Awful weather today,torrential rain until about 2 pm . I only fished for about 2 hours but I knew it was pointless. Spent most of the day in the hut watching the river getting higher and dirtier. By the afternoon it was like mud with only 1" visibility !. Caught a tiny grayling early on and a salmon parr.

Low water levels. Caught first grayling on klinkhammer. Most others caught with gold Head ptn.

Never saw a rise, the entrance is a scary one…

Trout was from the left hand bank, almost opposite the owner's fishing hut, on a small heavy nymph. The small grayling were from the mouth of Clettwr Brook on a size 20 parachute adams.

River relatively low and the odd rise here and there. 2 trout and 2 nice size grayling all on a dry fly. Thoroughly enjoyable day

Excellent day, nice and bright but did not stop the fish from obliging. Best trout 14 inches

So plenty of rain the day before had freshened up the river and the runs I had fished two days earlier were moving faster. Fished entirely the wrong part of the day - mid morning until 4pm as I was tired in the morning after fishing Doldowlod the day before and had to travel home. The grayling were on the euro set up and lost 3 more but the amount of interest was low compared to two days earlier. Didn’t really fancy the tricky wading of the run at the top of the beat so had a go at prospecting with a sculpin pattern on the remainder of the deeper sections lower down. Pretty sure I had a couple of plucks but no hook ups. Fish were rising throughout the day and several decent sized trout cleared the water leaping, all of course in the most ridiculously inaccessible areas

Wow the water level is low. So I wasn’t really counting how many I actually caught but I lost more grayling than I got to the net, and I caught quite a lot. I caught one really good one and lost 4 better ones, the best probably after 3 or 4 minutes of playing it and I never even saw it!
I euro nymphed in the morning and clink and dinked from 4 till just before dark. Only one fish rose to the dry.
There were significantly more single fish rising early morning than evening. I didn’t catch a trout all day. Plenty of salmon par, again I lost count of how many.
Tried a bit of indicator fishing in the top section and will give it a proper go in a couple of days time when I do it all again. This is the first place I really fished in wales and I feel quite sentimental when I come back. Where have the trout gone though?
