Fish for a couple of hours in late afternoon. Caught 3 smallish rising trout in first 15 mins on a size 18 grey duster, then saw nothing more.

A blazing hot day and very low water but plenty of fish rising. Caught all mine on klinkhammers and balloon caddis. Saw some large grayling and a couple of very large trout. Looking forward to returning to this beat.

Very warm bright day, began just after midday, started at the lower end of the beat, small little riffle and pool with some deepish flowing water. Spotted some rises and immediately got into an 8" and 13" using a DF spider pattern. That was it for the next few hundred yards as the river widens and becomes very shallow and slow. Saw a few fish but very spooky. Further up found some nice riffles and pools and a few fish were rising again. I then caught on 4 fish, the smallest fish i have ever caught, 1.5 - 3" !! on a black size 18 MF nymph. Further along under some shade there were a few more rises but I was only able to catch another 8" fish on black parachute and that was it for the day.
1st time on a river in Wales and what a fantastic day, looking forward to the Wye tomorrow.

I had a good four hours fishing and caught a lot of trout but no Grayling. The fishing was relatively easy compared to some of the wild fish beats and I was able to use a 3.9m tenkara rod without any problem. I fished from about 4:pm to about 8pm and fish were rising all the time. The river was really low which meant that I did not need to wade in a lot of the pools.

The river was very low and slow not helped by a strong upstream wind. I searched out the faster deeper runs and found Trout in most of them.
4 nice Grayling to 18 inches came from the deeper pools.
All the fish caught on weighted nymphs on French leader including my best ever river Trout of 20 inches.

12 Trout, 4 Grayling

The day was bright and the river low and clear. All fish taken on a parachute and although nothing over 6 inches they put up a spirited fight on my 6ft #3 rod.

Day started off badly after I managed to plunge myself in for an early swim after a bit of bank gave way before I had even started fishing!!! lol. Had 6 trout, nothing big and gave up after spending the morning a tad damp!
