First cloudy day for ages; cold wind dropped but air temp still only 11C. River low and needs a refresh; algae is building and the shallows are getting slippery. All quiet until around 3pm when there was a quick hatch of olives. Two fish in short order on BWO.

A beautiful sunny day with a strong breeze at times. Guided by Oliver Burch and most fish caught on parachute adams or similar. Fish rising between 12noon and 3pm and ranged between 1/2 and 2lbs. A thoroughly enjoyable day ably assisted by OB.

Saw 3 rises all day. No luck. Very bright and low water

Fished to top of Abercynrig and the bottom of Dinas. Epic days fishing. Very stiff cold up stream breeze, fishing not rising despite a steady hatch from around midday, they did however show great interest in my fly.

All fish in the 2LB range which was remarkable, the benefits of being left alone for a year or a recent stocking ?

Fishing Passport Note : No stocking takes place on the Dinas fishery

Hard fishing
Nothing at all today

Fished Abercynrig on Monday and returned for an afternoon on the Dinas beat. Was sunny with a mild upstream breeze. Approach taken today was targeting the odd rising trout on a dry fly (Adams) . 1 Trout caught and released. Many missed - need to sharpen my hooks !

10am  bright, warm and sunny day with a light upstream breeze. Water very clear but not on it's bones. No insects coming off and no rising fish.
Walked to the bottom of the beat and cast out a dry LDO. It was taken immediately, sadly the fish came off. A similar occurence happened about half an hour later. Following that a fish came up to inspect my fly and was not impressed. It was now getting towards noon. I decided to have an early lunch.
Walked along the remainder of the beat. Odd fish were rising but not in numbers. A small but steady stream of LDO's were now floating downstream but the numbers of rising fish remained low. By 3pm the rises were very few and far between.
I decided to call it a day with a total of 2 fish to the net and 4 lost.
A pleasant day but no cigar.
