Well, after that horrible intense heat, was lovely heading out today ....
I was up at sparrows fart anyway, sorting the garden and getting some nice cold water put into the pond....
Fished 10 till 2pm .... A lovely , surprising session to be honest !!! First thing to get done ....Temperature dipping, of the water...She was very low, but sitting at a very reasonable 14.5 degrees C ..... Happy with that!!!
Fished dries, as always....Great fun, and, fish prepared to nail the flies today too. I'm sure its the cooler conditions have brought them on !!! A few insects about too, and several lovely sightings of the kingfisher ......... Watched one nail a minnow too ....just superb !!!
The fish were of the usual stamp for here, seven to nine or ten inches maybe ....Great fun ...I cut out two pools after the Elan Pipes....I always think thats just about right then ...And, some good dry fly sport too, with nine to my net....Can't fault that !!@
Back home and a well earned cold can of Inchs cider me thinks ....Round of a cracking sunday !!! Out on the Afon Elan later in the week with a client ... Might venture over to an Usk tributary mid week, give one of those a bash ...

River down behind the rec in pontardawe, I had plenty of follows but no catches there. Too many people bringing their dogs to jump in the river when trying to fish.
River alongside the trebanos rfc rugby field did a couple hours down the river, nothing

Nothing caught ?

River looked lovely, it’s a lovely stretch. Sadly only Eels were biting today, but we’ll be back.

Lovely to get back here , few changes nice to see the lock been redone . Very tricky conditions and a couple steep pegs didn’t help but nothing interested few takes on dry fly which luckily left the fly gear in , nothing on bait . Top swim footpath almost gone very narrow . Unfortunately other people fishing on opposite bank on dug out steps messed up my plans on fishing at very top of beat .
