Sneaked 45 minutes on the brook at lunchtime - my first time here this season and it has changed dramatically with the wet winter! Only ventured as far as the end of the first field. No rises seen and no hatch evident - 6 trout 6-9" all took a goldbead GRHE - on at least 3 occasions almost as soon as it hit the water though...

Had a few hours on the Llynfi today, water levels up and running fast, clarity ok for nymphing. thought I was gonna be on for a blinder as 2nd cast one of twelve inches to hand then another within a cast or two of ten inches then not a touch for half an hour. then it was mayhem for thirty minutes with six more around twelve inches. again it went quiet for thirty minutes then it kicked off again and had five more in this period two six-eight inches one twelve inches and two stonkers, one of eighteen inches and one of twenty two inches. All taking 2.5mm black beadhead baetis nymphs in the fast water. There were a lot of LDOs on the water but only two rises spotted in the time I was there

Nothing doing until midday ...sparse and short hatches of olives....no rising fish.....4 trout 8-13" all on Greenwells and Adams at the tails of the pools.
Nice to have a bit of sun!

2 foot and falling -clearing
fished beautifully, but no sign of a salmon

A beautiful beat. Not a fish seen. Waded full length from 1400 to 1730. water clear as gin. Bottom mix of silt and shale and very wadeable for juniors. 6 or more major trees fallen across swim. Overhead canopy forces side casting throughout but water made up of multiple riffles, glides and holding pools and it was a wondrous afternoon requiring much bending and exiting and re entering of the river.

Two 1.5-2lb rainbows, first caught on a Diawl bach, second on a Loch Ordie on the bob. Both caught on the north bank. Will be back again.

Beautiful day but the waters still a bit cold. I saw no rises all day and only two upwings. I couldn't tempt a fish with a heavy nymph or a dry fly.

The day started off very well with 10 fish to the net and a few dropped in the first two hours on upstream nymphs. Then an early lunch waiting for the much anticipated olive hatch. The hatch happened as expected, but the fish just didn't respond. Only a handful of fish seen rising throughout, but none taken. Can't put my finger on it as there could've been many reasons why the fish were reluctant to rise. One more fish on nymphs finished of our day. Lovely day to be on the water even with a few hairy moments whilst deep wading as the water was a bit higher than I have experienced on this beat. Will be back again with the warmer weather and lower flow.

A lovely couple of hours but very challenging conditions with high water and high winds.

Water was high and pushing through after rain, and coupled with bright sunlight and a harsh downstream wind made conditions a little hard. Managed 2 WBT taken on a GRHE fished through faster water at the Bridge end of the beat.
