Arrived at river at 16:00. Bright and sunny with a brisk downstream breeze. River on its bones. Fished the faster runs with a PTN to pass the time to the evening rise. Nothing moving before I had to leave at 21:15. Suspect I needed to stay another hour or so!

Fly only. All trout returned. Water level very low. At the 'Sewage pool' I tested for bugs etc and it was very poor. Lots of slime covering rocks. The trout caught looked very healthy and ranged from approx .5lb to 1.5 lb. Water temp approx. 15 degrees.

We tried pretty much everything very little moving on the surface, and not luck with nymph or droppers. Very unusual but still adequate water in the river.
Fishing passport is the best thing since sliced bread. So easy to use and great water

All fish caught on variety of medium weight beaded nymphs in deep pockets of faster water. Hooked around 9 fish but only got 5 to the net. Released in good condition. Fish rising to prolific hatch as I was leaving at about 8.45 pm.

Tough but enjoyable day, fished various nymphs through all the deep runs off fast water, all the little nooks and crannies along the bank, but no joy, not a single rise seen all day, access to some of the pools difficult as banks are high, but wading relatively easy as no real flow.

Very bright hot day, low water. Very few fish showing on the surface. Hatches also rather limited.

Great to be fishing this beat again. Fished for most of the day and into the evening about 11am to 7pm but with a decent break for much needed refreshment in Brecon! Mostly fished nymphs, down and across or New Zealand style especially on the bottom section. Tried a few dry flies as well.

2 WBT taken on weighted nymphs New Zealand style. A couple of others missed or lost as well. A good enough day and just lovely to be out fishing with a view of the mountains.

No fishing. After 20 mm rain the Honddu stream went very murky en after mixing whole Usk at Dinas was as murky with less than 10 inch visibility.
We’d like to change our permits for another upstream beat iUsk is still clear on monday.
