Did not fish river too high for me

I badly underestimated the last 48 hours rainfall and arrived at 10.30 to find the beat unfishable.
Chucked a spinner for half an hour and drove home.

Note to WUF.
The Llanstephan gauge is important to anglers travelling some distance to fish the upper river. Even more so now with the cost of petrol and diesel !
Could you prioritise it’s repair/ replacement please?

Had a couple of hours out on the Rectory stretch. River has dropped a good 6 inches from yesterday so it was looking good. Fished the main Rectory pool saw nothing touched nothing, then went up to the mill pool, half way down bang into a fish of about 10lbs had it on for two minutes thrashing on the top when the spinner came loose . Never mind where there is there is more

River probably at 1’5” today but as the Llanstephan gauge is still a storm casualty it was difficult to judge accurately. Alternated between salmon prospecting and trout fishing. No salmon seen but the milder temperature saw small numbers of LDO’s floating by for most of the afternoon. All of the fish 9-10”, from the flats and the Mill pool on various spiders and nymphs.
Partridge and Orange most successful. I was too slow on the strike to hook the many other offers.
There were a lot of canoeists on the beat today, but at least they were courteous and kept away from where I was fishing as best as they could.

A trickle of olives from noon brought some trout up. Will have to sharpen the reflexes to make the most of the very quick takes. A tiny grayling saved the day, caught on the dangle near the bridge.
Still, good to see rising fish so early in the season.
