Blazing hot day, the beat looking stunning. Chunky coloured fish leaping rolling in the Rectory Pool a few times, covered it and changed flies 3 times, could not tempt it. More exploring today checking out the RHB too, puts a whole new perspective on it. Until the next time.

Very very hot day. Lower part of the beat is all flat so didn't even attempt to fish due to the heat. Upper part of the beat had few fast flowing water which I concentrated more on. Caught 4 nice WBT all on GRHE and all safely returned. Lots of swimmers which ruined most of the fishing. There is a public walkway on the right hand side of the river where you get a lot of dog walkers and a lot of people enjoying the water swimming and throwing stones and taking their dogs in the water.

Arrived at lunchtime and took 3 trout, two on dry and one on wet.
However, it then went very quiet, probably a combination of the high temperatures and bright sun.

no fish caught today

Decided not to fish as the conditions were the same as the previous unproductive evening. Cut our losses and moved on to try the Usk.

Hottest day of the year. High sun. Low water. Definitely not trout fishing conditions. Not a fish rose all day. However, we managed to tease out a couple of nice fish. 10" and 12"+, using tungsten-weighted nymphs in the deeper runs. Very happy with these fish given the conditions.
