Too bright- but lovely afternoon on a delightful stretch of river with stunning Brecon peaks in the distance. No sign of activity except for a few v small fish. We only managed to fish 2 - 6.30pm. We will try again but fish early morning or evening to dusk.

2x half pounders late morning. Bright sunlight, warm.

Fished from 9.30 till 6pm. Fished the lower riffles and glides with rusty klinkhammer and PTN. Wet with some respit in rhe morning. Chucked it down for an hour or 2 from 2 til 4 but didnt deter the fish. A good number of surface activity. Caught 6 WBT from 12” to 18”. All took the klinkhammer rather than PTN. Great day despite getting very wet.

Arrived early afternoon post rain and 20minutes in found myself in the middle of a rise all around me. Couldn't tie a dry fly on quick enough! 3rd cast and I had a lovely brown trout with a good fight jumping clear of the water numerous times. They seemed to cotton on to me and after that they went completely quiet. Caught down the bottom end. Two trout evaded me all day up the top end. constantly feeding off the surface. Missed one of them twice through the course of the day on a klinkhammer. Several more misses through the early evening. Just as I was considering calling it a day the middle section woke up and the klink worked. 2 caught in the next 20minutes as a nice mist rolled down onto the river. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and evening. 3 netted, several missed.

Rain the whole day, not very warm but very wet. River in good condition but not a lot of activity. Been warm for the last few days and then a fair bit cooler, might have had an effect. Caught two WBT on nymph. One short rise in mid afternoon but nothing taken. Enjoyed the day.

Hot, sunny, windless day. Water very clear, odd fish rising but otherwise no general rise to speak of, lovely location.
Like a previous angler I encountered a large mink (with an attitude) it looked at me and then walked past literally at my feet completely unconcerned. reminder not to leave any fish unattended.
Did observe a Lamprey from the bank digging mid river in the gravel

3 trout caught on dries within the first 10 minutes of arriving at the beat - nothing thereafter all day. Strange day - lots of fish rising between 11:00 and 13:00 with very little thereafter. I spent a good hour trying to catch one fish at the bottom of the beat that was rising in a single location every few minutes. I failed on about half a dozen times to connect despite the fish rising to my fly - I think my strike action needs a bit of work. Enjoyable day anyway.
