Beautiful stretch of river. Biofilm on the base of the river likely from catchment nutrient enrichment/pollution. Nonetheless, some lovely trout around. Best landed 2.5lb. Several other fish missed.

A windy day which made casting tough. Good size graying caught on an Olive emerger and a small brown caught on a hares ear nymph.

It felt like December rather than April with ant wind to add to the pain

Fished for 3 hours. No action at all

Another odd sort of day weather wise !!! Cool, with an easterly breeze .....Dire for thr big lakes in the Cwm Elan !! Thr sun put in sn appearance ftom.11 ish today...... Again cool till about two .
The Ithons sitting at a nice level ...0.182 was the last time I looked at it ... Perfect tbh !!@
Dry fly sport was fun between 1:45 and 2:30, with s good flurry of olives between that window. The trout quickly switched on , with splashy activity on most of the decent pools.....
Five trout to the net, another long range released one also, and, one really decent grayling. The trout were the usual stamp, seven to eleven inches, with the fighting fit, quickly released lady, being about 16 or 17 inches ...All, took a dry, three to risers, the remainder, tight at the pool heads, in the creases.....The Grayling certainly put a good bend in my six foot two weght rod, cracking stuff !!!
A fun session here, but a frustrating down stream wind. When it picked up, I packed up, and mooched back across the fields to my truck....A perfect early season dry fly sortie !!!! Lovely job .....

Access at the top of the beat was restricted by padlocked access gate- I spoke to Alyson in the office about this.
The beat map shows a clear foot access path from the top going downstream- I could not find it as it appears to be completely overgrown? Somewhat spoiled the days fishing

Llanstephan gauge around 1’5 today, 12.3C and clearing. The Llangoed fish on the weekend raised the hope that there might be a few fish in the beat, but nothing seen, not even a rising trout.
