Didn’t quite know where to go today , after a frantic few days boxing things up up and bubble wrapping pictures , for my onward journey eventually to Rhayader , once the sale legalities are through …. Plumbed for my old favourite , the Edw at Hundred House , got there at midday , tackled up my trustee six foot , two weight , and the tiniest para Iron blue ,which , initially was good , had two on that , splashy savage takes , and two on a rusty klinkhammer . Fish today all about seven or eight inches ……

Not much insect life till one , a few olives , and late sedges , but otherwise , with the rather unpleasant north wind , fairly quite …I did dip the water with the thermometer , eight degrees , decidedly cold I thought !!!! felt it through my hardwearing nylon wild streams waders too !!!!

Nice to see three kingfishers up and down , not sure what was going on , battle for territory perhaps , very vocal , and one stood his ground too puffed up on what looked like a favourite fishing perch !!!!should have taken a flask of coffee tbh , felt nippy when I got out at half two , a pleasant couple of hours here , river still low , but I’ve enjoyed the season here , and she’s like an old buddy to me , some good winter floods will tidy her up , I wished her well as I scoffed my Ginsters pastie after I’d packed my kit away and got out of my waders , hoping the residents have a calm and productive ( !!!! ) back end to the year , May squeeeeeeeeeeeze a final rivers session in on the Arrow , before seasons end , then it’s just some of the upland Llyns and Claerwen which some stay open till the 17 October ….. anyway , back home , and a large Baileys coffee ……. Sorted !!!!!!!!
