Really tough conditions again, desperately need some rain.

A lovely day though a little windy. This is another beautiful beat, but today, was not our day. No activity, no rise, nothing. We tried dries and nymphs but got nothing. Would go back, but disappointed

First time at the beacons reservoir. Water still visibly very low. Tree island up the top end only has water one side. Fished the West Bank from middle to top. Good conditions, steady breeze with drizzle. Saw nothing moving , managed to pick one very small brownie up around 8 inches. The lack of seeing any fish anywhere on the lake and drone of traffic from the A470 did my head in after a while so called it a day after a few hours .

8 barbel all between 6 to 9.08lb with all fish being caught on the feeder with hair rigged pellets. The river was running at 0.26m with low pressure.

Low and weedy. Fish fed late afternoon. Confused by sign beside footpath that says NO FOOTPATH !! Farmer has ploughed field to very edge so we had to walk down that.

4 Barbel, 6 Chub

No salmon, only 3 chub to 4lb on a hitched fly from the Island Stream. Saw fish early doors in the head of the Pipes but no joy

7 x trout, 9 x grayling to 16 inches. Surprisingly hard work, possibly due to a slight rise and peat coloration of river overnight. Almost nothing rising naturally.

7 Trout, 9 Grayling

Lovely day out on the river. Needs another foot of water though!
