A wonderful days fishing, but with the water so clear and the sun so bright, it was always going to be tough going.

Plenty of trout jumping, and a few bites, but we only managed to get two small browns to the net. One fish was caught early and one late, when the sun was not overhead.

Anglers always like to have something to blame, but in this case i know it was the clear conditions as I kept seeing trout shoot off as I lifted my rod.

The fish taking on the surface were all on the far side of the river, so we used wets or nymphs all day. We mainly fished from the salmon boards, to get to the deeper, darker water, but did a bit of exploring. I lost a decent brown at the bottom of the rapids (had the drag set too tight).

Saw a eel working around the edges of a salmon pool.

We probably only fished about 4 hours (early and late) as it was too warm at lunch time. Should have probably tried the rapids then, but it was as much a holiday as a fishing trip.

A very pleasant way to spend the day and I can't wait to go back.

Just thought it might be worth fishing the small overnight rise. Two small trout to an Usk grub early on, then the colour deteriorated quickly early afternoon. Not sure if it had a slight green tinge to it as well sadly.
No salmon caught or seen.

Brown Trout and Shad for Tomasz G. Pike for Martin and another Shad for Robert. No Salmon had been encountered.
