Nice fish on dry large dark olive emerger pattern. In the fast water near the bench.

The river was clear but still a tad high. Quite a few grannom around, a good localised March Brown hatch and a small number of LDOs. The fish were pretty fussy with no adult flies being taken, just emergers and they weren’t really on them. We ended the day with 6 fish between us, the best at around 2.5lbs. We lost a few fish too. A lovely beat and if the water was maybe 6 inches lower it would’ve been perfect. A very enjoyable day and lovely to see the resident otter come over to take a look at what we were doing.

The weather was perfect for once, but the water level was 18" up all day, so Dan Y Parc was a bit featureless, and no wading across. But I found a riffle near the right hand bank in or near the Six Oaks pool, where the trout were taking well-sunk nymphs. Caught two, including one of about 2½lbs which was very hard to bring to net in the heavy water. Hooked but lost 3 or 4 more. Plenty of flies in the air and on the water, but I didn't see a single rise from 10.30 to 3.30.

Water still very fast and high, had a few casts but decided to move up to a wild stream soon after. A very close encounter with an otter the highlight!

Weather too extreme!

Plenty of promising water but no fish for me today. Most of the beat is easy to access from right bank except for the bottom bit which I couldn't get to. This bit looked like easier access from left bank but I ran out of time to explore. River a little high but falling and clearing nicely. Bit of an easterly breeze. No visible fly life or rising fish.

Good water, but no salmon seen or encountered. The trout were not afraid to take on the big fly...
