Lots of fly life rising but no fish doing the same.

No interest on the fly…… speaking to locals this is a worming venue. Unfortunately no worm!

Nothing to the net , but lost a fish in Ty Mawr with some speculative spinning. A big fish as well which eventually snapped 18lb maxima after some storming runs. Will definitely be replacing my under gunned little spinning rod after today’s encounter with my first Wye springer.

Dusted off the tenkara rod to fish this mountain stream. Lots of fish where there was deeper water. Mostly juveniles with parr marks, up to 8 inches and a couple of adults around 12 inches. Some evidence of poaching with thick nylon abandoned on the bank near deep pools.

Fab weather. River in great nick, strong and gin clear. Wading with caution. WBT caught between us from 11AM til 6PM. Sizes 8” to 12”. French nymphing in faster water at bottom of beat and near waterfall. Single tungsten PTN did the job. Fished right at the bottom. Beautiful beat.

River had a nice flow and was pretty clear but didn't spot a fish or see a fish rise all day even though there were mayfly sedge olive trickling off. Tried various drys nymphs to no avail. That said it's a sunning beat.

Nice clean fish from below the Chapel catch about 11lbs

First warm, calm day in weeks! River has really benefitted from the recent rain. Running clear and still dropping slightly over the course of the day. All the algae has been flushed away.

PTN in the morning but a sporadic hatch from around 14:00 caused switch to dry fly. Hatch a mixture of olives, black gnats and pale wateries. First mayfly of the year (for me at least) emerged - to be grabbed by a wagtail. Four nice trout from the bottom of the beat on a #14 Dark Olive.

Note new sheep fencing is being installed along the bank. Access to the top flats is over the style or a long wade upstream. May get easier as levels drop futrher
