Really good day, with a good rise of trout in the afternoon. Unfortunately no fish due to my lack of finesse, but a very good day on a lovely beat.

Rather quiet day, with high water and just a few grannoms about and little rise. Cool westerly breeze didn't help. French nymphing was fairly successful, but nothing over 12 inches. Couldn't get to the island, where normally one would skip across in gumboots, though I tried!

River high and coloured but clearing with reasonable visibility.
Good hatch of granom caddis from around 10 am with fish rising in the slacker water. Also saw a few large dark coloured stonefly adults on the water and a couple of what looked like brook duns coming off.
Fished dry to risers. Undoubtedly, the most beautiful looking trout I have ever seen. Blue on the gill plates with a blue sheen on the flanks and heavily spotted. Largest fish about 15 inches, all catch and release. My first time fishing in Wales was a wonderful day at a lovely venue.

Unfortunately the rain from the previous evening brought the river up very fast. I arrived at the river at 8.30 am and it was rising , very coloured and full of floating debris. I had a quick go with a flying c but way too much debris floating downstream. I'm not sure if Greenbank has a wash off policy but it would be nice if it has.

Heavy rain, very muddy. Hard going

Managed to catch 1 good sized trout with nymph, and 2 smaller trout in some of the upstream sections. Weather was direct sunshine so fish were not rising.

Always seems to be a hot sunny day when I come here, and today was no exception. River was nice and full, so very different to previous visit.
Intermittent downstream wind.
All caught on nymphs. First 2 fish were lovely, holding in shallow water.

Good river flow. A lovely beat with a variety of conditions. Few rises, mostly nymphing techniques used. Couple of lost fish - none landed. Cattle in field very inquisitive - enclosure very useful to protect cars.
