Broke one nice fish off on a wet fly. A good amount of late morning surface activity but no obvious hatch at least to my eyes. I could not get a rise to a dry fly of any kind. A bit breezy and cool.

Two trout taken on nymphs in the faster glides. Nice hatch at around 11.30 had fish rising. Numerous takes ,unfortunately none to the net.All in all a lovely day on the river.

Changeable weather today, cloudy, sunny and a few showers with light winds.

Difficult fishing though, not takers on any kind of nymph, but a hatch around 1pm brought the fish to the surface. Unfortunately we couldn't get them to take anything, despite trying many different flies.

As we walked back to the car we both tried casting dries into likely looking areas. This was how I managed to fluke a 10 inch fish.

Not sure why it was so difficult when this is such a productive beat?

Great day fishing on a lovely beat with very good access. Short hatch in the afternoon which got the fish rising after a morning of nymph fishing.

Fishing wet flies in the morning then switched to upstream nymphing in the afternoon. Had a couple of bites and one nice fish hooked which shook off a barbless peeping caddis.

Very enjoyable. 9c with drizzle and brisk upstream wind. No rise or fly until 2’30 so fished nymphs. Caught 3 late morning above lower boundary. Then moved to upper boundary and had good dry fly fishing for 1.5 hours and caught 3 more on parachute adams.

Blanked. Very cold. No hatches

River in perfect condition (Brecon gauge at 10"). Bright and sunny all day - but cold. Intermittent chilly breeze from NE. Steady dribble of olives emerging over the day with occasional brief hatches. Martins switched on to them very quickly but not the trout. Hardly saw any rises all day. Persevered with nymphs until 15:30 but retired defeated.
