Only had morning which was shared with many dogs swimming for sticks ( and in one case my line !) and people paddling. But hey it was a sunny sunday in a popular location !.
Decent hatch ( olives ? ) but few rises possibly due to disturbance. Could have been productive later in the day.

I’d have been better off with a kite. Did see a few nice looking trout near the pipe bridge and one just by the park/bridge. I think the mornings are still a bit too cold. I’ll be back though lovely bit of water and very accessible

Arrived late in afternoon from London. Managed to get my foul casting back to par. Couple of rises but nothing to trouble the scorers.

Nice beat with plenty of fish to have a go at. A little rusty but managed a couple of small browns fishing a dry upstream in a relatively short session. This beat is sometimes a little busy with members of the public and dog walkers, but still very pleasant none the less. Will definitely return!

LDO CDC dun, BWO Para dun, Pale Watery Para dun, Baetis Nymph. A steady trickle of LDO's from 12-2.30pm saw fish rising and the majority of fish came to a CDC dun imitation.

No fish caught. Did see some fishing rising for around 10 minutes around mid-day but that was about it. Also say a salmon jump under the pipe bridge. A few guys from the Merthyr club were also fishing the beat and had a chat about tactics. Will definitely return when slightly warmer and a not so cold easterly wind.

5 x trout 12-16 inches, Bastard Adams, March Brown Duck's Dun. A lunchtime session only, but an interesting one. A cold grey morning had given way to patches of sunshine. A few grannom around, but a trickle of large dark olives gave way to a couple of brief but intense March brown hatches. There may have been more but I had to leave at 2.30. Amazing number of fish moving. Missed a lot of fish today and I'm afraid to record that I broke off in a couple. Incidentally the management here tell me that no stocking has been done this spring and none is planned. What are being caught at the moment are either wild fish or grown on from stocking in previous years.
