A wet (torrential) day so no surface action. The fish were found in a couple of sections of faster water, but these are small due to the low water level. Fished from 12-4pm.

A warm, sunny day with a slight breeze blowing.
Beautiful beat, some midges but very little other sign. No obvious fish seen, spooked or eating. A few small fry on the edges at least indicated there were breeding fish here!

Tried dried and nymphs, but many of the ‘pools’ were simply slower flows behind trees and obstacles.

A beautiful beat but oddly quiet.

First time on this beat. Late start around 3pm because of heavy rain. This had been accurately forecast and as I had planned, (and hoped) it brought the river to life. I had a great afternoon going into the evening with some lovely fish caught and safely returned. Best of the day a cracking brownie of 22 inches.

Most fish caught on nymphs in the fast riffles, a few on the dry in the evening.

1 small trout returned and 1 parr likewise. Several more small trout hooked but not successfully landed. Not many fish rising. Czech nymphing successful in fast flows. A really lovely beat with very varied conditions - nice to be able to use the fisherman’s hut especially in the very heavy downpours. Thanks. Once again a big thanks to Fishing Passport for enabling us to access some beautiful waters.

A sublime session on a local beat ....Nice being back on the streams, having had clients on guided days on Nantymoch reservoir, and the Elan Valley Lakes, along with Claerwen Reservoir...Thoroughly enjoyable and , fab sport on the big wild waters in fairness....... Happy clients....happy days !!!
Dry fly sport all the way, as is always the case with Me on the streams. I feel after the mayfly, they are well and truly looking up on a daily basis !!! Lovely splashy aggressive hits today on this old favourite beat !!! Lost count after sixteen, but maybe a few more, not sure in fairness..... .. Also, a few long range, very polite trout self released!! So kind !!!!
Fish all between six snd nine inches ...always good little scrappers here .... Great bold takes to my dry ..
Half to risers, half prospectively cast to likely trouty areas ...Here they always take you by surprise .... bang nailing it just as you're watching a butterfly !! Oh well ....Great sport today
Looks lousy overnight, but, much needed rain to be honest ....Might squeeze in another stream tommorrow if it's not tooooooooo heavy rain, see how the mop flops !!!
Then, it's clients out again Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday...All on the big reservoirs, or mountain llyns . ...... lovely job!!! Right, cuppa time .......

hot and bright
a constant hatch of BWO and Sedges but no feeding other than the swooping Martins which made casting a nervy proposition

rose 3 and 2 to the net with prospecting the feed lines and shadier margins - successful flies were #16 parachute Adams and #18 Grizzly Adams
