Lovely day weatherwise, but up against it from the off. The shallow water came as no surprise, but the weed coated bottom meant that everything was arduous. And then, from 9 am onwards, the Canoe and Paddle board tsunami. The majority are fine, but as in all areas of life, the unbelievably entitled must have their say and way.. One gent (not a youngster) seemingly delighting in heading straight towards a well settled and obvious line.
The Barbel (7+) and the Chub (4) came to ledger and pellet. Both around mid-day, both to the same angler. Faster water near island swim was targeted, but canoe traffic (and wild swimmers) made it a struggle.
River desperately needs a really good flush through, a rise in levels, and some cooler weather. It was noticeable, that both fish gave little struggle.
A lovely day otherwise.

Tough day, very low water levels, the slower sections are very slow and covered in clumps of bind weed. Winkled one out though.

Wow, she was hard going today!!! An old favourite and pretty local to me .... Temperature dipped stream, reading 13 degrees ... Twas only really the pools that I targeted with tiny dries....
Tough fishing ... in the Elan outflow for a couple of days this week that'll be good, usually some decent fish futher down its short journey before it meets the Wye. Dont forget the Claerwen river is fun too folks... not for the faint hearted, its mountain goat stuff, but bursting with small pretty brownies.... great fun too !!!
Anyway, dry fly tactics as always... and to be honest its all you can use, average depth must be eight inches, if that ... cold though, do thats a bonus !!!

Managed five, all from pool heads .. lovely savage takes too ..... Another two were on and off, a very brief contact..

I fished from eleven till half two ...A chilled but I suppose frustrating session... The Edw seems gloomy and lifeless when she's so low ... oh well, Afon Elan, Claerwen and mountain llyns later this week ....ohhhhhhh and rain next week.... Hallelujah!!!!!!
