.Beautiful day, warm, mild breeze and some cloud, river good height and colour and flow. What went wrong? No hatch to speak of with few upwings. No rising fish. Failed with nymphs, spiders, emergers.

Around a dozen trout between 2 anglers best around a pound. Cold,wet,windy in the morning clearing mid afternoon.
A brief hatch of something unseen(we guessed buzzers) had the trout rising and a handful caught on small black dries.
The rest on wets.

Fished late p.m and evening. Abundant flylife (mostly mayfly) for time after arrrival, but only spasmodic rises. Rose eight and hooked, but lost, two on mayfly, the last of which felt like a good fish.

fished three of the pools Rectory, rock and mill.Caught 1 shad Rectory, didn't see a fish until I was about to leave then for some reason there were salmon rising every where . May be after Friday if forecast is correct

Fished to the best of my ability, saw one good fish move in the neck of the Rectory. Nothing caught,but nice to be out on the river with all the wildlife

Fished Mill pool and Rectory, both with fly and spinner,nothing seen or touched

River a little coloured after rain the day before and a cool breeze did not help . Unfortunately we had a blank day.

I’d fished Ty Newydd on Monday. Twenty four hours of showers made quite a difference. The river was flowing more swiftly and carrying some colour but perfectly fishable. Started mid afternoon with almost nothing showing on the surface . Went through the normal repertoire of nymphs, duo and spiders with no success. Whilst taking a break by the hut I saw one fish feeding close to the boards. Tied on a tiny Griffiths Gnat which was immediately taken. The same fly consistently brought trout to the surface in the wide flats at the bottom of the beat. Seven came to the net, all excellent fish up to a pound and a half. Numerous refusals and one or two “self released”. The sort of evening I dream of but rarely happens.
