Well , up at Sparrows fart ; all jobs done and animals suitably fed and watered !! Off to the Upper Cilieni beat . . . Got to the bridge at half six reading twelve degrees in my truck; nice, and slightly misty too , North of the Brecon Beacons !!

Tackled up the six foot two weight with a tiny eighteen Parachute Iron Blue !! And interest In the pools I could get a cast away !! Fascinating beat ,.very varied but low obviously at the moment !! Fun watching small trout hammer my dry . ... caught thus morning on tiny paras and an F fly . . . .

Thirteen this morning five over eight inches ,.Two at about ten and the remainder beautifully marked small trout only perhaps five or six inches !!but taken fair and square on the dries !!!

Twas fun watching the trout in the shallow clear water and how they react to the fly ! In many cases it was an instant attack ! But in the slightly deeper pools a more surreptitious approach was made !!!

Didn't do all the beat ,.and only started from the parking spot up !! Cattle hurdles in the stream are a dam pain gggrrrrrrrr !!! And I think eight maybe more are in the stream and that's within a half mile stretch!!!! Lovely clear water though and lots of insect life under the stones and air Bourne! Most pools had fish in them willing to have a pop at a well presented fly !! Missed loads too this morning ; small fish are incredibly quick ! But I did tune in to them after several misses !!!!

Anyway a lovely five hours in a tranquil valley ! A true wild stream ,.Hard work but careful positioning and you'll get your trout !! Loved it here , may give the slightly easier fishing on the Parc Fishery a bash next week . . . . Back on my favourite Arrow in a few days . . . Homeward bound and something cold and amber coloured in a pint glass me thinks !! Sorted!!

Fished Dawn till 14 30 river very low 5 chub taken first thing beat 4 gave up once sun got up to bright and hot. Went to look at locksters pool from the roadside was stopped from doing so by a local lady. Said it was for salmon only. Apart from that When fishing very relaxing. Better accesss to the banks would be better as some where very over grown with stinging nettles.
