A water temp of 5.4c meant that it was highly unlikely that we would find feeding barbel so we fished small
maggot feeders and after moving swims eventually found a shoal of chub that were obliging. 8 fish (two +5lb)

Too cold for barbel so instead dug out the pike rods and had some limited success with ledgered deadbaits. 3 pike to +14lb plus

3 Pike, 1 Other

A very hard day on Craig Llyn fishing today but managed to get my first wild brown trout of the season on a dry during a nice hatch of olives.

Thank you to Shaun and Rachel for the invite to God's country

There were plenty of accessible swims as the water level was low. The water was very clear so I spent most of my time in the deeper swims. Annoyingly lost a decent Barbel to a snag first cast of the day, but after that had 7 chub, the largest of which was just over 5lb. All fish caught using feeder and either pellet or meat on the hook/hair. The penultimate chub was lucky to escape an attack from a large pike as I was netting it. Lovely beat on an amazing river.

A big thank you to Joe and Gordon for showing me the beats loving the fishing.

Very chilly start to the season with seven layers of clothing being worn at one point. A few trout rising to a good March Brown hatch in the middle of the day. A reasonable flow and safe wading. I opted to go after salmon which narrowed my chances considerably but still a good day although my feet think otherwise.

Nothing seen, nothing caught.
