A hot afternoon at Abbey Dore.
Just a couple of hours.
Didn't see a fish rise, but managed to winkle a few out on a small ptn.
Accompanied by rifle firecfrom the adjacent range, and a few low level passes from a helicopter.

We were expecting rain .... it had rained, and it kept raining. The Rheidol was up 2ft and a torrent at Hermitage and Llanbadarn - we decided not to fish either there or the Ystwyth. Although clarity wasnt bad the river was still rising. The alternative was to head up to the lakes behind Penrhyncoch although the clouds looked socked in on the mountains - and sure enough when we got up there about 2pm we were in the clouds - and off t'internet. But by 3pm things were brightening up so we drove back down the hill as far as was needed to get a momentary signal to phone the office and book the fishing - thanks Shannon in the office. Fishing was typical Syfydrhin ... fish in the margins and fish cruising up wind lanes. Second cast my fly drifted in to a bay to be walloped by a lovely pounder .... and 4 more followed between us. We fished for about 4 hours and were content with the action - until we got back down the hill and on to t'internet again. All afternoon the folks at Aberystwyth Angling had been trying to contact us - thanks folks! - to tell us where we needed to fish on the river. Another rod had a salmon, 6 sewin and two brownies off the Rheidol! We should have stuck to plan A.... ah well next week perhaps!
