1 Salmon

Silver hen fish around 12lb. from Llangoed pool taken on size 4 gold bladed Mepps plus two trout, largest a 2lb. fish both on same spinner as salmon. All three fish caught mid -morning within half hour period and all swam off strongly when returned. Slight colour to water and a real push to the flow but the level seemed steady whilst I was there.

1 Salmon, 2 Trout

A hot day with the water low and llangoed pool very green. Unfortunately there was a large family swimming/picnicking, for most of the day in the uppper section of the beat so I gave that a miss. Salmon were active in llangoed pool but the trout didn't seem very interested in the fly hatches so I ended up fishing the bottom of the beat by the sewage works. There were big hatches of grannon and lots of trout rising down there towards the end of the day. I caught 8 from 10-16 inches on a black para dry. I did notice that there seemed to be an unusual amount of lice and leeches on all of the fish and wandered if this had to do with the weather and water height or if the sewage works had some part to play, because all the fish were clustered round the outlets.
WUF Note: Freshwater lice (Argulus foliaceus) are commonly seen on fish at this time of year and especially when water flows have been low.

8 Trout

Fished the lower section of beat from water works up say 1/4 of a mile. All trout were fat full of mayfly averaging 10-14 inches, the grayling was a wee fella of 6 inches and the other 6 were shad all about 15 inches. Wish i had of booked a salmon ticket as there were 4 in the one long glide showing themselves every now and then one of which was a high twenty pounder slightly coloured .

8 Trout, 1 Grayling, 6 Other

5 grayling to 12", 4 trout to 10"' one salmon parr. Tried a variety of dry flies but no takers so switched to nymphs with fish coming to GRHE, beadhead ptn and red tag. Nice to see a salmon heading upstream and a brief glimpse of an otter.
