Opening day on the Beacons. It was damp with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, but light winds. Fish were quite active, rising to buzzer at times. Plenty of action with fish from 9 inches to 14 inches, mostly in the shallower areas at the top end.

Arrived to find a very full river but fortunately not too much colour.
The winter floods had eroded the near side bank leaving steep drops to the river. After a downstream walk I found a place where I could clamber down and set about Euro Nymphing my way back upstream. This is a method I’m still getting to grips with and I spent a lot of time freeing my flies from the bottom. However one cast wasn’t the bottom as it moved, turned out to be a trout of approx 1 lb.
The rest of the fish were caught swinging heavy nymphs, we saw the odd fly and the odd rise but nothing sustained. The fish we’re hungry mind , we both commented on how hard they hit the flies.
A lovely spring day, seemed to have dodged the rain for once.
Thanks to the land owner for moving the gate much further down the hill allowing for a much easier exit.
