Great days fishing - lovely water - but nothing caught today

Washed off.

The morning session was unproductive in the complete absence of fly, rises and any interest in my various nymph offerings. With a blank looking increasingly on the cards I noticed a dimple in some slack water on the opposite bank. Then another. And another. Two fish feeding quietly and efficiently on a trickle hatch of LDO. No more than 2-3 seconds of drag free drift. By some miracle I caught them both in Comparadun, beautiful hard fighting fish of 16” and 15”. A 12”er followed a little later further upstream. A lovely afternoon in the most picturesque setting.

All fish caught on nymphs in the morning. 2 x 12”, 2 x 15”, 1 x 18”. Waited patiently for March Browns or LDO’s but the cold wind kept them on the river bed.

New to the Honddu and first choice was the Lowe Stanton beat but 2 other anglers just beat me to it, so I headed upstream to Lower Henlon and then Llanthony in the afternoon. River level high but clear. Winkled out one WBT of about 10 inches on nymph.
