1'7" and falling on the Llanstephan gauge as dawn broke....a lovely height.
Lovely early morning to lunchtime session, unfortunately the cloud cover was short lived and air temperatures soared to 30+ degrees!
Not quite the day after a rise I was hoping for.
Nonetheless a nice height to fish the Rectory at.

Fished from 4pm till 8.30pm. Water at 1ft 5" falling to 1ft 3" 4ft vis and just under 17 degrees C.

A blisteringly hot afternoon. 30 degrees at 4pm! Started on the faster water on the bottom half but gave up after fishing Mill stream and the neck and middle of Rectory and retired for a drink. Moved up to upper half and no sign of a fish until the sun went off the water. Saw a couple head and tail in final hour (tail of Rock and between the stones in the Bridge pool) and heard another jump behind me when fishing tail of Rock pool. Only excitement was a tightening to a worked fly at the end of the tail of the Rock pool, around the spot I had seen a fish show a few minutes before.

37" hen fish from the Mill Race. The fish took a 1/2 inch Ally's brass tube. Had a strong feeling there was a fish in the lie in the neck, moved it on 3rd cast, caught it on 4th, Great scrap with an 80m run at one point. Didn't cast again and rushed back to car happy to get back home and take over family duties.

1 Salmon

Largest fish was chub of 4lbs. Grayling to 1.5lbs. Trout to 1.25lbs. River very low but fish shoaled in streamier well oxygenated runs.

8 Trout, 12 Grayling, 1 Chub, 22 Other

No salmon caught or seen, had 1 chub on the fly and hooked 2 small trout.

1 Trout, 1 Chub

Another poor day with only the top part of the beat above the bridge fishable. Again access bad with no clear paths cut. The odd little sign would help and being related to a mountain goat for access would be an advantage.

Nothing.

No salmon seen or caught, only 2 trout from Mill Stream.
