No fish caught, few visible, couldn't tempt a take from the few rises I came across.

I had been pondering the fish I was playing with last week on this beat, so decided to try and find it again… and that I did! Conditions largely the same although slightly more cloud cover, fish held up in the same deep spot, with sporadic lively rises, patience, and perseverance paid off. Caught on a grey duster. Good 1lbs + Brownie ~14inch. Quick picture before I sent it back on its way.

River very low, plenty of fish rising as Mayfly stated hatching. Missed and lost a few unfortunately left most dry flies at home in my other bag.

Warm day, cloudy with sunny intervals, slight upstream north easterly wind. A nice day on the dry flies at Skenfrith, didn't fish much of the beat as I found fish rising in a short stretch for the best part of the day. Lots of fly life on the water including, dragonflies and damsels. At around 6pm there was a hatch of mayfly, which really brought the fish on to feed.

I seem to be having problems converting dry fly takes into fish in the net this year, I missed/lost far more than I caught.
