So much for the over cast sky! River dropping quickly, started with a hint of colour, clear by the end of the day. It looked very promising early on, until the sun started!
3 trout to about 12inches, 1 shad about 2 1/2lbs which gave me a a bit of hope, if they can make it up the river then salmon must be able.

5 trout to 8" and bumped a few, GRHE nymph under a Parachute Adams, caught on both. Lovely day, the only thing that got me down slightly was 50% of likely looking runs were too overgrown to throw a line at. I suggest we all carry a small pocket coppicing saw and have a go ourselves and open up a bit more fishing for us all?

WUF note - We have a team of dedicated Wild Streams maintenance staff who are responsible for 'trimming' these beats. It may be at the request of the owner that some beats are more overgrown than others so please refrain from carrying out any beat maintenance without contacting the Foundation first.

3 hours fishing in the afternoon - no sign of insect life or fish. Used duo and down and across, but not a nibble.

Fished the river Towy at Llanwarda (open gravel banks, easy access) and the Pipe Pool (access good for one angler, not sure for two) and had a look at the Cothi at Pontargothi but decided access down to river too much like hard work. One small WBT at Llanwarda, to a nymph. Some interest in Flying Cs (again looked liked WBT) but no takers. Otter eventually stopped play. No sign of fish at Pipe Pool.
(NB- re. access; as of Weds 30th there was no access to this beat on the B4300 from Nantgaredig via Capel Dewi (i.e. as detailed in notes) as road closed. Instead, beat can be reached on B4300 from Carmarthen side.

Fished for a couple of hours between the two bridges. Water slightly cloudy, no fish seen or caught.

River up about 12 inches, coloured but clearing. 4 fish caught on nymph. 2 fish lost. Very pleasant day.

Beautiful river but struggled to tempt a take. Plenty of LDO hatching and a few rising fish but all seemed fairly small and uninterested in anything in my fly box (perhaps it was the angler).

Only the occasional rise and not a lot of fly life. Four healthy and energetic WBT's, 7-9 inches, brought to hand and returned before ripped waders (watch that barbed wire) brought things prematurely to an end. A lovely little beat. All rises and takes were to a small Parachute Adams.
