Very good to be back out on the rather lovely Lynfi and looking just great in the spring sunshine. No mayfly yet that I saw but where a few olives and stoneflies popping off here and there and enough to keep the fish looking up and the old tried and trusted para' Adams in a 16 did the job very well as usual.
The fish where all in fabulous condition, plump and all punched more than well above their size. It seemed to me the average fish size was up this season, apart from a couple of 6 inchers the rest where up around the 9 to 11inch mark . Could be some very interesting fishing late summer , hope so!
Lots of the other smaller fish bumped off and a good few of the larger chaps still too.
Good numbers of fry observed. Hopefully trout.
I find by experience that its the top approx 1/3 of the beat to the boundary that fishes the best and a fantastic stretch to fish . Once your in the water up by Tregunter farm you can wade up all the way to the boundary in low/lowish water and its riffle,run, pool sequence all the way and more than a good few hours worth at least doing the heron walk.
Looking forward to when the mayflies up . That will be even more fun.!
Many thanks again WUF.

Spent the morning with Adam Fisher, a guide based in Ross. I wanted to learn a bit more about watercraft and the holding areas of the fish. He put me in amongst them and I pulled out a sizable wild brown followed by a smaller offering that took the klink and dink method practically at my feet.
Later that day after Adam had left I put all of my new knowledge to task and caught the best fish of the day on the Island run. A very interesting beat, with a school of barbel and spawning lampreys spotted from the bridge.
If like me you have struggled to catch and need to know a few secrets of the river, I recommend sourcing a guide for a half day or more. Could make all the difference next time.

River low. Trout small and returned.

Two 5lb fish of the top on drys in a short 3 hour session. Some anglers up to 15 C&R limit all on dry fly. This must be one of the best top of water fisheries in South Wales.

Not quite the nirvana of yesterday as a combination of angler predetermination (to try out mad prototype flies) and a stiffer cold breeze made for harder yards. Yet, still had a lovely 5 to 16+ inches. Many thanks.
