River low and very clear. Clouds of Black Gnats and Sedges, with many rising fish, how ever, they were fixated on something, which we later found out were spent flies, possibly BWO's as they were small with mauve wings. With a combination of very small dry flies and nymphs, we caught 6 fish, best 2lbs 1.25lbs. In Chain Pool we noted a female Goosander with a flotilla of nine chicks ! ! !

Struggled upstream with headwind. No joy with dries , emergers , nymphs. Downstream worked better with spiders. Two trout caught of which one c 1lb or so . Enjoyed the day - beautiful scenery, birds singing.....

Hard work in bright sunny conditions. River was in good condition and nymphs seemed to be the choice.

Great beat, eight trouts all with dry flies. Biggest 2lbs. Good activity from 11 to 15. Didn’t like the access from the House, too much tricky for a tourist. I think would be better to enter the beat from the upstream limit.

First time on this stretch which we really liked despite somewhat blustery conditions. Quite a few of what we think were March Browns coming off and the fish were feeding on nymphs sub-surface. 2 WTB caught largest just under 2lb plus another hooked and played but did not get to the net. Enjoyable session.

Bright sun and a fierce downstream wind, so hard work. Fishing dries through the shaded areas under trees proved most successful. Lots of nips and tugs on small nymphs, but couldn't connect. All fish safely returned.

The weather was overcast and fairly cold, with a downstream breeze. The river was showing 12inches on the Brecon cam, but was falling from an earlier flood and so was still a little coloured. There was very little fly activity, just a few sporadic hatches and the fish were reluctant to show. Both trout fell to a small dry elk hair sedge.

Cold temperatures during most of the day (7-8 deg C) with very little contact with any fish, late warmth and a drop in the northerly wind brought some fish to the surface especially on the bottom end of the beat near the house.

Didn't fish because of atrocious weather
