Didn't look like it was going to be a good fishing day with bright sunshine and a strong north west wind but 4 fish in three hours was good going. It was stunningly beautiful up there.

Tough conditions with low clear water and a strong biting cold wind. The sudden drop in temperature appears to have put the fish off the feed. Several swims were fished at the top and bottom ends of the fishery, but neither of us managed a bite.

Took two on nymphs, trout came up at dusk had two more on spiders.

River low and clear, sunny spells and windy. Struggled to find the fish in these conditions but we all enjoyed the day in this scenic spot

Always very scenic and always hard to fish especially in howling winds, however managed a 1 pound grayling and a 1/2 pound trout. Big salmon leapt about two feet away from me whilst wading.

Wanted to give somewhere local a bash , after a series of night shifts , so headed to the Whittern beat ,got there at two, cold northerly gusty wind and sunshine eeekkkkkk!!! Kitted up with my usual rig , opting for a single hot orange tiny tungsten nymph , hard work today to be honest , had one on the nymph , and up passed the second bridge saw a riser , and had him with an eighteen Parachute Adam's, lovely take , both fish the usual stamp for here , about eight or nine inches , and feisty little fish too !!!

The water was back to pretty low , although running nice and clear and cold too !! Several fly pasts of the kingfisher up and down the river ,great too see . . . Looks like that might be me for the small streams this season , a short season due to the obvious pandemic , but varied on these wild streams I must say , and some clonkers too !!! The Whittern beat like some of the others is getting messy , lots of boughs down , overhanging Alderson and the like !!!

Still a cracking three hours , good fun , nice to finish my wild streams sortie on the Arrow , up to a couple of the reservoirs in the Elan Valley over the next few days look forward too that , sorted!!!!
