River had dropped around a foot since previous visit on 9th June and lost most of its colour. We fished the fly on the Ysbytty beat in the morning but had no response, so off to the Mardy armed with spinning rods which produced a fish of around 11lb to the Irish Minnow. This was not as fresh as the fish caught on the 9th and had marks to suggest it had been through a drift net. It also had part of its tail missing, suggesting an encounter with seals perhaps. He probably thought his time was up today but was quickly released to fight another day.

1 Salmon

Fished for salmon with John Lewis. Water colour and height perfect for spinning at .77m.
John hooked and landed a 10lb hen fish from the sill above the rock at 11.50. Nice fresh specimen which was duly unhooked and returned. Took red and copper fc.
John also hooked a trout of 1lb on the same lure at the very bottom of the beat at about 5pm. Fish returned OK
2 other salmon moved in the chine.
I had no luck.

River in fine form, fish everywhere. Syndicate member had a fish of 20lb this morning. I hooked something on beat 3 on a small cascade this evening. Put a good bend in the rod for a few seconds​. All I managed were 3 shad for the day.

Afternoon trying to make amends for yesterday's losses, but not today. Saw fish moving through the orchard.

Three brown trout caught and released on dry flies, including Parachute Adams. Largest fish was around 9-10 Inches, caught at dusk.

Fished for 3 hours or so on lower section of beat (up-to end of left bank access). Wading and access is fairly easy along the length, and certainly plenty of fish in evidence. Some sections very difficult to cast in, but where it is possible, fish very willing to take whatever was offered. I lost / missed probably three times as many as I landed, once being so pleased to be able to land a fly on the water that I forgot to strike!
Will certainly return to explore other parts of this river.
