Mid stream near the top of the beat lovely fish about 10am on.nymph. Ty Newydd lodge is a very special place to stay with beautiful views in every direction.

Strong east wind and surprisingly cold in the morning. Still some near surface action with traditional wets. Coch y bonddu
also worked. Several fish missed or lost.

What a lovely beat, it was warm and sunny, the river was fast flowing in areas and wading was tricky.

Not a single fish between us, we went through the fly boxes using Nymphs, parachute Adam's, Sedges, Shrimp, Daddy's the lot and not a single hit. We were stalked by a heron who also didnt catch a thing, we didnt see any fish rising despite a few hatches in the afternoon sun. We fished from 09:00 to 16:00 due to a 3.5 hour drive but a bad day on the river is better than a good day in the office.
