Lovely day, river low and v. clear despite the recent rain. Trickle of mayflies through the day, and others, did not excite the trout (although I had to leave by 6.30 so may have picked up later). Landed 4 (9 to 11") and missed more, all on para dries.

A lovely pool just above the Bridge was followed by quite a long stretch of unappealing water. Eventually the beat started to look better but the fishing was not easy. One of us fished deep nymphs downstream in fast water and caught 6 fish mostly in the first deep fast corner pool. The other persevered with upstream mayfly and caught nothing. We did not fish all the way to the top of the beat but headed off to spend the rest of our day on the Middle Llynfi Dulas.

Good fish 1x 1lb 2 oz. All fish returned.

River in good condition but an awkward brisk downstream wind. Not much flylife visible. Fished small dries (klinkhammers, shuttlecocks) and took 3 small (4") trout. Switched to a GRH nymph and took a better (9") fish from a hole.

Fished from 10 til 4 today and had some good fun on a #14 para Adams. Lots of fly life including a few mayfly starting to appear. All fish in good condition including the clonker which took off like a train and managed to wriggle himself off the barbless hook. Would of liked to get a good look at that one but never mind, I know where he lives.....

The river was surprisingly clear after the recent rain with rising fish along the whole beat however fish were particularly selective and feeding just below the surface for most of the day. Casting into the wind with light tackle made for a challenging day. I took 6 trout biggest 12" and lost 2 really good sized fish, one due to operator error with a poorly tied tapered leader conversion...duh! The other, to a smart fish who shook itself off.
In a month or so the banks will be very difficult to struggle through because of vegetation. Thanks to all at WUF.

6 Trout

Mostly caught on dry klinkhammers. A couple caught on bead head GRHE. BT to 1.5lb and grayling to 0.75lb.

Large hatch for about an hour and a half but didn't see one rise. 1 trout of around 1.5lbs others about 6-8". 5 grayling from 12-16" all on weighted March Brown nymph, Fished duo style under a klinkhammer. Nice afternoon to be out!

Had a go at this beat for the first time today around lunchtime, again bright blue skies and felt a touch warmer than yesterday. This beat has a good variety of water with some lovely dry fly pools but sadly I only saw 1 tiddler rising. Didn't see much fly life although the pair of wagtails were flat out feeding there chicks in a nest under the bridge! Worked my way up with a small nymph and managed 2 trout biggest was 11 inches and 2 grayling, biggest was a fat 14 inches but sadly showed signs of recently having a tussle with a barbed hook. Will definitely be back for another go here, hopefully with a few rising fish and armed with a box of dry flies!!
