Fished this lovely stretch of water but water was a little low. Tried euro nymphing for the first time but no luck. Also tried dry flies in the evening but no luck either. There were very few rising in the evening even though there was a hatch for sure. Saw 2 very large fish jumping, one possible a salmon given its size.

Totally different weather to yesterday at How Caple, overnight rain and overcast and a lot cooler.
Didn't start fishing 'til midday, had bites from the off and consistent sport all afternoon.
A boilie/pellet seemed to work well.
Definitely be coming back here, although maybe a little lighter tacklewise as it's quite a walk.

Intermittent rain, about 17C and a southerly breeze. Quite a change from a week of high pressure and blue sunny skies. The odd small fish rising at the dam end on arrival at 8am. One small brownie rushed out to harass the bob fly at the end of a retrieve near the old boathouse. Otherwise no other contacts. Overall impressions on this my first visit: an attractive water, which probably fishes well on the right day; however, slightly let down by the traffic noise on the adjacent A470 and the heavily wooded western side and top end, which makes access challenging.

3 hours fishing around noon. Plenty of sunshine, temperatures was over 20 degrees in mid September! Tricky cast was required due to the over grown branch of tree and heavy bush on both side bank. River bed and stone were covered by weed, this was another cause of trouble...I caught 3 Grayling under the trees.

River low and clear, very sparse hatch, plenty of trees in the channel making life interesting. Occasional fish keeps you moving upstream in search of more........ just move carefully!!!! The fish spook and the rocks are slippery!
