Beautiful day on this lovely beat introducing my 10 year old son to river fly fishing.Lovely welcome from the owner at Penpont who showed us where to park and how to access the river. Lots and lots of moving fish but couldn't find the dry to tempt them - we literally were casting onto their heads at times. Switched to a single size 16 hare's ear on an indicator and got some takes. My son hooked and lost a very good fish using this method. Tough beat but a lovely day followed by dinner at The Griffin at Felin Fach which more than made up for our blank!

Evening ticket. A salmon in the pool above the bridge treated us to a leap. Trout rising but picky and spooky, as usual. Finally managed a couple each before it was too dark to see. There are some good sized fish, but hard to catch in low clear water that is barely moving. Good challenge on a beautiful beat. Praying for rain now.

Lovely looking beat and has easy wading for most of its length and plenty of room if (like me) your casting is less than perfect. Thing is, it is quite deceptive. It looks like a lot of water but an awful lot of it is ankle-deep runs over gravel and stones. You really need to know WHERE to fish.
Temperature was c21c, overcast and the wind had miraculously dropped, so conditions were good. Water rather low for the time of year. Plenty of tiny terrestrials around and the odd aquatic insect but nothing rising other than the odd sprat. Tried a parachute Adams, a Klinkhamer and then the Duo with a deer hair emerger and a goldhead GRHE. I thought I was being reasonably stealthy but had no takes. A deceptively hard beat, I think. Saw a heron and a Kingfisher but it is a pretty expensive method of birdwatching...

Hottest day of the year. High sun. Low water. Definitely not trout fishing conditions. Not a fish rose all day. However, we managed to tease out a couple of nice fish. 10" and 12"+, using tungsten-weighted nymphs in the deeper runs. Very happy with these fish given the conditions.

Warm, overcast, light breeze, sporadic light hatches. No excuse really is there. However the Penpont trout had other ideas. Not many rising unfortunately. Three fish up to a pound that were hard won. Had to wait til 8pm for two of them on BWO. Daytime fish on parachute Adams. Hard work but very enjoyable.
