Fished Abercynrig on Monday and returned for an afternoon on the Dinas beat. Was sunny with a mild upstream breeze. Approach taken today was targeting the odd rising trout on a dry fly (Adams) . 1 Trout caught and released. Many missed - need to sharpen my hooks !

There was a hatch for 30min, so we managed 4 trout on a dry.

10am  bright, warm and sunny day with a light upstream breeze. Water very clear but not on it's bones. No insects coming off and no rising fish.
Walked to the bottom of the beat and cast out a dry LDO. It was taken immediately, sadly the fish came off. A similar occurence happened about half an hour later. Following that a fish came up to inspect my fly and was not impressed. It was now getting towards noon. I decided to have an early lunch.
Walked along the remainder of the beat. Odd fish were rising but not in numbers. A small but steady stream of LDO's were now floating downstream but the numbers of rising fish remained low. By 3pm the rises were very few and far between.
I decided to call it a day with a total of 2 fish to the net and 4 lost.
A pleasant day but no cigar.

Very good fishing in challenging conditions - river down to its bare bones and little cloud cover. Sporadic trickle hatches of LDO brought a few fish to the surface and some good dry fly sport was had. Best fish 18” with several around 13-14”.

First time in a river this year! Beautiful warm day, river very clear. 2 small trout (6"-8") returned in good condition. First one taken on a Black Pennell and the second on a PTN Hares Ear. No risings seen, small occasional hatches. A lovely day for fishing though.
