Reasonable conditions at around 2’ on the gauge with a bit of colour, but an air temp that barely got above 4 degreesC all day and a river temp of 9.5 degrees. Perhaps not conducive to tempting an early runner if there are any up here. Fished all day but the downstream breeze didn’t make casting brass or copper tubes and heavy tips easy.
It’s a rare event for me to kill a fish but a couple of trout of 11/2 to 2lb whacked a tube hard today and were hooked well down in the rakers so were destined for the pot.

All fish caught on nymphs and all around the 1lb mark. First time here and fished the middle part of the beat. The bottom end was to deep given the water levels. Hatch of flies around 1.30pm but rises were sporadic. Will come back to explore the top half of the beat.

Caught by Jack Allen over from Canada with a broken wrist in a cast, a borrowed rod and only a pair of wellies: all from by Clettwr Brook. Proof that you don't need all the gear if you know what you are doing! Jack was taught to fish by his grandfather, Bob Browning, who bought Ty Newydd in 1983.

19 x trout 8 - 15 inches, mostly on spiders, Waterhen Bloa and Hare's Lug and Plover. Last 4 fish on dries on a pool tail during an LDO hatch, Stuart Jarvis' Bastard Adams and Olive Jingler. Water high but clear. March browns elsewhere on the beat apparently.

Fished top end where stream enters lake, cold conditions, however a few fish rising, managed to get one to take but not landed.
