Great morning on a great beat till families started showing up and swimming in the deeper pools but tbh I was done by then and who am I to deny them a swim on a warm day. Seen at least 15 - 20 rises is various areas but tucked way underneath low hanging branches. Found a nice deep pool with good rises every 2-3 mins so offered them a size 20 parachute Adams and got two 8-10” brownies then another later on with the same fly.

Weather hot and sunny 30 °c
Water temp was 24 °c
Only fished the afternoon on account of the hot conditions
Saw plenty of carp cruising around and not lethargic either but they wasn't feeding
Caught 2 nice bream down by the Oak tree tho
And at sunset as the light faded i had a screaming run and hooked a beautiful common carp in excellent condition a real long lean fish of around 17lbs
Didn't even get it on the bank it was unhooked in the net and despite a great fight it absolutely shot off giving me a soaking too
One of my favourite locations to fish
I will be back !

River quite low at dent bank and the fish were in pockets. Dry flies pulled them up, with a couple of the total a very decent size. Better when there is a little rain a couple of days before though.

Another hot and bright day, but water temperature ok (about 16 C) and the fish prepared to rise opportunistically. 6 grayling to 14", and 3 trout to 12", on owner Shaun's generic dry/emerger (14) and mainly on Euro-nymph. I'm sure I could have caught a lot more on the latter if I'd been competent.

3 Trout, 6 Grayling

Another great day with slightly cooler weather a few hatches coming off in the day but having to switch between dries and nymphs constantly to make the most of the opportunities that presented themselves. A big thanks to Sean and Rachel for operating a great couple of beats and welcoming me to the river. With Shaun joining me, trout up to 2lb and best grayling over 50cm on the day all fish returned

Upper section of Afon Ogwen fished with no luck. Late in the day fishing to avoid the bright and hot weather. In the small pools in Ogwen Falls had a take on a black/green beetle but never managed to set the hook. The section in the valley was hard to fish due to access.
