A great day on a beautiful river... but it almost felt like winter. Not quite a freezing day, but with cold air being pushed in from the Arctic it was decidedly cool! Bright sun to start with (9am), gradually clouding over during the day, with a few sporadic bursts of sun (which were very much welcome). They was also an occasional gusty breeze that seemed to be coming from no particular direction. You just had to wait for it to pass.
The river was low, but not too low, and it had a good flow to it (possibly from the previous day's hail and snow). It was fresh and crystal clear. It was also good to see that quite a few lower branches on some of the trees had been cut down too, making casting easier in places. In the morning there was no action at all, and I saw no fish. I fished a few sections where I have caught before, but nothing.
Things started to happen from around 2.30 onwards in the upper half of the beat, working upstream back towards Skenfrith. A small Grayling, then I failed to land a much bigger Trout, just inches away from my net when it shook itself free. I moved upstream and caught a further two Grayling, one of which was a good size. But I was still looking for my first Brown Trout of the season. Further up again, and at about 6pm, I finally landed a perfectly formed, small WBT. Great. All caught on a Hare's Ear Nymph on a dropper with a Klinkhammer indicator, and all fish safely returned.

A Northerly wind kept the temperatures to 10C max. but it was a lovely sunny day. The river was very low making wading easier than usual.
I started with gold headed nymphs and took a couple of fish and lost one much bigger. I soon found myself at the large pool at the top of the beat where a few fish were rising to the occasional olive and March Brown and spent some time trying to tempt one but as on previous visits the fish here proved difficult and the trees behind you hinder casting so I headed for the flats as a variety of insects were now coming off.
I love the flats here, especially on a sunny day and soon spotted rising fish, fantastic stuff on a dry fly but today was frustrating as the fish just wouldn't stay on the hook. I lost three, each time checking my hook for sharpness, but in the end changed my fly and then promptly lost another! In the end I managed 4 on dries the last being a beast of a fish with a mouthful of needle sharp teeth which must have been nudging 2lb.

Caught my first trout on a spider in a hailstorm with 4 USAF F16s screaming overhead at treetop level. Never to be repeated I suspect.

Fished Beat 3 with fly, as per Terry Ward's advice, in the stretch which had produced his fish on Monday. A nice push of water with the odd fish apparently 'trickling through' in spite of the conditions, but I lacked his magic touch. Nil caught.

Took 4 on a 6 fish ticket but had a bit of action losing a few as well. Water is down for time of year and still quite windy. Fishing near an old submerged wall and lost fish and tackle as usual at that spot but its a trade off as it is generally a good spot to get a little action.
4 Trout
