Two salmon parr taken on Adam's parachute. The Edw, as advised by Wye and Usk Foundation, was extremely low, but I found some fishable pools and plenty of willing fish in a short two-hour evening session. Only had the two but must have had at least a dozen lightening takes.

Lovely evening. Quiet early on but plenty of rises to adams dry fly as dusk approached.

Plenty of small trout and some nice fish in the deeper holes. Caught some nice fish up to 11 inch.

All fish caught on weighted PTN fished on a French leader.
The fish were very spooky in the low clear water but were more than willing to take a nymph in the faster runs. Best fish a plump 12 incher the rest between 6 and 10 inches.
countless Salmon parr around who would grab anything that moved then wriggle of the hook.
Thanks to the visiting angler I met at the top of the beat who kindly gave me a lift back down to the car.

Warm day and river very low. Fished from 11:00 to 15:00 mainly on the lower stretch of the beat. Plenty of hatching fly including the odd Mayfly. Pair of Kingfishers seen. Fish caught on dry fly.

Great day on the river with plenty of trout up to 12 inch. Most fish caught on the nymph.

Some might find this strange but I'm not sure I fully enjoyed the fishing today. A personal competitiveness took over and I began to focus on the numbers rather than enjoying the process. I caught 17 fish on the bottom part of the beat and then drove on to the top part for the last part of the afternoon and caught 11 more. A mixed bag of sizes and nothing above 12". All caught on either an Adams Parachute or a Mayfly pattern.

Fished after work 6.30 - 9.30pm up to the footbridge.
This is a beautiful small river with a very high density of trout. Not much rising but a few mayfly seen and also smaller upwing spinners. Fished a big klink with a copper john size 16 NZ style. About a 50/50 split between the two flies. 14 landed 5 - 12 inches, plenty in the 9-11 inch range. Average fish size increased noticeably as it got dark. Numerous fish were lost, missed and pricked- could have been easily 30+ fish to hand... Great evenings sport!

A great day on a lovely beat, countless misses and a few lost on barbless. Eight to hand, nothing over 10 inches but all good fun on light gear. All taken off the top with Blonde Wulf between 13.00 and 18.30 during constant hatches of everything. Marvellous!
