Hardly any fish in the first beat was very disappointing !!!

A bright day at first so had a slow start. Late afternoon was the best fishing. Method, Pellet and meat. Canoe traffic not to bad mostly afternoon.

Lovely day on the river the highlights being my friend Alan's first decent fish on the fly - a nice grayling followed by his amusing (to me at least) first dip in the river. Most fish to a dry CDC olive - fish were moved regularly throughout the day.

There was little surface activity at midday in the mid-section so we started with weighted nymphs with sporadic success but we didn't find the big numbers. However despite the lack of rises, dries proved increasingly more effective and there was then a limited hatch of olives. This really is a fantastic and delightfully remote beat. Noticing from the beat notes that the owner would appreciate helpful suggestions, we concluded that cutting a path through the vegitation and brambles adjacent to the Granstand pool would make a vast improvement as it's currently tricky to ensure the longevity of waders when walking between the Coed Cowyn pool and the Hendre.

A few fish showed during the day .Water low enough to wade half way down cottage pool but could not repeat my success of Wednesday in the same pool.

River very low and crystal clear. Lost a good fish, approximately 1/2lb, on about 4th cast which rose to a klinkhammer. The remaining fish were 7 inches maximumand all to a tungsten headed nymph and caught in deeper water.
