Hadn't fished Creggy for about a month, so, an early one was done on this old favourite ....half eight till half eleven .....
Reading 21 even when I parked ip at 8:15am !!! Was going to be another toastie one !!!!
Low and clear, with wading like Neil Armstong on the moon !!! The fish were quite happy to smash a well presented dry, in the streamy stuff ...
I temperature dipped the river when I started at bang on half eight ...Reading 13.5 degrees....I was good to go !!!!
Lovely aggressive hits in the pool heads today, and i only fished up to Glan Edw farm then cut out inti the field, where that heat really hits you after been under the cool canopy of those long glides .....
Eight to my net, the usual stamp for Creggy ....And, three more that did their Houdini impressions at long range !!!
A fun session, nice to see the dippers so active, but was saddened to see , near the bottom of the beat, the farmer on the other side of the river has dumped a huge load of brash over his stock fencing, into the river ... nearly filling what was a lovely trouty pool, where the stream joins the Edw ....Shame, and very thoughtless to be honest....I'll email Allyson with my photos ....
Otherwise another three hours in paradise... happy days!!! Back here when its had a drop of rain......

Fished the evening for chub And Barbel
Fished the fast water anf below.
No bites.

If you fancy the long walk it has plenty of chub to offer.
The occasional barbel will come through.
50+ chub

1 Barbel, 50 Chub

too hot to fish

Hot day fished early and late .
Barbel on rolled meat and pellet PVA bag .
All fish caught in the faster water .
Hard to find at the moment as a quarter of the beat is impossible to fish due to the management of the bank on the stretch between Foy bridge and St Mary’s great shame there looks some great areas to explore.

3 Barbel, 6 Chub

Fantastic fishing again on this beat. The bottom half is just sublime in summer, with many large fish. Caught a fish of 2lb and another of 3lb with careful stalking on dries. Doesn’t get much better.

One smaller fish did have quite a few fish lice

Nice to be out solo today ....A none guiding day, so what and where to go ...The little Clywedog , its shaded, stays lovely and cool, even on a smokin hot day !!!
Dipped it first thing after half nine, water temp reading 13.5 degrees ...Happy with that !!!
The dry fly sport was pretty good, in the riffley fast stuff ...Nothing big today, just wee chaps that fancied a terrestrial casualty !!!! Great fun as always .....
I only fished up to the Elan Pipes ....Lots of recent otter prints seen, and was nice to see lots of kingfisher activity as is the norm here ....
Think I'll try one more shaded stream tommorrow, then it'll be the Elan outflow for me, till it cools down again ...
A fun session, on one of my favourite beats.... will be back here sooooooooon !!!!! Lovely job ....
