Tried to access upper part of beat without success. Got about as far as sheepcote before bankside became impassable. Possibly it is accessible via road? So spent a pleasant few evening hours fishing island stream which is easily fish able in low water. Caught 3 trout, 1 on a dry, 1 on spiders and another on nymph. Clouds of insect life above river. Fish rising but picky. Lots of holidaymakers in river at Boatside. Will have to come back to try and find a way to the top of the beat!

A lovely remote stream at Pandy. A successful few hours fishing and around 2pm May flies started emerging and I could see fish taking them. This provided an opportunity and I caught 3 WBT around 10 inches long with many more refusals, takes were hard and fast. All caught on a May fly Duns size 12

Lovely day with all fish caught in quicker water or closer to bank under overhanging trees. Could have done with more water and more flow.

Better fishing than Lloyd onn

Great fun - mostly smaller fish (6 inches) but the best trout was about 12 inches. All taken on dry flies in faster water or near the weed beds halfway down the beat. Will be back again!

As before on this beat I found consistently rising fish in just one pool, one of which succumbed to my mayfly. Otherwise a quiet (and perhaps too bright) afternoon until something large, agricultural and rather brutal arrived late in the day and set to clearing a strip along the banks. Stayed until sundown in the hope of more surface activity. There was a fall of small spinners and the occasional spent mayfly drifting past, but the temperature dropped and the trout stayed out of sight, except for a large one that nearly swam into my legs not far below the bridge.

Take your bug spray if fishing in to the evening!
