A bright day with a clear river and an easterly breeze. Thats the excuses done! Little by way of consistent fly life … occasional olives snd March browns and hawthorns. Jim managed to winkle one 9”er out although the sheep were not impressed …. The two he let go with long distance catch and release when the light changed in the evening would gave. Ren much better. We had another James out with us, first time on the Usk, no fish but thoroughly enjoyed the river.

.76 on the gauge sunny and warm fished top of the beat for first time am, most of that water accessible and fishable at current levels and flows, patience & caution rewarded with 3 fish 10 - 12 ins from edw pool and below taken sub surface on weighted hares ear and spiders . Further down the beat hatches of fly life smuts/midges and small sedges blown upriver on the wind midday to late afternoon rising splashy youngsters - great fun fishing drys, couldn’t tempt any of the better fish from their lies. A great day on a great beat - thank you.

The water looked good. Bright sun from the start then the wind got up again no sign of a salmon.

Caught on nymphs and drys and lost a similar number. All good size fish had a couple 15". Several nice runs for nymphing and a few fish rising along the flats. Need to be careful wading there's some deep drops offs.
Was a bit worried about the public footpath but no issues. Was a Thursday during term time though.

Great first time on these beats, fished Beats 3-6 all left bank. Caught the small trout on a nymph fished deep in the hole by the start of Beat 4 and returned. Please to have good directions and advice from Terry the Fishery Manager. Also, much easier wading than upper Wye. Easy access to the river, with wader protection on the barbed wire. Looking forward to returning to complete areas not fished. Great stuff.

bright sunny day with east wind, very few rises fish were not intetrested feeding on very tiny white flies !! no fish caught

One of the warmest days of the year so far. Bright sunshine all day. I only saw one fish rise in a particular shaded stretch of the river. I tried a number of nymphs, then just prior to leaving, around 6pm I tried a pink shrimp which was taken by an out-of-season grayling which I returned to the river as quickly as possible. A lovely river and one to which I’ll definitely return.
