At last it has been possible to fish at Ty Newydd! I needn't have bothered though... The rise in the water level that happened on Sunday/Monday turned the water to broccoli soup. I couldn't see my feet when wading. I did catch a few small trout but no sign of salmon at all.

One trout of about half a pound, in good condition.
Delightful venue, of course, but challenging fishing conditions with low, clear water and a virtually cloudless sky in very strong sun until about 30 minutes before dark. A stealthily presented, short drag-free drift with a dry can be achieved with lots of concentration. There was a quite dramatic fly hatch throughout the evening, but very, very little surface fish activity.
There was a very active family of otters around the middle of the beat (almost opposite the bench on the right bank - they seemed to be based there) which, however delightful to observe for a period obviously did not enhance the fishing experience.

River still fairly high, over the boards at the fishing hut. Clear though. I have to say, of the beats I have fished, this one has been looked after well. New fences, styles, pathways. All resulting in a good beat with good access to the water. Whilst I didn’t hit with the salmon I caught some lovely brown trout all around the 1-2lb mark.
For anyone thinking of coming in next few days, mayfly starting to show. Small yellow and larger olive green patterns will be the go to flies.
All in all a good day. I’ll come to this beat again..

No fish caught, nothing raising, water running fast, tried my best. Lovely day all the same.
