Hot and sunny! River clear, a beautiful stretch and a pleasure to fish. One trout to a nymph. Little surface activity or flies emerging.

First time fishing a river like this having recently returned to the sport, 2 small trout lost, loads of fish around, lack of fish caught a reflection on my skill on a river rather than on this lovely stretch which seemed to be full of life.

An amazing day on a big and beautiful beat. A long beat with lots of varied water. Some very still and shallow bits that would be great for dry fly if you could cast a long way. Fished a team of wets. Caught 4 BT on the GRHE (between 8oz and 1lb) mostly from the faster runs down deep. Some march Browns coming off and had two takes on the top spider just as it hit the water. One landed about 1.5 lbs, one played for a few minutes before coming off just as I put the net in the water. The lost fish was much bigger. Saw a few huge trout as I stumbled over stones and made my way upstream.
All fish WBT and returned. Will definitely fish this part of the Usk again. Great day.

Nil return, not one salmon seen over the two days.

No fish caught, very nice day though.

Really lovely afternoon of fishing...two small trout ( half pounders ) taken both on a gold nymph and both returned in good shape.

My bro and I only caught 1 fish each but this is our lack of river skills and nothing to do with the beat.
It's a very pretty beat in a lovely setting, plenty of fish rising, March browns and others coming off, mainly nyphing but also tried dries, we need to get some lessons in river craft.

Beautiful day with glorious sunshine but nothing was moving.

A very challenging days fishing, bright sunshine....
a nice hatch of March browns with a few LDO and brook duns thrown in. Biggest fish touching 15 inches. Mostly caught on dries.

A great day on a great beat. Nothing rising to a cdc olive so switched to the duo and caught some on the nymph.
The best places seem to be where it opens out about half way and the falls.
