water too high

Arrived early pm in 31 degrees of heat with river very low. Went to a previously productive swim (last year) but no signs of life except numerous tiny chub and one chub of about 3lb. Thunderstorm and rain started early afternoon and we gave up about 7.30pm with no further activity.

1 Chub

No fish were caught. River was quite low

V low level in parts, but water was moving at a decent pace considering. Absolute scorching hot day (32+ degrees), but wouldn't have known as the pools are very well sheltered with foliage cover. Had a few takes from small brownies, however nothing caught.

2 small perch

Not a bite. Waste of time and money

Did the fish for salmon, due to hot weather and low water so fished gold head nymphs, but wrapped up just after lunch when it got too hot.

Brutal day as water low and so hot. Chub were active - started at lunch and all came on float fished corn or pellet. Couldn’t get through them to any barbel - who I suspect are sulking somewhere! Packed up at 4pm as the thunder started! Awesome beat, as always

17 Chub

Really hot and bright in the morning but saving grace was southerly breeze to give good ripple. 3 trout caught in morning ( half to three quarter lb) then at three pm with two thunder storms on either side wind changed to N. I lost a good fish and Ben had a really nice fish in region 2- 2.25 lb. Rises seen and various swirls at flies. All fish caught on size14 Stoats Tails or Connemara blacks. Drove home, rain and thunder all the way, Rhayader awash.
