Another tough day on this beat. The water temperature had gone up to 20c and rising. The barbel were not interested in feeding during the day. Then, just as the last 90 minutes into dusk started, rafts of weed came down even in close and made keeping a line out for longer than 5 minutes was impossible. Just one barbel last knockings.

A nice big eel ! Plus some small barbel and bigger chub. All on meat, they wouldn't look at pellets...

Lost a few to hook pulls. Nice day, water carrying a earthy tint. Usual out of control Kayaks, had to help a couple of ladies..... highlight of the day.

I fished for a couple of hours in the evening in pretty low water. There was a big hatch of sedges and a few fish rising for them but I managed to miss 7/8 takes on a dry sedge pattern, the last of which looked big from what I saw of it before I turned away.

3 Perch returned but haunted all day by the sight of those ghost coloured rainbows that stuck up two fins to every lure and worm I tried to tempt them with!

A productive days fishing in a picturesque location.
On first reconnoitring the beat, the first peg you come to (fishing hut) was clearly the spot for local dogs to enjoy their daily swim in addition to their constitutional walk. It was a little surprising when later the dog owners themselves jumped in! Canoes were launched throughout the day.
We fished the wooded area. Its worth noting that at present, the path at the near end of the wood is impassable. You have to walk to the far end of the wood, then walk back along the bank to get access to the natural swims available. Its a long walk up and down a hill!
Lastly, the 2 clear pegs in the wood were full of fish. But, they were both very snaggy. I don't see any other reports of this. Possibly somethings moved in and lodged there recently.

Weather was very hot and sunny, no sign of any fish, no bites at all, difficult days fishing.

0 fish caught

Lovely day and all trout caught in nymphs upstream in last Alexander and stone catch. Thanks to my guide for all the advice the previous day

Quick trip up to my favourite stream at Cregina. Zero caught in the morning. I was getting them up but they wouldn’t stay on and I started to worry a bit.
Things picked up after lunch with 9 fish caught. The usual range of Edw trout at 6-10” and I suspect some of my smaller catch were Salmon Parr but I wasn’t very confident so I’ve marked down a couple caught. They had a deeper fork in tail than the trout. Got snarled in Welsh Show traffic on the way home - bad planning!
