Haven't been here since it was part of Abercynrig. There are good places to find salmon but no sign here today. The water was pretty low and clear and will likely remain that way until the season ends.... It looks like the season will just whimper out again.
I did catch 4 trout. It still amazes me that they take my salmon flies with 15lb line! All were safely returned.
There was an awful lot of plastic bottle waste present, not to mention bits of car and a bicycle in the river. I have written to the WUF about this.

Very low water - 4 BT caught all returned

Water was gin clear making fish very picky. Steady rises to various upwings throughout the day and despite many fly changes they didn't seem interested in imitations. Rises were in flat water making it even more tricky.
2 fish from faster water on elk hair caddis fishing duo and one on a gold head hares ear. A lovely beat with lots of fishy looking water but not a massively productive day.

A warm sunny day. The odd rise but, around midday and early afternoon, little surface activity. Two trout, around 10 inches to a parachute Adams.

A fresh, slightly breezy day - mainly sunny. Virtually no signs whatsoever of fish rising. Fished, nevertheless, with dry flies (as nymphing is something of a dark art, to me)
Both my companion and myself are inexperienced which I am sure counts a lot to the fact that we caught nothing.
Had a pleasant day nonetheless, with lots of experience of casting both into and across the wind.

Fished for a couple of hours in the evening. Plenty of fish jumping but none seemed to be feeding on the surface. The 3 I did catch went for a ptn fished deep. 1 was 6" the other two were about 14".

Mild and overcast with the river falling after heavy rain the day before. Rising fish in the flats throughout most of the day but none rising in the faster water. A good pale watery hatch through the middle of the day. All fish taken on small CDC dries and a parachute Adams. The largest only about 3/4 of a pound and we missed many more takes including what looked like some better fish!
We walked along the bank in the early evening and saw two men walking briskly along the far edge of the field towards the road with rods in their hands. We then found 2 freshly killed trout in the shallows where they must have been. We had passed by the same spot only an hour before so they can't have been there long. We have reported it to WUF and to the hotline number on the ticket info. Such a shame but an otherwise great day.

WUF, please note the lock at gate 3 is very difficult to open, need oil or something.On the plus side the new gate under the road bridge is excellent and makes access so much easier. As for the fishing, despite some recent rain water not that high and a bit red. A lovely day and two WBT taken, one to hand and one about 12 inches. Both taken GBHE in the middle part of the beat. Very sunny day and most enjoyable, topped off by a salmon leap just a few yards from me whilst wading, scared the life out of me but a wonderful sight.
