Had a great day with the guiding help from L D from Swansea(capturedonline.co.uk) fished from 10am till 4pm. There were a few fish rising we got there, managed one to the net a missed two on dries.
Then went onto a wet fly set up which accounted for the other four trout .Insects started to appear mid afternoon went back onto dry flies, no luck left around 4pm as had got quite cold by then

Beautiful stretch of water

One trout caught and lost two nymphing, no fish rising.

2 brown trout, about 8 and 10" on LDO dries. Both came during a hatch in the early afternoon that lasted about 90 minutes, it was absolutely dead the rest of the day with not a sniff on a wide variety of flies, but during that hatch the trout suddenly switched on. These Usk trout are so moody! Would have caught several more during the hatch I think if not for a very strong downstream wind - no escape from that on this beat and casting upstream into the teeth of it was very difficult even with a #5/6, even impossible during some gusts. At least the downpours are over though! Lost one other decent fish of about 16" that was hooked near a tree, he got under and transferred the hook before I could turn him. It's a beautiful beat with a lot of nice birdlife - large colony of sand martins back in one bank, lovely to see them zipping over the river again. Sandpipers and willow warblers have also returned.
