7 - 8 fish including a couple of salmon parr and a 1.5lb chub. Best trout was around 1 lb but lost a couple of much larger ones. All caught on a flash back nymph strung under a dry sedge. Cool with a strong downstream breeze. Few rising fish and no evening rise although there were a few medium sedges about.

10 x trout 6 -13 inches. Mostly small fish on various dries and spiders. A very hot, bright and difficult day with the water now extremely low. Spent some of the afternoon trying unsuccessfully to stalk chub on the shallows.

My own resolution while the weather stays like this is to concentrate on the late evenings on the main rivers, and spend the days on the shady small streams, some of which are fishing extremely well at the moment.

Very low water, 3 small fish 8inches or so 1 to klinkhammer 2 to nymph under indicator fished in very fast water as it came over stones and pushed in to near bank. If you want a very good B.B Park Place Guest House tel 01873 810878 is right on the river at Crickhowell.

Bright day but with a cold wind. Very little signs of rising fish. Not a great deal of fly life. Nothing caught.

An enjoyable day at Dan-y-Parc on Monday. A heavy grannom hatch in the morning left us scratching our heads as we failed to trouble the scorers, but in the afternoon the olives started and fish were still rising to them as we packed to leave for home at 6.30pm. In total 6 superbly conditioned trout fell to a jingler, with many more missed due to poorly timed strikes. All were over 1lb with the best more than 2lb. Great fishing on a fabulous beat.

1 no Brown trout – 12in – returned
