Another very bright and warm day so fished afternoon and evening. 4 trout to bead head nymphs in deep fast water in the afternoon. A good rise after 9pm when 5 fish to 12/13" were caught on size 18 olive dries, plus a similar number came adrift. Fish seemed to be taking olive duns. River quite low and clear.

River at a nice height and running clear. Sun and cloud. Sultry; air temperature up to mid twenties. Water temperature 16C (14C in Cynrig). Fished dry Adams from Cynrig upstream to top of beat, followed by copper head GRHE and Woolly Bugger across and downstream from top of beat to Cynrig. Very poor hatch and few fish rising.
Caught 12 trout but only one over half a pound (1lb 1oz}. This was probably a stockie from another beat as it had spots of blue dye on its gill covers.
Thanks to my fellow rod for a nice cup of tea and a pleasant chat!

Very little seen until the very end of the day when trout rose as the sun really begun to set. Fished the top pool and persuaded three to take a hares ear fished in the surface film, the best being a bit over two pounds. Saw a couple of considerably larger fish make a brief appearance almost on dark.

No hatch, no rise, no fish.

A frustrating day. The forecast was poor but on arrival the weather was good. However the river was running high and very coloured, beyond my skills as an angler, I'm afraid. Nil catch.

A varied and very enjoyable days fishing with intermittent light hatches during the day but a good rise in the evening. We were a bit rusty with several takes missed and good fish lost before being brought to the net or hand.

It started raining as we arrived and continued all day but the river was in good condition. All trout were caught on a variety of wet flies. The majority were small. Only one was taken. In spite of the rain we had a great time.

Pouring rain for much of the day. Limited fly activity. There was a spell for 30 mins around 11am at the top end of the beat when the fish were rising to a Klinkhammer and I should have taken 5 fish of variable sizes. Ended up with 1 around 10 inches which was returned. Very quiet for the remainder of the day and took another fish about 10 inches on a gold head which was also returned.
