Water up a little and coloured from storms ((Many congrats from WUF!)

Fantastic fishing. 15 BT off the top with a size 18 olive sedge. The fishing more than made up for the pouring rain, thunder and lightning .... down for the weekend have just booked to fish the same stretch again tomorrow.

Mick pointed out a couple of showing fish but they would not take. Couple of Shad took my salmon fly. Later flash flood coloured the water so an early bath.

Thunderstorms caused a lot of colour from the Trothy and Monnow. A couple of pulls, and saw a few fish. Lots of shad. Caught a very silver trout of about 2 1/2lbs in the Pipes...pretty certain it was a sewin.

Spent 3 hours along the beat, took 1 trout on dry and lost 1 other. Field had campers in at two places.
Pleasant beat, except for a couple of dead sheep near water.

2 hour thunderstorm and riding red water didn’t help, but kept at it and caught a nice 3/4 lb Wbt. Some lovely pools to wade up through, but quite a lot of slow and inaccessible stretches in between.
Very few rising in those conditions, but enjoyed the day

Did not fish as brook was in flood following heavy rain.

Arrived early afternoon post rain and 20minutes in found myself in the middle of a rise all around me. Couldn't tie a dry fly on quick enough! 3rd cast and I had a lovely brown trout with a good fight jumping clear of the water numerous times. They seemed to cotton on to me and after that they went completely quiet. Caught down the bottom end. Two trout evaded me all day up the top end. constantly feeding off the surface. Missed one of them twice through the course of the day on a klinkhammer. Several more misses through the early evening. Just as I was considering calling it a day the middle section woke up and the klink worked. 2 caught in the next 20minutes as a nice mist rolled down onto the river. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and evening. 3 netted, several missed.

Started late due to the lightening river coloured up for a few hours then cleared again. Most fish taken on nymphs with several missed on the dry.
