Cold, windy and bright. River gin clear and quite low. No fly, no rises and no fish.

Cold, windy and sometimes wet day Did not see any fish. Back to winter?

On parking the temperature was down at about 10deg and there was a cold wind off the Eppynt. So, as I walked to the beat start I was wondering if I was a little early for this small stream. It was a surprise therefore to find rising fish in the first pool of the beat and after a very cautious approach I managed to tempt a notably silver 10" WBT to a winged blue dun. After this pool there were no more rising fish and neither could I tempt any up. In fact I saw no further fish.
I took a couple of hours to get to the fishing hut and walked off the beat from there and back to the car via the lanes. I counted five drowned lambs in the the stream which was a bit gruesome. I have never seen this before and wonder if the fencing needs a review?

I had a lovely day on this small tributary of the Wye, landed 3 trout and lost what I think was a salmon parr. There were lots of flies hatching, such as olives and some smaller flies I couldn't identify as well as 1 or 2 stone-flies. Though there was a large hatch there were no fish rising, and all fish were caught on a size 18 weighted copper ribbed hears ear nymph. Throughout the day I also saw a mother duck with a few ducklings and 2 dead white clawed crayfish, one of them in the river and one of them by the side of the river. All in all it was an amazing days fishing and if you fish it, I would highly recommend fishing barbless flies.
