Had written off fishing on a very hot day, but a late shower settled things down and a few rises seen from the bridge changed my mind. I fished a single feather cdc mayfly of my own and the fish came up for it without any hesitation. I managed 4 lovely browns biggest 35cms before the light faded.

River v low. No fish.

My last foray for a few days !!!! Opted for one of my favourites , the Clywedog brook , again !!! lol …
I arrived at the brook at half seven, reasonably cool then,. My fishing today went on up past the weir about a hundred yards…. Had plenty of sport by then in fairness . Great fun on the dries again , with a sneaky, very very slow wade upstream …..Good takes on my Iron Blue and Greenwells, superb stuff.
Lots of insects on the go from eight ish, with fish looking up then too … Also plenty of horse flies, why is it they always want to land on you when you’re concentrating watching your dry fly come down a trouty run !!!! I dip tested the water temp with my thermometer, reading13 degrees under the canopy , lovely job ….
Seems like the pending thunderstorms due tommorrow are causing quite a stir, even chatting about it on the radio on my short journey from Rhayader to the Clywedog brook …. Jeeeeeeeez, British folks and the weather hey …lol !!!!
Good sport again here, with careful slow wading, managed a dozen to my net , maybe one or two more, on my usual tiny dries, great takes too, and a few of them risers today also … great fun ! The usual stamp for here, with one cracker of eleven inches. Three more self released themselves, so polite of them !!!!! They’re always feisty little strong fish here to be honest …. Superb stuff !!!
Tis noticeable when you. One out from the stream , from under the canopy , that heat hits you like a brick, quite literally ….When I returned to my truck, the dash temp was reading 27 degrees…. I was like a camel at a watering hole, supping my cold Diet Coke from my cool bag… absolute bliss, much needed.
A fun few hours again ….. got out at half one, a total buzz of four or five days solid on the streams, loved it ….. Would be nice if we do get a drop of rain tommorrow, these rivers need it now…. Lovely job !!! Home time and something cold and amber coloured in a pint glass I think !!!! Topper !!!!
