Decided on the lovely little Clywedog Brook again today.... 15 degrees when I parked up at half ten .... lots of sedge on the go and olives ... yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss !! Lol .....
Usual small streams outfit for here ....I think its surgically part of my hand now ..... ha ha ha !!
Anyway, great sport, lots of in and out here at the mo ......and fallen trees and debris....where I got a cast out, good Savage takes to my Para Grernwells , lovely job .... feisty hard as nails brownies ....love it !!! Eleven made it to the net, a few long range releases, as expected..... well, long range here is six yards or less !!!! Ha ha !!!
Kingfisher up abd down three times, just a joy to see ...fantastic.... think the otter had been active on the side of one of the pools , fresh pooh and lots of prints and water on pebbles ......
I got out at the Elan Valley pipes at just gone two .... a really pleasant few hours, after a day guiding on Claerwen Reservoir yesterday.... everything always seems closed in and Lilliputian, after the massive nature of the Elenydd ......
A fun few hours dry fly sport as always, in a blissfully quiet little valley, happy days.....

Very quiet session in the morning, perhaps caused by the stained water after the recent rainfall. We did find a few trout and decent sized grayling in good numbers, in the afternoon. Mainly caught on peeping caddis and beaded nymph patterns.

6 Trout, 16 Grayling, 1 Other

Lovely bit of River ....blanked

Bright sun and coloured water. Slow start to the morning but picked up around midday. Plenty of grayling coming to beaded flies. Trout were small with one larger fish ~1 lb.

4 Trout, 5 Grayling

2 anglers, we fished various swims all along the fishery throughout the day.

1 Barbel, 10 Chub

Not a bite all day. I guess the fish were not hungry unlike me.

Nothing caught but a salmon showing in top of gravel catch and rock pool.

A lovely stretch, with some delightful trotting water. River with reasonable flow and fairly clear. A bright sunny day for the most part, only occasional clouds. Trotted meat baits, with a centrepin all day. Tried runs at the top of the beat, lower down (opposite the pylon) and at the bottom (just above the confluence). Most chub were around 1lb, a couple touching 2lbs, and one fish around 3lbs. Sadly no barbel.

13 Chub

Only one angler fished today. Water carrying only slight colour after recent rain. Good access to lower half of the beat but ran out of time exploring top half. Lots of fallen trees making progress up the stream difficult in places.
8 wbt on gold bead nymph and 2 parachute adams, with a couple of long range releases and a few missed splashy rises. 4 fish in the 10-11 inch range with the rest around 6 inches. Great fun on the 4wt 6.5 ft rod.
