Well nice to have some decent weather !! Have down some cracking trips up at Claerwen and Craig Goch reservoirs just lately with the rivers out of sorts and high !!! Has been fun catching wild brownies in the hills , but lovely to tackle up this morning with the six foot ,two weight rod when I was getting ready at the bridge at seven bells . . .

Initially still some water pushing through , so opted for a single tungsten nymph with a bit of colour as there is still quite a tinge of brown in the river !! More than normal as well . . . .

Seemed to work well in the faster water and had a mixed bag of thirteen brownies , ranging In size from six to eleven inches !! Feisty fish this morning too , and hitting the single tungsten nymph hard in the pacier water . Nothing on dries this morning and I know I was early but still not a sniff even around tenish !! Only saw the one mayfly too . . . . That said a myriad of insect from sedges to olives and all in between !!!!! The kingfisher was busy up and down , although I missed him a lot of the time , only hearing his shrill call , as you have to concentrate on this beat with the river bed a lot of the time made up of ankle breaking bed rock !!!!!! I nearly took an early bath too !!!! Close call !!!! Lol !!

A fun few hours , and nice to be back on running water ! One of my favourite beats most definitely , although it's hard work with the bed rock , it's so varied here !!! May give the Arrow a bash on Tuesday afternoon , see if the mayfly are out to play !!!!happy days , back to the Ponderosa and a well earned cool beer me think . . . . . . . . .

15 lb sparkler this morning, bann shrimp. Lost a second which (of course) seemed bigger.

1 Salmon, 2 Trout

Still quite a lot of water, with a a bit of colour, so despite reasonable hatches, including the odd Mayfly, only saw 2 rises. All fish caught on nymphs and several hooked and lost ( unfortunately including some good ones!).

Nothing today apart from Shad. They certainly seem to like a small red Francis. A bit disappointing really as with 1’7 on the gauge ,it was lovely fly water throughout along with a couple of salmon showing in The Run and the Rock Pool.

River was I great condition with loads of fly life on the water. 1 trout caught on a nymph and 2 missed. Didn't quite get to the top of the beat but would certainly visit again.

Nothing caught no sign of any fish at all I was there for 5 hours

The day was un fishable chocolate brown water will need another week to clear.????????????

I little bit disappointed most of the swims are so overgrown poorly managed. If the water was clear,And fishable I would only be able to get down to 2/3 swims.

Wash out????????
