A few hours spent covering spookey trout on a breezy river before the journey home. One broken rod, one broken wading stick , one dunking and one 9/10 inch wbt. Oh it's great to be back ! Lol !

Three caught, 17, 12 and 12 inches. First caught on a PTN below a dry fly. The other two caught on a dark olive dry fly. There was a sparse hatch late morning that lasted from about 11am till 1pm, with trout rising to these for about 30 mins. The river is in good form.

I was hoping for a March Brown hatch in the top pool but that was'nt to be. This part of the river is still quiet with just a few olives and the odd MB coming off down on the flats. The rises I did see I covered with a dry fly and hooked up, three to 15" in the net and a larger acrobat who cartwheeled off. I had to confront two Merthyr lads who were spinning, I explained about how the foundation works and politley made sure that they stopped fishing. All fish returned.

Good day but no fly. All fish on nymphs

One decent 16" trout landed and two others pricked. Like yesterday (Abercynrig) river very low, rises were sporadic and hard to cover in clear conditions and downstream wind. Tried everything but I was found to be lacking. Sometimes reasonable hatches but fish largely ignored top of water. Caught on a copper beaded dark nymph with no name from fast water. One seriously fat fish and the river and wildlife were beautiful.
