Fished from late morning until early evening and managed to catch only two trout the largest of which was about 10 inches, all returned . Both caught on an Adams parachute. Saw several fish jump several inches out of the water, perhaps thinking they were sea trout!

Hot, bright and river very low. Fish very spooky due to the river level however I managed two 8" trout on a nymph at the beginning of the session and then a 14" on a dry in the evening. Clearly some decent fish in the stretch and I look forward to returning in more favorable conditions.

Dry fly and nymph upstream. The river is very low and clear, few fish showing and easily spooked. Not my day, nothing caught.

After Dinas and Abercynrig the night before, my brother and I turned our attention to Penpont further upstream. Another warm evening and difficult conditions. I fished above the bridge and brought two nice trout to hand from the top gutters whilst my brother fished downstream and had no luck whatsoever. This river needs rain.

After fishing the Usk yesterday I knew that really it wasn't worth it until late in the evening so I only started fishing at about eight o'clock. Just about then there was quite a good mixed hatch with some yellow mays coming off amonst others. Still tricky fishing and spooky fish, very easy to put a riser down with a lack of stealth of a bad cast. In the end I chose to go slow and target rising fish missing a few and landing about half a dozen before the light was gone and the hatches pretty much over. A lovely section with a number of good riffles perfect for dry fly work at this water level which is very low at present.
Again thanks for the opportunity to fish these amazing beats and lovely rivers..
