Small trout caught on small pheasant tail missed three. Saw two very nice trout but alas they spotted me too. Still great fun. Thank you.

River very low ... all the fish were taken in fast water, nymph suspended under an indicator ... hooked and lost a couple.

Evening ticket and fished from 17:30 onwards. Blustery downstream wind made dries difficult but managed to bring one fish up to a para Adams on the flats. Not a lot hatching at all and even fewer fish rising. Had a go with various nymphs in pocket water and the tail of the upper bridge pool. Couple of missed plucks from tiny things. Will be back to give this beat a thorough going over when there's a bit more water.

Fished on an evening ticket from the bridge downstream. I fished with dries (Adams, Tups, Greenwell's) and then nymphs (GHHE, GRHE, stonefly) and Dad with winged wets. Only one rise and two plucks.

Plenty of sedges and fly life generally but very few fish moving and the few that I saw were easily spooked. Fished into the evening and changed tactics to dragging a biblio across the surface which produced a flurry of takes for about half an hour. I must have lost 6 or 7 before I finally brought a fish of about a pound to hand.

In addition to Penpont,I also fished Cefn Rhosan Fawr ( also pre-booked ) on June 27. On both beats, no catches, little fish showing but good fly life. Cormorant seen at Ashford from the Talybont bridge.
