Fished from between the two bridges, water perfectly clear. The few fish I saw were very spooky and almost impossible to approach in the seriously overgrown stream. Clambering over numerous downed trees of substantial size and battling through undergrowth, but very few places to make a half decent presentation by any means.

Bit more overcast than previous day in the morning and a few fish rising but still struggled to get any interest. Tried everything again and managed to tempt 1 Trout approx 8 inches to an Olive Dun off the top in the early evening.

Wont be beaten we will be back to try again.

Quiet day. Fun was watching the sand martens doing their high speed aerobatics. Saw an Osprey doing a leisurely fly past. Three salmon showing on beat 4 in different spots. A bit too bright & hot really.
Thanks to all concerned.

evening after salmon, very fishy looking but nothing seen or caught. Big rise of trout though might come up tomorrow night with my mate

Nothing doing on the nymph, but I eventually got three good trout of 14-15 inches, after much changing of fly, on a size 16 Comparadun (tiny yellow stonefly emergers?) and size 14 Adams in the evening, when there was a fair rise. No grayling - wonder why...

Pitched the van at Ryhdywernen camp site about halfway along the beat ( really great camp site btw , right next to the river too with lovely river music at night/morning too !) in the evening and had a quick skip up the river from there for a look see.
Fairly skinny water mostly but some small pools here and there and these had a decent number of fish in them sipping at spinners.
Had a quick go at a few but I wasnt really in the groove yet for these turbocharged risers.
Great to see and access up there pretty good mostly I thought.
Impressive numbers of bugs in the rocks, all the usual suspects and the water and within looked fab.
