No cigar!

Fantastic mornings fishing whilst scouting the river for an evening sea trout session.

Caught 5 beautiful browns on various dry sedge/caddis patters. Lost a nice sea trout too (on a self tied black winged fly #6 long shanked hook)

Night was a total washout, very gusty winds and heavy rain made night casting nearly impossible. Great to be out on the river hung it a good go tho.

This was my first time fishing these waters and I will absolutely be back!

A comedy of errors, lost flies, lost fish, taking a dip in the Dee but fun was had and fish were caught. Gambled on the weather and lucked out with only a 20 minute deluge around lunchtime. River running higher and with pace, so care needed when wading, especially in the town stretch - at least I can confirm the auto inflate on my life jacket works.....cold water, surprise and embarrassment as I took a tumble.

Top end of the beat not as productive as lower down, seemed to attract smaller trout although lost a decent grayling at the bottom end. Explored the lower part of Ddol Issa beat, lovely stretch. Parking at farm but don't forget to pick up a tag at the top of the driveway, where there is a book and tags in the box by the gate. Finished at Bont Bridge run, access from south bank very limited but some good spots accessible from the path on north bank. Felt very fishy, plenty of grayling, lost a cracker at the top of the pool, needed a brief time out to console myself as my droopy bottom lip was impacting my casting!

Ended on a high, getting a good grayling to take a dry - a "barbie" adams, in bright pink! Hadn't seen a rise all day so proves it is always worth a change of tactics.

3 Trout, 7 Grayling

Very difficult to fish from the bank and couldn't find any safe way down to the waters edge due to slight restricted mobility. River was very muddy due to the rain but we still enjoyed the day
