5 Trout

Five smalll trout caught and released all 4-10 inches during fishing from 10.30 to 5pm. Two taken on a pheasant tail nymph and 3 on a small dark caddis. Water very, very low and clear but with some dense algal mats covering the bottom (and any nymph presented) in some places. Fished all day and only saw 4 or 5 rises, with very few insects coming off the water. Took a walk along the Wye at Builth one evening and only saw one rise in an hour too. Sad times for our rivers.

No catch

Only able to fish from 11am to 3pm with no fish caught. Tried several methods. Adjacent angler had some success with CDC emerger.

Turned up at the cracking pull in at half eight reading 10 degrees in my truck ....its a lovely panoramic view on the walk down the valley to the little Llynfi Dulas at the bottom ...

Initially this morning a single weighted baetis nymph working the likely pools and actually was the first pool ... bang ... heck of an aggressive take!! Lovely stuff ....

Had another four on the nymph then saw two good rises so on with a small tan klinkhammer ... had another three to the dry ... most satisfying early season trout to the dry fly ... and two of the takes were definitely wanted by the trout too!!! Definitely on the look out for food on the surface now ! All three were prospected casting fish , happy with that !

Only fished three hours up to the deep junction pool , were another little brook comes in ... called it a day at twenty to twelve ... a cracking few hours sport .. been a slow start on the Wild streams mainly due to low water ... this one is holding a bit .. did see an otter very briefly too way up in a straight glide , and nice to see a pair of mandarin ducks ... stunning birds !!!!!

No real issues with obstacles that I can remember down there .... water is still cold and under the stones here is a plethora of caddis and various nymphs... Great to see ....

A lovely few hours and eight beauties brought to hand .... this one's certainly woken up !! Happy days !! !!

Conditions were not ideal - very low water, and a cool east wind - but it was great to be back on the Usk. Caught one trout of about ½lb on downstrem nymph, and saw one other rise.
