Tried fishing, very hot but not feeling well, only fished a short time

Three of us fished using the french nymph method and with success on the faster runs and tails into pools. The majority of fish were caught in and just downstream of the large pool on the main bend of the beat. The river clinches after the bend and provides a long run down the left bank which produced a large number of hard fighting brown tout and 2 salmon parr of about 15 to 20cm. Our largest brown trout was about 35cm and was very dark in colour. Caught from the deep section of the ledge below the bend.

One each for myself and TH. Short lunch time session. Both on heavy nymphs and french leader. A few olives starting to come off when we left, but not a single rise to be seen.

4 x trout 6-14 inches, Dark Moorgame. A few quite quickly on spiders early on which seemed encouraging, but a very cold wind arose which seemed to kill the river. Nothing seen hatching - left early afternoon.

10 x trout 10-14 inches, March Brown Jingler and various spiders. A mild day, turning to rain later, but river still pretty high at 1ft 4 inches. There were several intense but very short-lived March brown hatches after lunch, with a lot of fish rising. I seemed to miss a lot of fish today but some of the regular anglers did very well. I'm hearing about salmon catches right up here at Brecon, which is early for so high on the river. They certainly have had the running water.
