Strewth, nice to have a bit of warmth today, in fact almost balmy when I was kitting up at ten bells by the bridge ..... makes a nice change from a few days ago !!! Looked a my truck dash, 16 degrees .... ohhhhh we're positively spoilt today !!!
The little Clywedog was low low low !!! And clear as gin .... Tricky stuff ... very tricky in fact, but still fun... tricky conditions keep you sharp I always think, and mother nature let's you know who's the gaffer !!!lol..
Managed eight to the net, over a slow four hour wade upstream, sizes the usual for here seven to eleven inches .... one cracker slipped my hook by a well know pool I always manage to snaffle one out of .... The perfect honey hole you could call it !!! Anyway, after the doom and gloom of the election, Tarka brightened things up .... fifteen yards away ... I stood stock still.... didn't even blink ... would have made a fantastic photo, he looked at me twice,the air was still, so I imagined he couldn't scent me !! Talk about splashing around I nearly felt like saying I need to teach you some rivers etiquette boy !!!! Ha ha ... eventually he snorted and was off like a shot, fantastic ....Friday feeling back, all is good in the world.... A few lovely brownies, an otter close up, kingfishers up and down , on a favourite, shrunken brook ......Back to The Ponderosa and I'm ready for an early weekend beverage !!! Cheers !!!

Grabbed a couple of hours late morning, consistent rises throughout and generated interest with the sixth pattern attempt. The population of fish in the Wye and Usk does seem very healthy at the moment which is encouraging
