Nothing rising, fished nymphs and caught one and lost three. Nice beat.

The beat was beautiful, the water was crystal clear and there was glorious sunshine, unfortunately the fish did not appreciate the weather as much as I did. Didn't see any fish all day (11am-5pm) managed too hook two small trout and land one out of a deep hole just past a small waterfall on a pheasant tail nymph. There were no notable hatches but there were lots of stoneflies scurrying about the rocks outside the rivers but none were quite ready to fly. Would recommend and will return next time I come to Wales.

Turned into Very hot day though it took a while for the air temperature to rise.

Water was still very cold though there was the odd fly coming off throughout the day but the bright sunshine and clear, low water meant any fish we saw rise soon ran away when we fished for them. Managed to get two in the end, one on the Ginger jingler that had saved us a blank at Penpont on the last trip out, but with that fly ending up in a tree it was a little grey parachute that caught the second fish late in the day as we started to retreat to the car.

A difficult day but still great to be back outside after the long winter being stuck indoors. The river could do with some rain though.

Fly fishing with early season spiders . Cold condition 4C at 9am . Minimal fly life . No fish moving . Perhaps fishing after 12 would have been better . Great location . Using what 3 words might be an option in the future for beat locations Good map but could have pool identification on the beat.

A few large fish seen at the bottom of deep pools probably feeding on caddis on the rocks. Very bright. Fished from 3-5pm. A couple of rising fish seen in very slow water, but not having any of it. More flow would have helped. Eutrophication evident on the bed of the river some distance downstream of the STW due to low flow and phosphate in the discharge causing algal growth.

River swelling due to rain. Still clear but running faster as day progressed. A few risers but no takers. Hatching of blue dun.

Length : 16 inches.
Very few hatches, so few rises....
2 others lost.
All on the dry fly.
Best regards.
