Stunning morning. Fish were rising but weren’t terribly interested! Fished with a variety of wets, dries and nymphs. Most rises were close to the dam wall.

Dry fly very hard with wind and rain but lovely beat.

4 fish. 1 proper one!
Difficult conditions windy and wet. Water low. Insects sparse. Tough day.

Water levels high making bank fishing limited to select areas. But managed to catch 7 fish on far bank wading out

Only fished for a few hours, had 5 trout all on dries. Medium olives and yellow emergers working well. Not ideal conditions, very low and windy.

Lost a sizable fish which will keep me awake tonight.

Fished 10.30-4.00,river low even after some recent rain, occasional drizzle and chilly. Fish came steadily from mid way to the bottom of the beat. Dolmeudwy is a bit of a precarious wade now in the low water and increasingly slippery conditions. You never feel that you are far from a fateful slip there ,and as there are going to be thousands and thousands of silver tourists flooding into Tweed next week, the last thing I wanted was a broken wrist, which despite a couple of stumbles ,was avoided.
Hardly saw a fish rise today, nothing caught on the top, and nearly all fish taking various nymphs, Rang the changes with the dropper but only a few caught on a Partridge and Orange and, surprisingly, didn’t hook any OOS Grayling. Lost count of the number of small 6-7”trout today, probably 20+ along with 3 or 4 around 9”to 10”. An evening rise wasn’t likely with the conditions, so an earlier finish than I had intended.

Me and my son could not cast a fly in the 40 mile an hour winds, and were ill equipped for the amount of rain when trying to fish with worm, we WILL be back, after seeing others catches in the reports, and the mill pond like water in the photos compared to the stormy sea we faced, we WILL be back, it is a beautiful place.
