One lovely grayling and a small trout on a small nymph. Bright sunny day, warm for the time of year. The river was crystal clear and apparently empty of fish, but I managed to winkle a couple out with persistence. Really nice beat. I've fished the Abby Dore Court beat a few times and that's lovely too, but this has more fishable water for its length. I'll fish it again. Me and the dog went home tired and happy.

A day of glorious weather! Really did feel like spring although no-one told the fish. We are always keen to get our first session in and the weather forecast certainly encouraged us. A few olives hatching but not a single fish seen moving - the river is low and the sun was bright. By 5pm we were back at the bridge by the house so walked up from there and after a day of fruitlessly matching the hatch all day Jim tied on a ginger Jingler. First cast in to the fast water … wallop! A lovely 15” trout. Saved the blank!

A beautiful day to the immersed in the Welsh spring. The river was too low to be at its best and very bright. Some March browns hatching, but the trout didn’t react. A few fish rising sporadically to large dark olives. 1 nice trout of around a pound caught and returned.

A few large fish seen at the bottom of deep pools probably feeding on caddis on the rocks. Very bright. Fished from 3-5pm. A couple of rising fish seen in very slow water, but not having any of it. More flow would have helped. Eutrophication evident on the bed of the river some distance downstream of the STW due to low flow and phosphate in the discharge causing algal growth.

Early season is not worth fishing the higher lakes.

Not the best start, wind was a bit all over the place, tried most of the usual wets but not even a tug. Did see a couple caught by someone else.

Decent hatch of march browns, LDOs and brook duns from 11am for a bit. Though no fish hit the surface.
