River low and clear with a cool breeze.

Holidaying in Wales for the week, took advantage of the passport scheme to have two days river fishing. Day two the Clywedog beat on an overcast calm day. A day of scrambling, climbing, ducking and untangling, this is not easy fishing, very overgrown. Tried nymphs to start with, but resorted to a dry fly just to make take detection easier. There are some very deep pools I was glad of my newly acquired wading staff. The top of the beat has a lot of fallen trees, had to leave the river completely at one point. Large hatch of olives in the afternoon but saw no fish rising to them. I'm a beginner at river fishing, it was hard work but I enjoyed the day, will return later in the year

Had an enjoyable day caught 3 rainbow trout, 2 on a spinner and 1 on a worm

The relative shelter of the fishing hut deceived us while we were setting up and the stiffish north-westerly breeze soon had us heading back to the car for more layers. The cold didn't deter the grannom hatch around midday, but it did seem to keep the fish pretty quiet. We saw only the odd sporadic rise and all the fish came to weighted nymphs. A lovely day though and great to be back on this delightful stretch of river.

Fished with spinner, although I didn't catch any fish on this occasion I had a very enjoyable day for the short time I stayed, I had other commitments so had to cut my trip short, very much looking forward to my next visit on May 1st.
