V warm sultry evening with no wind at all. Reasonable evening rise and a plethora of biting insects on the wing ! 3 BT caught but further problems with the bull in the access field which saw me having to wade across the river lower down, walk up the opposite bank then back across above the higher limit of his electric fence. The reverse procedure at 11pm after the rise had ended was dicey in the gloaming but less so than risking the bull !!

Very low river. No activity until late in the evening.

Fished above the bridge and the water looked fairly low but still good.
Moved along very carefully ,watched and waited, cast a variety of the usual productive flies prospectively into juicy spots and runs but nowt, nothing ( apart from a couple or so greedy tiddlers having a go ) and no sign of fish and no real fly too, even late in to the evening.
A proper conundrum to me still as such good water for it !
Still it is lovely and peaceful up there for sure , the lovely Beacons in the distance and think I will take the nymphs box next time or maybe even micro streamers.

Oh ,yes, be advised theres a bull in the field there too ! Snuck up on me he did all quiet like along with his lady friends coming down for a drink! I could have poked him with the rod tip almost and he seemed more bemused than angry at the fool in front of him but I still dont trust 'em and its quite amazing how quick you can wade over rocks that under normal circumstance have you stumbling and sliding a bit !
