Water low and gin clear 1' on guage. Spinning in Llangoed pool, fly the rest. One large splash at head of Llangoed could have been a salmon. No fish seen. Very bright and hot day. Salmon fishing waste of time really but long way to travel from Kent. Enjoyed the day very much and impressed with the fishery.

Well, my day started with a flat tyre followed by a fly box falling into the river and being washed away, then a leak in my waders! The fish also were disinclined to cooperate the only decent one caught was by a friendly otter who had a mammoth battle with a 2lb brownie. He eventually lost out and the fish escaped. The otter has my sympathy! A beautiful beat but I couldn't work out how to fish it. The gullies between the rock are quite deep and fast and even my weighted bugs were swept away too quickly I think. No fish rising and not much fly life. I think we're still not quite 'awake'.

Great day on the river but sadly no salmon. My beginners luck didn’t hold. Beautiful water and mostly sunny day. Although I did manage to catch a 1lb trout on a small cascade fly. Met a fellow angler on the bank who gave me some good advice and pointed me in the right direction - Thank you Charles.
