A lovely warm and sunny day on the lower section of the Breconshire Fishery. The river had fallen considerably over the last week and was clear and easy to wade, with no wind blowing to spoil my cast. A perfect day for the kingfisher, the yellow wagtails - and the cormorant. I started fishing at 10am with a team of spiders - without any luck - and, deciding that I did not want to use nymphs, swapped over to a dry fly rod ready for the hoped for mid-day hatch. Unfortunately, there was no apparent hatch, although the odd LDO and March Brown flew by. Three of four fish splashed the surface, but did not appear in the same place again. I assumed they were chasing nymphs, but I spent the rest of the day wading up to the middle section of the beat, prospecting with various Olive and March Brown dry flies, with virtually no success, apart from one little trout that felt sorry for me. Two other fishers had joined me that morning in the lower section of the river and I think their total tally was one trout between them on a nymph. It was that kind of day - a lovely day for trying to catch fish, if not such a great day for actually catching them.

No fish today. A beautiful location. Sadly virtually no fish to see. Probably the weather

A fabulous day due to a good hatch of March Brown around midday. A two pounder closely followed by a three pounder - both in very good condition. After about 2pm the fish want into hiding - didn't see another one all afternoon.
