1 X salmon 13 .5 lb caught using fc spinner today by Bob Rudd on HDAA waters luggs mouth

1 Salmon

Beautiful day withe river looking a picture and light upstream wind. Warmed up early and best hatches in the morning. 5 fish 10-11inches with one at 15. All on dry fly. Mostly in the riffles.

5 Trout

2 brown trout and 1 shad released.

2 Trout, 1 Other

Now the clearance work on this beat has matured the result is a much improved river for fishing dry flies, with long streamy stretches developed with room to cast. With warming weather having prompted a healthy mayfly hatch I spent a peaceful day making my way upstream. The fish seemed to be happy to take a mayfly imitation. I was also accompanied by a kingfisher and a curious cow. This is fast becoming one of my favourite beats.

Cold and windy, two rainbow caught on worm

Two anglers 4 X brown trout caught on worm. Two were returned as they were so small. Nothing on spinning.

2 Trout

Strength of steamy trouting water around the island was too tricky to wade, but would be very attractive at somewhat lower levels. While there, between 1 and 4pm there was surprisingly little fly life. However a salmon had a snatch at my fly, and remained tantalising active. Lovely sunny, gently breezy day. (Note that the "white gate"is no more, so newcomers need to look for the short steep path with steps that can be found in the hedge just beyond Glan y Cafn house)

zero fish caught

Fished the stretch by Quakers Yard Railway Station. Fished spinner, lures and worm. Not a nibble all evening I'm afraid!
