A good day with 10 x WBT to 14", all returned. Plenty more missed - could easily have doubled my tally. Several fish taken on red midge pattern fished deep in the morning. Others came up to small F-fly and Olive patterns later on.

The weather was great and the fishing good. Caught some nice browns between the both of us. 12 fish were caught in total on both nymphs and dries.

A lovely day's fishing although we had to leave relatively early (2.30pm) to get back to London. There were fish rising on the flats 100 or so yards up from the bridge. Caught 3 trout (to about 1lb) on Olive imitations. There were Grannom, the odd Large Dark Olive, many smaller Olives and the occasional Yellow May Dun, all on the water at various times and the water level and clarity were both excellent. Great fun.

Brilliant sunny afternoon spent in the magnificent landscape of Glan yr Afon. Unfortunately no fish this time.

No salmon caught or seen altough i did connect with what looked like a sewin of about 3+lbs spinning at the far end of the beat.

High water level, difficult wading, but fishable. No salmon cought but couple of pretty brown trouts, all returned. Amazing stretch. Thanks to WUF.

A very pleasant day on this very pretty stretch of the Usk, wading was not the easiest though.
3x brown trout caught, 1 taken approx 1.5 lb(plus a number of juvenile fish when nymphing),
2 caught on a bug imitation after a sharp downpour close to the bank, 1 caught on a blue winged olive during a hatch, wasn't sure what the hatch was and the BWO WAS THE NEAREST I COULD MATCH!
A wonderful experience all made possible by the foundations expert advice and helpful staff, thank you.

6 fish between the two rods. All taken on the flats. Beautiful conditions with lots of water and only a little colour. Most fish below a pound but one cracking fish of just under 2 pounds from middle flats. Great day on a stunning beat.

Approximately 15 brown trout varying in weight from 1lb to 1.5lb.

Following on from my fishing the previous night on Dan-y-Warren, I ended my short, but superb, stay, in Crickhowell (the Old Rectory in Llangattock, great place to stay!) with a few hours at Glan-yr-Afon. This must be one of the most picturesque, idyllic places to cast a line. Tricky wading as previous anglers have commented, but worth the effort. I've always found this part of the Usk a real challenge, but this time it was fantastic. 5 trout hooked, 4 banked (all put back in great condition, barely lifted out of the water), all on nymph through deeper, slower runs. Tried the dry fly for a while, but river was running fast and hard to control the fly line. Thanks WUF for providing such a beautiful beat. Heron there as always. There is nothing better than catching a wild brown trout on the Usk, followed by a beer in the Bear!
