Fished from 1800 until last light (about 2145). Cracking little steam. Hooked 3 and brought 2 to hand on 16 Greenwells Glory, 16 Coch y Bonddu and 20 Midge (the loss). Rises were intermittent but enthusiastic, fish tolerated multiple presentations before striking, persistence was key!

River very low so didn't hold out much hope. I connected with something at the top of rock pool, didn't feel very big and it slipped the hook as it got near. It definitely wasn't a brown trout as I saw how silver it was and the tail shape was wrong. I'm guessing it was either a small grilse or a sea trout? It looked to be around the 3lb mark from what I saw.
Saw one decent splash at the neck of rectory pool. (WUF Note possibly an Allis shad)

Two or three fish riding occasionally in a couple of the pools. Caught two on Grey Wulff and one on a nymph.

4x fish to 14", another glorious spot.

Warm sunny day with the occasional cloud, turning hazy as the day wore on. Very little wind and the river running at a nice level and clear.
On arrival walked down the beat, and managed to rip my waders on a wayward bit of barbed wire, not a good start!
I spooked a couple of fish on the way down too, and figured that I'd never get in range of these fish with a dry so I started on the nymph.
However when I got to the first pool I noticed a rise, so on went the the rusty clinkhammer, and after an awkward cast the first fish was brought to hand.
In the end 8 brownies from about 4-10ins came to hand and at least that many missed or lost.
I only managed to fish the lower half of the beat as I didn't have much time, but had a great afternoon!

Lovely beat but we think few salmon around. Saw one, moved none, caught none. Lowish, clearish water. Blazing sun all day and not ideal conditions but would fish this again in other conditions.

A tough day, bright sunlight, not much rising and a considerable array of kids, dogs and sticks. I was pleased with 4 fish.
