Bright and sunny with a cold wind. River a bit high to wade across so we parked near the canal to get access to the left bank.

Nothing seen apart from an otter in one of the lower pools , small hatch however nothing raising .

Productive lunch break at Brecon today. Good hatch of grannon & MB in progress when I arrived - heads literally everywhere. 5 small fish to hand in quick succession, lost a few, including a good fish.

1 Salmon

Bright sunshine, climbing to 11C in the early afternoon but a strong and cold wind coming straight downstream. 1' 10" on the Trostrey gauge and the water was 9.5C
Having seen the sunshine when I awoke, I was improperly dressed and felt the cold almost instantly, having to retreat and warm my hands regularly so I could still actually tie a fly on. I focused on the streamy water at the top end and there was a very short hatch around 1330-1340 which saw a couple of trout feeding on the surface. I took three on a homemade pheasant tail nymph with an oversized grey partridge hackle. Smallest was 8", largest about 15". All looked fit and fought well.

1 decent grayling and a pretty healthy BT. Despite there were not much flies around, both fishes have been taken on a large Brown March
