Spent circa 4hours on a very full river, very pleasant but no fish. Plenty of canoes around.

Fishing in my t-shirt for the afternoon, who would have thought so in Oct. Not a salmon seen or touched though. My first year salmon fishing though so the learning curve is steep. As ever a really nice stretch with some quality runs. Lots of scouting done for next time. Did catch 6 trout though, one had me wondering for a second or two.

Excellent afternoon's fishing on a positively balmy indian Summer day with temperatures hovering around the 28/29 degree centigrade mark - perfect conditions with no wind although very clear and slow running water.
Perhaps too hot and too many insects around as there were a whole host of very lazy rises until late in the evening, but unfortunately nothing interested in my butcher fly - although did see a couple of Heron and Kingfishers flying along the river.

River in great nick, very clean and a really great commune with nature.

Nasty downstream wind. No fly No rises. 3wbt, all small. 2 dace,and 2 salmon parr. All on nymphs.

Troublesome wind, not much fly, not many rising fish. Two trout, 8" and 10". Also a dace. I parked by the river, about 100 heifers licked my car. Had to move.

Water low and clear with a strong downstream wind. CJK had 3 undersized trout from the fast water of the rapids on a goldhead hares ear nymph and invicta. JW was fishless.

Incredibly low water for April and thus lower Llangoed very easy to fish. Early fish on a variety of nymphs and then a sporadic rise from early afternoon onwards saw plenty of offers on emergers / surface film flies. Because I don't fish rivers often a small foam beetle seemed to fit the bill - at least the fish thought so.

Upper Llangoed saw a few chub but the rapids and below is where the trout were. Saw a few early Mayfly but only 1 or 2 so of no fish consequence. Lovely day, 13 fish to 12".

5 Trout. 4 grayling, 1 Salmon Parr mostly on PTN, a few others hooked and lost. All in the 8" to 10" range. No fish retained. Very enjoyable on a very peaceful beat. Despite the lack of flow in the long gutter up from the water works, a small hatch brought many fish to the surface for a short time around mid afternoon.

V hot and sunny. Not many rises. Two trout 9" each. One grayling 10" on nymph.

Glorious autumn day, but alas no sign of any Salmon. Still, managed two Grayling, one on an Ally's Shrimp and the other on a Silver Stoat! Saw Kingfishers, Dippers, Herons, Buzzards and Mergansers. I could always take up birdwatching!
