An afternoon session at the lovely River Cammarch ... lower beat . Warm and pleasant when I tackled up, reading 17 degrees on my truck dash .... parked up by the now dilapidated old shed and walked down at one ... looking a picture with just a very slight tinge but sat at a lovely workable height for dries ....
There were a lot of insects on the go in the afternoon including large Brook duns , saw some hawthorns and olives too ....nice to see two paired up mandarin ducks saw some here last year, maybe the ground is good for their nest burrows ...... Anyway the fishing this afternoon was fun fun fun.!!! Stealthy wading needed here as its clear with glides too... I fished a Para Greenwells the whole beat and didn't loose it either ..... fab sport, nine made it to the net with also some long range releases ....sizes from five to ten inches . They always go banzai here when hooked ... Great fun !!! Pretty little brownies here too .......
They can really surprise you when prospecting your dry here ... and smash it when you least expect it ! A good few cast to risers and the other half prospecting in trouty places ..... a really fun but casually slow four and half hour mooch ..... loved it .. I'll be back here soon .... near for me now I'm only in Rhayader too ..... Happy days !!! Ohhhh and there's one bottle of Speckled Hen still in the fridge tops off a grand day .....sorted !

Fished up stream from the bridge this afternoon.
One or two riser’s seen but didn’t seem to want a dry so fished Tenkara and fish taking just under the surface.

Missed a few takes nymphing, hooked two and landed one. No fish rising. Beautiful beat.

River in fine shape, fisherman less so. Lower end of beat blocked by fallen trees

2 * 8oz brown
1 * 2lb rainbow

Spoilt because of litter left by night fishing groups.

Team who checked my ticket picked up what they could carry but rubbish everywhere including toilet roll and used barbeques. I pulled meters of mono out of the water and bushes.

This reservoir supplies Swansea with water and the rubbish and waste left is a hazard to wildlife and will increase processing costs and therefore water bills.

Not sure what can be done but some form of enforcement needs to happen and heavy fines and kit confiscations enforced.

Weather mixed, sunshine early in the day with light winds and cloudy with a stiff breeze on the afternoon. River looking good at a reasonable level.

We struggled today, nothing on nymphs and only the occasional rise to the dry. My fishing partner MB did the best today taking 3 to my 1, mostly taken on a hopper type fly.

Plenty of big brownies within eyeshot but couldn't persuade them to take. Quite a few large signal crayfish seen up near Rock Pool

One bite at 09:15:but nothing else all day. Really disappointed.
