Beautiful weather but surprisingly sparse hatch of olives and mayflies. Gnats swarming everywhere and one out of season 12" grayling caught on a peacock and spider variant of a team of wet flies in a faster pool. Trout were rising very sporadically in the slow gravel runs and a fine 15" fish eventually took a small black gnat emerger. I had to leave at 5:30pm, perhaps an evening rise would have yielded more fish. Yes to those who say this beat is tough to access and too deep to wade in many places, but the system of access markers on the bank is really good and does allow you to reach some really fishable pools.

A quiet couple of hours, again with just the otters for company. Very low water levels and bright conditions made for a quiet start, but a sizeable Grayling on a Klinkhammer Indicator at the bottom of the Bathing Pool made up for things. I fished the right bank this time and directions and info were spot on.

Fly fishing for brown trout on the stretch below Towey Bridge Inn. Saw no rises and no fly hatch of any kind. I used various nymphs including PTN, GRHE and goldheads. River was a little low, but perfectly fishable. Weather was warm and overcast at times. Stayed at the Royal Oak.

Mostly sunny breezy. A couple of fish caught in the morning on small dries of a pound. P.M. a good trout caught blow the rapids of 2lbs and one of a pound on tiny dries. Evening a good fish took on midge size 20 at Little Stream, just as Harry Legge Bourke , the estate owner appeared on a ride-on mower. After some very dubious commentary from the bank, a fine heavily spotted fish of 2. 1/2lbs came to the net. Harry declared it was definitely a sewin. 8 fish for 2 rods

Ben Carter's first Wye salmon 10lb, caught on small cascade in Agen. Amazingly strong fish landed 100 metres downstream.
