All fish caught in tails of pools. Best one 17”. Idyllic day on lovely beat. Two points for other passporters. Even by the standards of the Usk there is very little shade - which is worth remembering for the summer - and the llanover syndicate has the other bank so you may not be fishing virgin water.

Absolutely stunning beat, water level was average and the weather was perfect. Still hard going with minimal rises although sporadic March Brown and Olive hatches. Hooked one large slow-rising fish but frustratingly lost at the net. Third trip to to the Usk and still nothing landed!

Apologies for the late return - I did log one before but it seems there was some bug and it did not enter the system. It fished very well, some small mayfly hatching for a couple of hours in the early afternoon - I think iron blues? Caught nine, all on small, dry mayfly patterns - Iron Blue and Grey Duster and nearly all in this hatch period. Good sizes as usual for the Usk - they ranged between 12 and 17".

Couple of hours this evening for a recce and see what the river is doing. Nice hatch at around 6pm. One rise. Our trouty friends are waking up slowly. Very slippy under foot.

Another fun session on a local beat . Warmer today with not that annoying easterly wind .... Just nice, and the fish responded well too !!!
I think the air temp got up to 17 ish .... very pleasant indeed . A really nice mooch upstream, on the top section, just sublime, with fish looking up from half twelve. Plenty of olives on the go today, cracking stuff !!!!
Seven wee chaps, between seven and eleven inches, just super fun on the dries .....
Tis noticeably lower here than a few days ago, and, that slimy algae starting to form on rocks.....All of them!! Might be worth sending one of the WUF HABITAT TEAM up there, do some water testing etc etc.... It certainly doesn't look particularly healthy in fairness!!! Two goosanders seen ... bloody things , and right where i wanted to place a dry too !!!!!
I saw two on the town stretch of the Wye early bells the other morning !!! These birds are forever on the increase, like comorants !!! Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
Anyway still some really fun sport, back home, water the garden, top the pond up, and a nice cold bottle of Thatchers cider ..... Happy Days !!!!!
