First time on the town water beat. Plenty of water to go at but a horrible strong cold north wind made fishing challenging today. Still managed a couple of trout, the biggest about 1lb on a nymph, the smaller fish on a sedge.

Bonkers weather today. Sun, Rain, Sleet, Hail, Wind and more WIND. Fishing was hard due to the cold. Tried nymphing ... Upstream, down and across, euro nymph. A couple of missed pulls between the two of us. One small wbt to the next on silver beaded oyster Shetland spindrift slayer. No other fish seen. Kingfishers, skylarks provided pockets of entertainment. Very grateful to have brought pork pies and hot tea to the river bank.

One caught on a Silver Surfer dry fly and two on a March Brown wet. Huge March Brown hatches at times. Lovely to be out on the water whilst the sun was shining. A bit too cold when it wasn't!

Full on grannom hatch for a couple of hours despite a cold downstream wind, managed to miss the majority of fish or have a brief on/off but ended with three for the day which was a great result considering the conditions.

A strong and cold wind made this very tough to fish. There was a very good hatch of LDOs with one or two risers. Our fish came to dries and spiders. I lost a cracker at the net. Just a note to say that access to this beat is pretty awful.

Fishing Passport Note : The new fishery owner has put plans in place to improve the access.

Nothing caught. Nothing seen.

Cold, misty start with a bit of wind about, so not loads happening early on. Started off fishing nymphs through the deeper runs and picked up 1 brown on an olive nymph. As the day went on there was a bit of a hatch coming off, so switched over to a grey dry (not 100% on the pattern but it was close to what was coming off) and that did the trick.

Finished up with 3 trout and 1 grayling taking the dry once they started looking up.

Nothing hectic, but a really enjoyable session and good to see a bit of surface activity later on ?

Stayed in Hut in Llanbadarn Fynydd - Airbnb - parking @ Severn Arms hotel for this stretch was a 20 min drive.

Beat fished right through. Tube fly and a bit of spinning on the lower catches. Nothing seen, but there were a number of cormorants fishing today.
