3 trout caught on size 16 bibio and 18 snipe and purple. Lost five. There were heaps of fish feeding, but unfortunately they were preoccupied with caenis.

20lbs cock (36.5").
Fresh, small disease mark on back behind dorsal fin
Gromain, Leaning Willow tail
2" tube fly, yellow and red

Fished Glan-y-Cafn today, plenty of trout about, brother had a dozen or so, mainly on goldhead grhe's fished on a Tenkara rod (1st time out). Didn't see (or contact) any salmon. Couldn't make most of the beat as the water was too high to wade (above chesties) and the tree canopy making casting even a 13 ft rod difficult.

Will be back when about 10" on the Glan Usk gauge.

Caught one brown trout and lost another within a a minute or two. Both took a weighted heptagenid nymph. This was the only activity I saw all day. The water was still a bit coloured after recent heavy rain. There was a lot of woody debris both higher on the banks and in the stream as well as a lot of plastic detritus, mostly agricultural in origin - old feed/fertiliser bags etc. All too common on British rivers I am afraid. Farmers custodians of the countryside - I don't think so. Quite a lot of insect life -Hawthorn flies, black gnats, Iron Blues?

2 brown trout about 1/2lb each, taken on gold head and blue dun. River very clear. Lost nice grayling about a pound.
Beautiful river and setting. Will be back during the hopefully warmer summer months.

I trout 9" returned, 1 graying 6" returned. Water was high and the weather was cool.

Stayed at The Croft B & B at Lyonshall which was excellent.
Unfortunately the river was in spate and had to use rover tckets to fish the upper Wye and Irfon.

No fish caught, river may have been a little high for wading.

Sadly no fishing as the river was very high and running fast and dirty....shame as it looks a great beat.
