Very quiet for me I`m afraid, saw nothing and touched nothing on pretty much perfect water.

A couple of trout for a full days effort !

3 x 1lb trout...caught and released. 1 x grayling...caught and released. All caught on small Klinkhammers and Olives. One human nearly killed by heart failure when Inlet/Outlet pipe triggered as clearance procedure whilst rod holder nearby. This happens every twenty minutes and might be worth noting for the unsuspecting. It can also lead to the short sighted claiming a 'rise' in the middle of the current... although I am not sure any rod would deal with the kind of beast that this would represent.

The workmen upgrading the waterworks are currently throwing a lot of food into the river to encourage the fish.. this appears to be helping somewhat as there was plenty of activity.

No success on upper beat. On arriving at the lower beat, a light hatch of Grannom was underway, although there were only a few very occasional rises to be seen. 1 fine trout (1lb) caught on Grannom at Llangoed pool. Further rises to Grannom 200 yds below the rapids, providing good sport. A rapid change to March Browns needed, as a strong hatch brought vigorous rises everywhere. Exciting fishing! 2 more trout of 1ib caught. Very light hatch of dark olives. 1 further 15 oz trout to a Kite's Imperial. A big trout was caught but lost as I hadn't spotted my hook had lost its tip - schoolboy error! A great afternoon's entertainment.

The day was Cold and grey, some grannom. Two trout, best 10 inches. Three oos grayling, best 11 inches.

Two small brown trout and two os grayling on gold head nymph. The morning rise was short lived.

Spent circa 4hours on a very full river, very pleasant but no fish. Plenty of canoes around.

Fishing in my t-shirt for the afternoon, who would have thought so in Oct. Not a salmon seen or touched though. My first year salmon fishing though so the learning curve is steep. As ever a really nice stretch with some quality runs. Lots of scouting done for next time. Did catch 6 trout though, one had me wondering for a second or two.

Excellent afternoon's fishing on a positively balmy indian Summer day with temperatures hovering around the 28/29 degree centigrade mark - perfect conditions with no wind although very clear and slow running water.
Perhaps too hot and too many insects around as there were a whole host of very lazy rises until late in the evening, but unfortunately nothing interested in my butcher fly - although did see a couple of Heron and Kingfishers flying along the river.

River in great nick, very clean and a really great commune with nature.

Nasty downstream wind. No fly No rises. 3wbt, all small. 2 dace,and 2 salmon parr. All on nymphs.
