Didn’t arrive till lunch time but despite the nice weather it didn’t look liked we’d missed much in terms of fishing. The water was pushing through at a fair speed (we hadn’t checked the gauge the night before) and finding the fish was not easy. The most productive place was in front of the hut where the water was calmer. Managed to get 7 between us by the end of the day. As with recent trips the fly life increased in the evening but stopped again pretty quickly when the temperature dropped.

We will be off the Towy tomorrow abut looking at the weather for next week getting another trip in before the season finishes might be a struggle. Even if we do it’ll be dads turn to pay so last report for me for the season. Thanks to the WUF and land owners for making it possible to fish and enjoy the countryside. Already counting the days till March….

No fish caught but plagued with bites from crayfish using worm as bait. Gave up in the end. Bright conditions with blustery winds. Temperature around 19 degrees

Another session on a favourite, really fancied the Arrow, but had the update from Allyson , the NRW will review these closed rivers and the crayfish situation in a couple of weeks ...... conveniently coinciding with the close of trout Season.!!!
Anyway warm earlier today, only had a quick four hours, as bunny bashing on a local farm heading back to Leominster later on .....freezers getting low on venison, rabbit and pigeon, so a top up is needed !!!!! Lol .....
Great dry fly sport, again!! Saw those two chappies had a good day here on Sunday.... probably duo tactics I should imagine .... Their report was somewhat brief !!! And a two pounder .... good fish for there !!! I still love the finesse of my single dry fly ...The accuracy and precision of it .... Fourteen made it to my net, usual stamp for here, Savage lovely takes, only four to risers, .... various tiny size twenty f flies, also initially emergers, then Para dries after one o clock .... A couple of better fish on and off during my session too!!! Doooooooooh .....
As I said quite a bit warmer earlier today.... lots of olives on the go from half eleven .... lovely stuff ... River at 0.104m on the gauge, perfect dry fly height !!
Right, that's me, time to get the .22 Anshcutz ready for laters, bunny bagging exercise !!! Cold drink time my thinks !! Maybe the Duhonw later in the week .... is anyone else going to be adventurous and fish Pontithel ....come on guys !!!! Lol ......
