Bowled up at an old favourite at just gone midday ... a nice bit of warmth too, reading twelve degrees in my truck ... river at a lovely height but she was holding some colour, only a touch but nice too see ... perfect ....
Today i was with my trustee six foot two weight I'd had cracking days on Nantymoch and Craig Goch just recently so was lovely being back on the small streams ... with this mega lightweight rig ..... bliss !
Fished a Parachute Greenwells and Iron Blue this afternoon ... five to the net ..and one clonker that didn't make it .... they are looking up at last !! Although they didn't switch on till half one this afternoon .... was superb playing an Edw trout on my favourite Rod ..... cracking stuff !!strewth it's tight with fallen trees and debris here now .... it has its advantages .... protects young trout and houses invertebrates and all manner of aquatic life in fairness ..... Saw the kingfisher .. what a joy too ...they always seem to do well here, generally every visit last year nearly always saw at least one fleeting kingfisher !!!!
Shall give a mountain stream a bash tommoz but had a fun three hours this afternoon , the Edw valley in Spring..... totally sublime.... I worked up quite a thirst so I think a well earned pint of the Amber nectar is called for at The Crown...... cheers folks!!!

Two trout taken on nymphs in the faster glides. Nice hatch at around 11.30 had fish rising. Numerous takes ,unfortunately none to the net.All in all a lovely day on the river.

The river looked superb , but very little fly life, fished hard for 3hrs, covering a lot of the river ,I saw no fish, weather cloudy but not cold, after lunch I changed from nymphs to dry's as the temperature had risen, Bingo 1 small trout caught & released, on a 16 Adam's,
On my way back, I did see some fish rising but by now I was too wacked out,
Enjoyable, but exhausting.

Two salmon lost. One to the net. Mill Pool. Top of Gravel catch inder the copper beech. Low to mid "teens"
Room for improvement!

Three fish hooked, but all lost close to the net. One of those days. Nice beat. Lots of different pools, riffles, runs and features.

Hour in the evening, no sign of any fish

Survived the assault course. Mainly nymphing up to footbridge. Water at good height & clear. Not a fin seen, but dippers were busy & bluebells out.

Arrived at about 9am to a nice South Easterly wind blowing from the far end of the lake to the boat house. Weather during the day was dry with intermittent cloud cover with the occasional fish rising. Around 35 fish landed between the 2 of us with a couple of fish in the 10 to 12 inch size. Fish mainly caught on Black Bibio Hopper, Silver Invicta and Black Pearly Nymph.

Great first day out of the new trout season.

35 Trout

Mix of bright sun and cloud with a fair breeze. Water clear. Not much going on in terms of rises despite a bit of bug life. 1 10" brownie returned and just 1 more bite. Chicken tikka made a nice lunch. Would have liked to stay longer to see if things got busier. Lovely day to be out and about.
