Late afternoon start on a warm overcast day. Started off with the klink and dink method that produced 3 healthy 10" fish in quick succession, all on the hares ear nymph. A baron 2 hrs came to an end with a lovely 16" fish, again on the nymph which lept out the water at least 6 times before tiring and being netted and returned safely without any hand contact. As the sun dropped the spinners were on the wing and the fish were obliging. 5 more 10" to 12" fish returned and many more lost or missed. I love evening this time of the year.

Booked beat and managed to fish couple hours before a phone call... Small fish rising but no takes unfortunately.

Fished the Taf Fechan. Water was very low low so targeted the riffly/pocket water with a size 14 olive klinkhammer. Managed to pick a dozen or so small wbt up to 1/4lb. I then snuck off on the main river for a couple of hours. The main river was very low so stuck to the same tactics in the faster water but this time with a Klink and dink. Managed to pick off up yo 20 wbt up to 2lb.

One small brownie took a pheasant tail nymph and one larger of about 12 inches took a mayfly imitation. I was fishing downstream of Merthyr, very pretty beat that I will fish again

Had a lovely day on a really nice beat. Tough days fishing due to non cooperative fish but managed to snag three small Browns and lost a much bigger fish due to barbless hooks. All caught on beaded nymphs in the fast water. Very pleasant owner with good parking and access.

Afternoon and evening session. Canoe traffic was relatively light and mostly polite. Fly and spin. Salmon showing on a regular basis but could only tempt one pike, one chub and four shad.

1 Chub, 1 Pike, 4 Other

The morning overcast persisted but it grew steadily warmer and more humid as the day wore on. An amazing variety of birds were intent on picking off emerging upwings but the trout weren’t interested. Occasional movement subsurface seemed to be from smaller fish. I worked hard for my trout. I tried a variety of dries and emergers with little success. One fish rising in a shaded glide took a rusty Klinkhammer but the other five all came to small weighted nymphs. Best fish 8”.

Warm and mainly overcast. Fish rising regularly. 2 good condition brown trout caught and released, under 1/2 lb each. Fishing dry fly. Accommodation at Travellers Rest excellent as always, 1/2 mile from beat. The WUF continues to provide an efficient and easy to use service. Thanks.
