At 9am it felt more like March than May. Nymphed north of the A40, got 2 fish around pound each on a Caddis nymph.
Nymphed my way back down to the Cynrig without success.
Made a warming brew on my Kelly Kettle and whilst enjoying it saw the odd fish rising. Put on an Olive emerger and got into a seam of rising fish against the left bank. Caught 3, missed 3. All around a pound.
Moved down to the bottom pool by the style, saw a couple of fish rising but in difficult to reach spots, no luck.
Returned to car around 3pm, just about to take my waders off when I saw a fish rising. Caught a 1.5lbs fish on the Olive merger.
All fish were very hard fighting, all returned .

Excellent days fishing on the Usk. 7 Brown Trout caught and released. 3 Dry Fly; 4 Wet Fly.
River conditions ideal after the previous night's rain. Weather overcast but still warm enough to instigate a good hatch in the late afternoon.
Overall a great experience aided by an excellent recommended WUF Guide in Oliver Burch.

Arrival at the river and saw fish rising in the streamy runs. Water clarity was excellent.
5 fish caught on nymphs the remainder on dries, mainly Klinks and Adams and shuttlecock CDC in small sizes.
An excellent days fishing overall.

Monday - the river was up and brown - hardly worth fishing
Tuesday - still coloured and fish all bottom feeding - hardly any rise - 1 x 1 1/4lb trout taken on sunken wet fly.

Some fish moving but difficult to catch. Only caught one wbt on on black and silver nymph.

Two small trout caught and returned. Ambitious as they were on a 12'6" salmon rod on stoats tail. Water low.
I am impressed with the Foundations web setup. It works very well - thank you.

Cold and wet morning but warmer later in the day. Lost one big fish on a sedge and 3 or 4 other smaller trout swirled at the fly without taking. Otherwise nothing on nymphs and Klinks. Little fly life seen. Lovely stretch of water and worth a visit later in the year.

Eleven trout, 10-16 inches, at least the same again on/off long range releases. Down stream wet fly. River coloured in the morning but clean by 1pm. Very little fly life or rising fish. Last fished this water about 30 years ago - the river has changed very little! Discovered the odd boulder mentioned in the beat description but failed to make a detour - had a 'dunk in the drink'- luckily just as I was about to finish for the day. A good Spring day's fishing.

Sunny day but a cool wind. Little fly life due to breeze. All fish caught on grhe and several missed. A good day for this time of year on a lovely beat.
