Another fun session on a local beat . Warmer today with not that annoying easterly wind .... Just nice, and the fish responded well too !!!
I think the air temp got up to 17 ish .... very pleasant indeed . A really nice mooch upstream, on the top section, just sublime, with fish looking up from half twelve. Plenty of olives on the go today, cracking stuff !!!!
Seven wee chaps, between seven and eleven inches, just super fun on the dries .....
Tis noticeably lower here than a few days ago, and, that slimy algae starting to form on rocks.....All of them!! Might be worth sending one of the WUF HABITAT TEAM up there, do some water testing etc etc.... It certainly doesn't look particularly healthy in fairness!!! Two goosanders seen ... bloody things , and right where i wanted to place a dry too !!!!!
I saw two on the town stretch of the Wye early bells the other morning !!! These birds are forever on the increase, like comorants !!! Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
Anyway still some really fun sport, back home, water the garden, top the pond up, and a nice cold bottle of Thatchers cider ..... Happy Days !!!!!

On the water at 10 am, beautiful sunny day, water gin clear, didn’t hold out much hope a mass of fly activity but not one fish seen never mind a rise, a really difficult beat when the water is so clear, lots of promising looking lies but no joy

Bright sunny day, no hatches of fly. River clear

No luck. Only a couple of fish showing. But not interested.
Another angler showed up twice to fish from the other bank. Said merthyr club access, which isn't correct - see early april catch report. River too deep to cross so the fellow has his story and look of innocence well prepared.
Beat owner may want to know.

Saw one salmon all day pretty dire fishing. Lovely place though.

Not ideal conditions today with the nagging easterly and cloudless skies. Though after a slow start ,with surprisingly few offers before 1.00pm, things picked up in the afternoon.
Most of the trout came to top dropper medium olive wets.
Fished right to the lower boundary, but didn’t encroach onto the beat below as I inadvertently did last time out.
Apologies to the Llangoed owner. Note to Self. Read the beat map updates in future.
