nothing seen or caught

this was a funny and confusing day. We fished hard all three of us yesterday and to-day and didn't see or touch a thing. The willow pool and house pool look great as does the bridge, and spring pool , but they all seem baron. After a seat and chat with the boys I decided to go up to the top gutters, wow what an hour, first off a fish took on the dangle fought it for ten minutes and then ping off it swam . ok calm down and start again, bang into a different fish this one stuck, a full 9lbs the one I lost was bigger maybe about the 12lb mark It gave a quick good fight was unhooked and released without coming out of the river. On a sad point though, I came across a big diseased fish ,in the 18-20lb range, really badly covered in disease what a shame

this was so disappointing it really was, nothing touched or seen. ARE THERE ANY FISH THERE

no good what so ever

Fished long and hard, water looked great and inviting, lots of changes of flies but no nothing caught or seen. Worrying times i think

The river looked promising today having cleared a little more since yesterday.No salmon caught or seen though. Still, a lovely autumn day to be on beat.

1 Trout

Fledgling salmon angler at work. No takes on red francis or willie gunn variant. One salmon, about 2' long leapt in front of the hut.
Switched to a black and yellow tubefly which brought a take, close to spot where salmon seen. Brief heart stopping moment but just a lively small trout.

1 Trout

Fished the whole beat today, river clearing and 1’6” on the gauge. A small coloured cock fish soon after starting, and a few OOS trout further down the pool to the same fly. Fished until dark with no further offers, but did see a fish show in the Ferry late afternoon. Soaking wet all all day after too many slips and stumbles. From the top of Dolmeudwy. Small orange Francis .
Guesstimate 6lb.

1 Salmon, 3 Trout

The river was around 2ft most of the day. It was coloured, but plenty of visibility for fish to see the fly and it continued to clear into the evening. I fished systematically through many of the best pools, but no takes and no fish showing. I was using sink 3 and 1 inch to 1.5 inch tubes (Francis, snaelda etc.). Surprised not to have found a fish given favourable conditions. Perhaps a touch on the high side to get the best from the fly although very fishable. Anyway lovely day on the river casting with the kingfishers, dippers and other friendly anglers.
