No fish

All jobs nailed early bells, so decided on a wild stream ..... With the weather looking a tad windy and rainy the next few days, thought a slow mooch on a Sunday up a favourite beat would be just the ticket !!! Clywedog Brook it was then......... Save the larger wild waters of the Elan Valley/ Nant-y-moch for Monday and Tuesday with clients !!!
Strewth she's low, not sure as I saw different wader sole prints in the mud in various places, we shall see on Monday, when the last few days catch returns are submitted and on display !!! Very slow going on the bottom half, wether Tarka had been on the go, I'm not sure, but wowser, tricky stuff!!!! Low and very clear too ...... A few days rain muchly needed .....
It perked up half way up the beat, when I started at eleven, plenty of insects on the go, but I guess in fairness trout will be wising up a bit on this beat now !!! I did fancy a mooch up the Cammarch, another of my favourites, but that's still of limits .... Crayfish lockdown still implemented!!! Still bemused why some are fishable and others closed ..... still ours is not to reason why as they say !!!
Good dry fly sport over five slow hours, did up past the weir, not far, managed seven beauties to the net, along with a few self released kind souls !!! Great fun as always, tight up in the fast water .... ohhhh and two surprises in the deeper pools, came out from nowhere and hammered my dry, lovely stuff... lots of squirrels munching the early hazelnuts and more and more leaves in the river now !!! Clocks ticking folks !! A fun Sunday, back home and a bottle of Westons Cider !!!! Happy days ......

Only good thing about today was the weather not even a bite you seriously need to up the stocking of fish .

I'm a beginner and this was my first time on this beat. There was a good push of water through the deeper pools. I fished a floating short spey line with an intermediate polyleader. Water temp was 18 degrees. A brisk downstream wind meant I was having to double spey off my left shoulder which was horrible! ( But it was good practice)
I fished a 10 then a 12 Silver Stoat. No joy!
I saw a few trout rising but no sign of any Salmon.

12lbs fish from the Cafn pool on a small Cascade.

1 Salmon

Very tricky conditions, sunny, low water and downstream wind. Had a 14" trout on a nymph, and a couple of smaller fish at last light. Spinner fall at 7:30pm, couldn't work out for the life of us what they were eating - quite frustrating! Some days you think that you have the game worked out, not today...
