Nil caught.

Got here late afternoon. Fished only 40 minutes in all. Missed a nice trout at the Rocks. Caught a parr in fast water at Wood Stream on hut side. Small nymphs, down and across. Grannom hatching aplenty.

Three Brown Trout, largest about 10 inches, one Chub, all fish returned. All taken on Silver Corixa. Monnow in lovely condition, plenty of fish rising, although the majority small fish, no Grayling.

Struggled in low clear water conditions. Fished for trout only as far too low for Salmon. Landed and returned four small trout between us fishing sub surface with nymphs and grannom pattern. Good hatch of sizeable grannom 1-3pm but little else. Cloudy 13deg 0.48m.

18 x trout, mainly on dry fly but a number on spiders. Mostly stock fish from 13-15 inches, plus a few smaller wild ones. There was a slow large dark olive hatch from early morning, but I was surprised to see a short and intense grannom hatch around midday. This last seems very, very early in the year, but I received a call yesterday that they had also been seen on the Usk Town Water. Perhaps the very warm days and low water have brought the grannom forwards.

No fish caught but a lovely promising beat.

One 10" grayling to a ptn. One trout about 11" to a klinkhammer. Also a couple of missed chances on the klink. A misty overcast day with little sign of insect life and not many rises. Hoping for the sun to break through, but it never did. River fairly clear and at summer level, so relatively easy wading.

3 x Trout @ 4". 2 x Trout @ 6"+. On elkhair and beaded hares Caddis #6 Ear Nymph #14.

0 trout caught.

Lovely spot, cool day, water like gin, not one fish seen or caught, the water is obviously clean enough judging by dippers and the hatches etc, but lack of fish activity worrying.
