Fished from 3pm till sunset. Caught 12 between 5"-10". Half were on Klinkhammer and the rest on PTN. Water was low but clear.

Warm day, overcast and occasionally threatening rain, but brightened up in the afternoon. Fished 11-3pm, taking my time and enjoying a peaceful day. One of those strange days where fish were rising reasonably regularly, but nothing was hatching and I couldn't tell what they were feeding on. I went through most of the fly box but no fly got more than one take.
5 trout from 5"-10" caught on olive klinkhammer, PTN, grey klinkhammer, copper john and a miscellaneous red nymph.
The vegetation is making casting trickier and a couple of pools are now pretty much impossible to cover, but still enough room for a pleasant day out.

6 x trout 6-12 inches, 16 Rusty Klinkhammer and 12 Monnow Gosling. A quick nip up the brook late on a warm Sunday afternoon. Not too much hatching or rising, but I did see one mayfly dun and one spinner, so something must be about to start and the last fish of the day came up to a big fly. The best two were 11 and 12 inches, which is not bad for this little stream.

Stream unfishable , running fast due to torrential rain over previous days and water very muddy.Did not attempt to fish.

Stream low and clear, so tough going. Casting tricky in many places due to plant and tree cover (8ft 3wt was a little long). Found best tactic was to find a fishy looking place with space for a back cast and wait for rises. A lot of junk in the stream (old tyres, fence panels etc), but lots of fish. Good fun and a rewarding challenge (missed as many as caught). Hawthorn, iron dunn and black ant (all small) all worked well.
Look forward to returning soon.

A lovely days fishing on a challenging little stream. Water was low but clear, a few rising early on, one beauty succumbed to a royal wulf the rest all on grhe nymphs. A total of 9 wbt ranging from 4" -9" and quite a few missed. All in lovely condition.

8 x trout 6-8 inches on Rusty Klinkhammer size 16. Plus one salmon smolt, all silvered up ready to go to sea...once there is a bit of water to wash it down. Quite difficult today with cold temperatures overnight and the river very low and clear.

Nice morning spent on the river. 2 WBT caught on black Klinkhammer, 1X6inch, 1X9inch, missed another two. Not a lot of activity but an early hatch meant some fish rising.
