1 1/2 lb trout on a hackled wet pheasant tail and 1 1lb trout on a heavy nymph

8 degrees this morning, much warmer than the hard frosts from the two nights before. River very low and clear. Weather dry and overcast. No action all day. Saw one fish upstream of the bridge which promptly spooked as my flies drifted passed. Sheep very chatty. First time on a wild stream, so lack of success probably due to a combination of challenging conditions and inexperience.

A fun but cool session this morning ..... lovely to be out after quite a major op two weeks ago !! Overcast and breezy when i parked up at half eight at the Whittern Bridge pull in ..... opted for old Faithfull, my six foot two weight and a tiny tungsten flashback PTN ... always works well here early season .....

Lots of new features to this beat , although as always park at the first bridge walk roadside to the second , get in and wade up about three hundred yards passed the second .... makes it easy then to bimble back down the field to my truck !! As I said ,.new features and new trees down from the violent storms .... not to awkward at the mo but summer growth may cause an issue for some ....

Fish as usual here early season hard to locate.... but eventually found the first abd second in deep water ! Surprisingly sharp aggressive hits to the nymph top !! Nice to get a bend in the rod though !! Last fish was under the second bridge I the deep water ... nice ten inch brownie ... excellent !!! No more action after that ... abd slipped out into the field before that prominent acute left upstream bend in the river ... a nice mooch back and a pleasant cuppa from the flask.... Happy days !!!! Up to Claerwen Reservoir on Thursday see if the brownies are ready to party up on the Elenydd ..... lovely job ....

River was running clear and at a nice height to access all the main pools (0.42 on the Ross gauge). One salmon seen but no fish caught.

Superb hen salmon from Hom Pil on the Weirend beat of Ross Angling Club waters for Trevor Hyde. The bright silver fish measured just short of 40 inch about 24lb and fell to a red and silver flying C. Fish took just over 20 minutes to land and was the first fish on Ross waters this year.
