In addition to Penpont,I also fished Cefn Rhosan Fawr ( also pre-booked ) on June 27. On both beats, no catches, little fish showing but good fly life. Cormorant seen at Ashford from the Talybont bridge.

Water level very low, overcast but warm. Day was spent with Chris for a days guidance on salmon fishing instruction learning to spey cast etc and other ideas for trout fishing and reading the water. I found this day a very useful time and much enjoyed the company of Chris.
I look forward to putting what I have learned into practice later in the season when conditions are better and salmon could be about in Sept/Oct.

Good day generally weatherwise, gusty downriver river wind, annoying but bearable. Plenty of flies coming off but very few rises so not much opportunity to fish the dry. All fish taken on small black CDC nymph, long nymphing which always works well here especially when the levels are quite low. No fish greater than a 1lb taken from various parts of the river. A great day and can´t wait to come back to one of my favourite beats!

Highish water after recent rain but clear. A very beautiful setting. We had some small trout (best about 1 lb), but yet again we were unable to stay for the evening. Wonder what we missed?

Water improving well after recent floods. Quite a few insects about but few fish rising. 4 fish caught on small nymphs the rest on dries. If a rising fish was targeted it would often take. Successful patterns mayfly duns or hares ear parachute Adams size 14. Very pleasant day.

Gusty conditions but much better than the forecast. The river was another world today, alive with flies of all shapes and sizes from midges to mayfly and even a few big stoneflies. The fish were lying low. Very few rises despite the fly life. Either replete or feeding off the emerging nymphs. Perhaps the chilly wind was keeping them down. A fascinating day on the river.
