Nothing caught but a beautiful beat.

Beat 5. River at an ideal height and clear, rose perhaps 2" during the day. Fished through beautifully- even Locksters pool could be covered with the fly. Plenty of trout activity on Yellow Mays and the odd Mayfly. 2 fish showed. One draw on the reel but nothing on the lift (how do they do that?). 4 wbt and 2 Shad. A fantastic days fishing but-no Salmon!

Nil return.The river was quite murky and probably still a bit too high. I did provoke one salmon into jumping in the Maddox as dusk was falling but no luck. A few fish showed throughout the day.

Fishing beat with 3 friends. Huge expanse of water after the day before on Escley. River dropping during the day but challenging wading in parts - great care and a stick needed. Only 2 fish - 1 WBT and 1 Grayling. Hatching (and rising) sporadic and in tune with the wind..

No fish caught or seen all day. Nice upland stream though in a nice picturesque valley. Fish must be in there somewhere!

High water but running good colour. No fish caught or seen. Heavy canoe traffic in my defense. Thank you WUF.

4 brown trout in total. No fish taken. Caught on Goldhead, Pheasant Tail Nymph, Klinkhammer,Coch Y Bhonddu.
Great days fishing and stunning scenery - real value for money.

Started early at 8am and fished through until around 1.30pm.
Water was still very cold, which may explain why we only caught 1 small WBT between us. There was sporadic rises to the odd mayfly, but again due to cold temperatures even they are not up to large populations yet. Excellent beat though and can see the potential for catching lots in the right conditions.

River looked good and even saw a fish, so must put down failure to ineptitude on my part..... getting seriously fed up with failure now!!
On a brighter note, there was a good mayfly hatch (despite overcast conditions and cold wind), and I suspect some decent trout were on the move most of the afternoon, particularly on the wooded bank of Vanstone.

Cold and overcast. Nil catch.
