Shared between nymphs, spiders and LDOs..

Beat was clean, easily accessible and in great shape.

Fished from late afternoon into the evening the sport was tremendous plenty of fish moving and a constant trickle of fly on the water all fish came to dry olive patterns only one smalley caught everything else was good size with two fish pushing two pounds .

Started at 6pm, explored the bottom by the bridge for the first time and a few started rising from 7pm, refused dun, but took jingler when covered properly. Moved up, and on way up saw a salmon jump in the bottom pool by the wood. Found a major bit of spinner mopping going on in the long glide. 11 fish brough to hand in an hr, with several others lost. Relly nice mix of sizes from 8oz to 2lb. 4 where over a lb, 7 under. Saw a really big one (5lb+ jump) and half an hr later it started rising. It's back was enourmous, but I was 18" short when I tried to cover it and I caught its wingman which put it down. All the trout were fighting incrediby hard in the fresh water after the small rise. 8oz fish fought like pounders, the 2lber took me 8 mins to land. Massive hatch of caenis, blowing like snow into my face, but thankfully the fish were locked onto spinners from teh morning hatch and munched the #16 sparsely tied jingler when you got the drift right. It was still going on when I pulled out at 9.30pm.

Cloudy, windy and quite cold but a late hatch delivered some good sport. All fish returned

River in perfect condition - 8" on the Brecon gauge. Considered cancelling my trip as the weather in Cardiff was appalling and the forecast for the Beacons was little better. Could not see the Storey Arms, let alone Pen y Fan, on the drive up. The Usk valley seemed to be protected from the weather; an occasional squall but otherwise OK. A few olives and the occasional mayfly coming off all day with some fish rising on both the flats and in Llanobery Pool. A number of takes on a dry olive CDC but only one fish to the net.

What a glorious little section of the Usk! Started at midday and spent 7 hours fishing for some stunning browns! 3 were close to 2lbs! Majority taken on small drys today with just two on the nymph. Fish were up and down in the water due to the wind, cloud cover and few showers but when they came up for a hatch it was bites galore! I missed more than i hooked but had s great day regardless. Will 100% be back for another day out!

Lovely conditons and decent hatches of Mayfly, sedge and small light coloured upwinged insects. Rising fish in the top and bottom streamy sections morning and evening evening. Missed a couple of fish at the bottom section early on and another in the top section early evening. Returned to the bottom section at last knocking. Missed another riser and finally hooked and landed a nice fish of about a 1lb. Hallelujah! Returned the fish. Caught on a barbless Jingler.
