11 x trout 6-10 inches, Monnow Gosling. The mayfly is up, so big flies are in fashion again for a while. Some of the small fish have trouble grabbing onto a size 10, but they are certainly trying.

Few fish rising but no takes, lots of debris in the water and plenty to snag on. I tried a parachute for most of the beat then swapping to a killer bug, but no interest from the fish. Any fish that were there were easily spooked. Lovely stream to fish and I’ll be back another day just not my luck today.

Loads of fly activity, fish showing and a few takes, but no fish landed, water level considerably lower than a month ago, but loads of debris from the floods.

6 x trout 6-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Much better weather and this low altitude stream is starting to warm up now although the level is pretty low.

I snuck away from work for an hour on the water and arrived at 10am in beautiful sunshine. Imagine my dismay when, after getting my waders on, I realised I'd forgotten my reel...
I didn't have time to go home and come back so improvised by looping a couple of furled leaders together and tying off on the reel seat. It worked, after a fashion, but meant I was fishing with limited range and had to use a heavy nymph to turn the line over. I ran the fly through most of the deeper pools and turned up one lovely trout about 9". A really great way to start the day.
Casting was definitely harder with my unorthodox set up, but some very gentle pruning of the odd overhanging branch would be very useful.

5 small brown trout caught between 13:30 and 17:40. Caught using Royal Coachman Dry fly or GB Prince Nymph. Plenty of nibbles over the whole beat. River low and fairly clear. Lost a big one in the middle of the beat, next to where the bank is held with stones in a metal cage.
