A quick mooch upstream on the WUF beat , funny weather when I bowled up , clear for a while , then breezy , then showers , and that's how it went for the two hours I was there . . . Till I left at half two !

A bit of activity with upwings , and the clumsy flight of hawthorns , trailing their legs behind them , and a good few on the water , only saw one splashy rise . . . So opted for a small black klinkhammer , which after some struggling in the usual places , did tempt one , pretty little brownie , possibly about eight inches , quickly slipped back in the lovely clear water .

The invertebrae on the stream bed is immense , and within the lush weeds , is so much activity , with a kick sample in the net , which was actually moving with the amount of insect life !!!!!!!!

The cows with their calves were keeping an eye on my activity in the stream , and I made sure my covert manoeuvres were kept within the stream , as they were getting very inquisitive , as they always do . . . . Best keep clear of cows with young calfs , top tip !!!!! It's tricky here , because the fencing , some old and the new barbed wire , is very close to the stream , makes things dam difficult !

So a fun couple of hours , it's starting to get more vegetation and less water , so tricky stuff , and catapult casting in most of the likely haunts is a must . . . . Still great fun , could do with some tlc to get this stream back to its former glory . . . . . It's a cracker , and some lovely little brownies are in here !!!!! Back soon . . . . Happy days !

Small wbt on purple spider. Missed a few much larger fish and let one get away.

Nothing caught but several fish rising, unable to tempt them.

Lovely afternoon in the wildest of Welsh hills with sun and cloud and no rain. Little wind. The first time I've been here but the water level seemed perfect. Very little fly life about, and a minimal number of fish rising. However fish were taking throughout the session, all dry fly on a variety of Parachute Adams. A further trout lost when I caught the line in an overhanging branch. One trout taken. A number of very likely looking runs and pools where it was impossible to fish because of timber in the water.
