Water level perfect. Nothing caught until 14.00 when there was a moderate March Brown hatch which trickled ion all afternoon with fish very active on the surface in some spots. We caught 12 between us with several fish over 1 lb but none as large as 2 lb. Most caught on March Brown dun or emerger imitations and 3 on nymphs (during the hatch). Nice water, lovely day

Did not fish not water

The Brecon webcam gauge was at 1.5 and the water pretty clear. A fairly sparse hatch of LDOs had a few fish rising. They were very picky and took some emergers. The hatch stopped pretty quickly and most fish were taken on spiders after that. A lovely day on the river.

Sporadic hatches of olives encouraged the odd rising fish . The two brown trout caught and returned were well over a pound in perfect condition . Heavy rain stopped play .

Given the weather forecast, I abandoned my plans to fish the last day of the season. Conditions looked perfect: overcast, a gentle breeze and the river freshened up by a little recent rain. No sign of any fly hatch so fished the fast oxygenated runs at the bottom of the beat with a PTN. Did nothing. The reason became apparent when Mr Lutra Lutra popped his head up right in front of me. Moved up above the bridge where a steady hatch of olives and iron blues (?) occurred from around 13:00 to 15:00. Persevered with dry fly imitations even though very few rises were showing. Switched back to nymphing when the hatch ended but finished with a blank day. Sums up the 2022 season for me!

Showery day. Cooler breeze later on. Only 8" but strikingly patterned and in great 'nick'. Fell to the mighty PTN. Cheered by the site of a king fisher streaking downstream. Returned the nod from an industrious dipper. Fished hard, turned two larger
fish. Narrowly avoided a blank on my last day of the trout season.

River very low but a good flow through sections. Bright sun and clear water didn’t help. I was joined by a pair of otters for the duration of my stay but I did manage to land two large brown trout.
