We only managed to get halfway up the beat since there were so many rising fish which continued for for most of the day. We missed many but found some good fish in the deeper pools and in the shade along the banks. The water level was good but could do with a bit of rain. Lots of dippers, grey wagtails and distant woodpecker. Great day out.

Very hot and river low, fished afternoon in bright sunshine. Not the greatest combination! However fish were rising in the Bronllys Castle area, though I only fished upstream from the footbridge. Two takes to a dry fly, both missed, plus a few rises too difficult to cast to.

Good to be back on this beat after the crayfish plague curtailed any visits last year. Very hot day, river was very low and clear. A few fish were rising by the church but couldn’t tempt any of them to a fly. Fished up to halfway on the beat without seeing anything else move.

A few fish were moving in very shallow water at the run into one of the deep pools and finally managed to get one, a very nice 22 inch trout. We walked up to the where the double bank access turns to single and the old man had two out of there. After a bit of a rest we headed back to the same place I’d had the fish earlier in the afternoon and dad managed to get another 2 in the same spot before the long walk back to the car.

By the time we were back down by the church the thunder was getting closer and it soon started to rain so we decided to return to the car and call it a day. Despite the heat and the aching legs the next day another enjoyable day out on this beat. We’ll be back when the grayling reappear and hopefully there will be some rain before then, it is desperately needed!
