Very nice day on the river. Waterlevels are low with fish rising in the pools. Trout in the range of 6" to 11" came to the dry and nymph fished in the head of the pools.

2 of us fished from c. 11am until 4ish. River was very low and the fishing was very tough along quite a few stretches. We picked up fish from most of the likely spots in the conditions - a mix of trout and a few salmon parr. Both of us fished the Duo all day, with most fish coming to a plain nymph.

River at a good level but quite coloured. Had about a dozen small trout, biggest 10”. Many more bumped or missed. Not much rising but a CDC and elk brought them up plus a couple on beaded ptn.

Water high and muddy so I was unable to see my wading boots even in 1' of water, but clearing slightly by the end of the day. Trout up to 9", mostly on a tungsten weighted micro PTN. One 7" Salmon Parr, all carefully returned. a beautiful stretch and fun way to fish when washed off the river Wye.

A couple of hours in the shade of the Edw valley after a hot visit to the show at Builth.
About half a dozen small trout to a small unweighted nymph/spider. Plenty more too quick for me or came off.

The 04.45 start and 180 odd mile drive was rewarded with the Edw being in better shape than anticipated , 10 wbt to hand 5-10 ins and a cracking 13incher to the net, Griffith Gnat took 4, others to Grey Duster Para.
All returned in good condition. A great 4hrs on the Edw again.

Had a great day on the Edw today.
Slow start and some flies coming off but took a while to find flies that worked. Fished the duo mostly and more than half to the CDC and deer hair and a few less on a peeping caddis 2mm beaded nymph. 5 or 6 were real fighters with fish to around 10”.
On the down side I also caught almost every tree but only lost one. Gained one from a branch I snagged where someone else broke off.

Great sport this afternoon with the weather a bit cooler than of late.
Fished various methods on the tenkara rod all caught fish today.
Most trout took a black magic nymph either fished single or duo and some later to a Para Adams.
Usual size range 4 to 10 inches.

A very different river from three weeks ago with the water coming through very fast, nothing rising and very little fly life to speak of. Three 5-6” trout caught on the Hares Ear nymph and safely returned. Not a bad day, particularly with the kingfishers flashing up and down the river.
