River carrying a bit of colour. Should clear by tomorrow.
1 salmon lost around 4pm. Lost count of the amount of shad landed.

3 Trout, 10 Other

Fantastic stretch of river but a downstream breeze, incredibly bright conditions and low water, not to mention my own incompetence, loaded the dice against me. Very good levels of fly life much appreciated by the nesting Dipper, Flycatchers, and Wagtails

At last it has been possible to fish at Ty Newydd! I needn't have bothered though... The rise in the water level that happened on Sunday/Monday turned the water to broccoli soup. I couldn't see my feet when wading. I did catch a few small trout but no sign of salmon at all.

The river looked like it was fining down as there was some colour on. Nothing rising in the morning but one rose just above the weir at Midday, which obliged first cast.
Moved upstream through the metal gate about 250 yards upstream, fought through the undergrowth and stood mid river casting upstream to an overhanging willow. A struggling Mayfly was swallowed by a Trout, which subsequently came to the net, followed by another shortly afterwards.
I walked to the top of the beat but literally could not find another viable access point to the river because of chest high weed growth but more importantly the electric fence was switched on(I checked, ouch!) despite there being no livestock present, and upstream of the electric fence, 4 rows of wire, the top 2 of which were barbed. Note that I couldn’t figure out an easy way to get to the other side of the river.
In summary a lovely day in 22 degree sunshine, 3 10 inch WBT, the day only marred by a lack of access to the majority of the beat.
All 3 taken on a Mayfly Emerger.
I took some pictures but can’t see how to paste/upload them?

Could not fish due to colour of river, I was there at 6-30am

After Mondays results was looking forward to another bash at the fish who were in a taking mood. Up early and was at the river 5-30am . What a disappointment didn't see this coming where has it come from ? I don't think it is a natural flood colour any information might help. Did not fish

Location stunning as always. J B soon got in to some trout at the top of the pool below the weir – nothing massive, just the usual beautiful trout around 10 -12”. He continued like that all day and finished with 7, only 1 grayling in his tally. As for me I had a mare – it was fish number 9 before a trout came to hand, the rest were long distance catch and release. There was a huge spinner fall and rise late on,,,,,

7 Trout, 1 Grayling
