Had a quick hour on the run below the Railway Bridge after helping Eifion and Geoff to pick over a thousand Himalayan Balsam between us. One sewin flashed a tail halfway down the run but wasn't interested in my fly. Loads of small trout rising again. A lovely way to spend the last couple of hours of light.

Absolutely loads of small trout surface activity from 8pm until 10pm and in a short 20mins with the 4WT trout rod, caught 9 brownies klink and dinking between 5 and 10 inches and missed/lost twice as many, fishing barbless.
Broke the sewin kit out at last light and moved to the pool between the main beat parking and Crewil. In the gloom I could see a few fish splashing down stream of me. They weren't of any size, 2-4lbs but I think they were running as I had a 2 sharp tugs but they didn't stick. Maybe if I wasn't fishing barbless they might have!
No one else around. Lovely evening though on a lovely beat.

2 nice brown trout. River quiet probably due to low conditions. Lovely water though.

2 Trout

x1 brown trout around 6 inches, x2 around half a pound and x1 around 3/4 pound. Left around 9.30pm. Fish caught on black gnat, teal blue and silver and mayfly pattern. A lot of brown trout activity. Heard that Junction pool downriver was fishing well a couple of weeks ago so hopefully there are some sewin on their way through.
Hoping to get back down later this week.

Dry fly - black ant and mayfly. River low and calm winds. Hot and sunny weather. Fish caught ranging from 6"-10", all released.

This was a new beat for me - nice to be able to get it on a WUF ticket. Excellent access, by Welsh sea trout fishing standards; the main beat car park is practically in the river by the Railway Bridge pool. River extremely low and air temperature stayed hot almost till dawn. Not an easy night, although some very good fish showed. One modest sewin of about 2 pounds on a Weapon of Mass Destruction (somebody had to come up with a fly with that name) fished deep and late.

Quiet night, some large fish showed but no pulls. Water was clear and perfect for the fly, I did however see a big fish cruising between pools with its back making a wake! I threw every thing I had at it but no joy. It wasn't put off by my wading and it kept my spirits up knowing that there are fish there.

Some fish moving but no offers or takes. Fished Crewil Pool, good instructions on how to find the beat.

Fly fished - fish moving but no takes.

Really good that this fishing is now available online as I don't have to catch the Post Office in the village before 5.30pm. I can just go straight from work to the river.
Arrived an hour or so before last light and focused mainly in the flats directly below Crewil pool as I know of a few lies along there. Had several bumps and knocks off sewin throughout the night before hooking into a feisty fish around 3.30am which I initially thought was a sewin but ended up being a stunning 3lb brownie!
There was a very big sewin showing below me at last light, around 16lbs jumping clear of the water. Well done A, the other anglers who caught a 12lber, returned and x2 5lbers caught above me on Crewil.
Something for anglers to note - 1 ticket covers you for 24hrs, first light to first light. I didn't read the instructions and booked 2 tickets to cover me for night fishing. WUF kindly refunded me my second ticket.
A great evening, even if a lamprey did wrap itself around my leg briefly!
