9 fish on an interesting river, lots of Fly life.Had a heads up offa DP of Neath, real local knowledge that proved to be finger on the pulse. All fish to quill nymph fished New Zealand style.

Two hours evening fishing on a beat new to me. Classic small stream stuff requiring stealth and casting through,round, and under trees. Determined today to fish dry only and yet there seems to be good nymphing water. Three fish fell to olive emergers of various sorts. IOBO fly (look it up on line) seemed very effective. three chunky trout netted of a good 12 inches and fat. I have only scratched the surface with this beat and will return.

Slightly overcast but warm. 7 WBT one at 4", but generally 8 - 9". All on size 14 Parachute Adams. 5 fish downstream of bridge, 2 of these in thge pool just next to the bridge. 2 final fish upstream of the bridge. Fished all to the rise. A light hatch of mayflies, and smaller blue winged olives throughout the day.

Mayflies about in the afternoon but only a few fish rising, fished nymph below klinkhammer with all fish taking nymph. Caught and lost a few on dry mayfly pattern late afternoon.

Fished the Fly in very good weather and river conditions, however, the beat has limited fly water and access is neglected. The Bank track is considerably overgrown. Nothing caught, Nothing seen.

Lovely stretch of dry fly water and although conditions weren't perfect I had a lovely day and 5 trout up to just over 1lb. The fish were all caught on dry fly with a sedge pattern being the most successful.
