Nice afternoon out but should have taken a shorter rod!

6 Trout

Plenty of rises but no takes

Fly fishing from 1100 -1400. Dull, damp and misty. Not a touch for first 2 1/2 hours. Moved to near dam and had 2 in 15 mins.

One nice 8" Brownie. Caught on a grammus nymph.
Water very coloured am, started to clear pm. Levels look normal.

Some modest hatches of upwing species mostly blue winged dunn(?) afternoon. Fish starting to rise for them.
I expect a good evening session, but unfortunately not for me. Beautiful stream. Easy wading. Great directions.

Good numbers of small fish rising and willing to take the fly from mid afternoon. All were 8 to 12 inches.

First visit of the season to Llangoed, unfortunately marked by another lost salmon, which came to a pearly tosh tube soon after starting in coloured water.One run and I was treated to quite an aerobatic display before we parted company. The blood pressure was still high when shortly after I had another take but only ended up returning a very fat Shad. They are up quite early this year.
Uneventful after that start, and the river continued to colour up through the afternoon leading to an early finish. Next Time…..
