Tough day on the river. Brief hatch at 14:00 brought a few fish to the surface. Nymphing in faster water later in the afternoon brought one trout to the net which was released.

Managed to catch one nice trout between us on an olive quill CDC, casting to rising trout. Had a few more on nymphs that didn’t reach the net. I noticed significantly more algae present in the river compared to my last visit to this stretch a few weeks ago, is this a sign of a problem?

First cloudy day for ages; cold wind dropped but air temp still only 11C. River low and needs a refresh; algae is building and the shallows are getting slippery. All quiet until around 3pm when there was a quick hatch of olives. Two fish in short order on BWO.

A beautiful sunny day with a strong breeze at times. Guided by Oliver Burch and most fish caught on parachute adams or similar. Fish rising between 12noon and 3pm and ranged between 1/2 and 2lbs. A thoroughly enjoyable day ably assisted by OB.

Saw 3 rises all day. No luck. Very bright and low water

Fished to top of Abercynrig and the bottom of Dinas. Epic days fishing. Very stiff cold up stream breeze, fishing not rising despite a steady hatch from around midday, they did however show great interest in my fly.

All fish in the 2LB range which was remarkable, the benefits of being left alone for a year or a recent stocking ?

Fishing Passport Note : No stocking takes place on the Dinas fishery

Hard fishing
Nothing at all today

Fished Abercynrig on Monday and returned for an afternoon on the Dinas beat. Was sunny with a mild upstream breeze. Approach taken today was targeting the odd rising trout on a dry fly (Adams) . 1 Trout caught and released. Many missed - need to sharpen my hooks !
