still pretty clear. Had a really good tug in the salmon pool and moved a coloured fish lower down under the trees towards the corner pool. Nice bit of water for few hours fishing.

Very little life to see.
