The path to get to the top of this beat is a hard slog, the river is looking good but, I only saw one fish rise and caught nothing. Local chat with people who live near report two otter families, one near the bridge at the bottom of the stretch and another apparently at the top......... not good for our community at all.

Four trout caught on dry fly during a hatch around midday, with sun out on early spring day. One trout and one grayling caught on spiders, and one escaped just on the point of being netted.

After a fantastic day at Ashford House we had high expectations that the following day would be similar. Penpont is great, varied water and the MB started hatching as expected at 11:30. However, few fish rose for them. The day was warm and sunny, but with a chilly northerly wind. We had 11 between the 2 of us on dries mainly fished blind. Smallest about 1/2lb and larges close to 2lb. After the hatch finished we nymphed for hours but no takes. Strange day, but I have to say Penpont is a gorgeous place to fish.

Fished Talybont reservoir 10.00am to 1.30pm with LT. Buzzers hatching but very little fish activity. Way too calm and bright! Managed 3 each; nothing huge but typical healthy Talybont fish. Lost one on a long range release that looked a better fish.

Fished bottom end of Abergavenny town with a MTAA member from 2.30pm till 4.00pm. Lots of grannom on the wing when we arrived, but barely a rise to be seen. We had half a dozen between us, most on nymphs fished under a klinkhammer, but the best fish nailed the klink. I lost a good fish on a streamer. The top of the beat resembled Barry Island beach - complete with sunbathers & swimmers! Maybe not the best beat for a sunny warm day.
