Cold grey and dark day, more typical of early March than mid April. Sparse hatch of LDOs from 1300 to 1500. Five trout all on dries: 16”, 16”, 14”, 12” and 11”. All returned.

River high but clear. Strong wind and sunshine prevented any sustained hatch though occasional fish could be found rising in more sheltered spots and 4 nice fish of 17"15"13"11" were caught on Copper John (x 1) and Comparadun (x3)

Bright sunshine all day, river high and very clear. Just a few small olives seen, only two trout seen rising. Tried both nymphs and duo, nothing caught.

After a week of positive catch returns on Dinas, and Brecon gauge at 1' 6", I decided to give it a go. I fished a march brown nymph & hares ear gold head duo on a 10' 3WT in the fast runs and pocket water for 4 1/2 hours. I can't even say I had a couple of knocks, there was nothing moving at all. With a light wind and some bright sun, there was a slow hatch during the day which had a 30 minute hot spot around 2pm with many insects on the surface. Still no fish!

Did not fish, river high so cut my losses and headed home
