Beautiful day probably to nice, fish feeding on arrival managed to net eleven from 11-13 inches in the time i was their.. the sun rose overhead and that was that not a single rise or any taken on nymph. fly on the water was very limited a few midges early on and a very small trickle of olives which none of the Arrow trout rose for.

A lovely river that reminded me of the brook that ran past my house as a child in which I spent many an hour paddling around after stickle backs and stone loach
had a really enjoyable day well afternoon as customers with problems got in the way of an early start caught two on dry fly and rest on small nymph fished upstream
Some Mayfly were starting to emerge I saw dippers, robins, a stoat, and a squirrel that was nearly the size of a cat. No canoes this time.

Lovely day with blue sky and hazy sunshine. Air temperature rising to well over 20C. Water temp. 12C. Arrived at 12 noon and fished until 3.45pm. According to fellow angler there had been a light hatch of medium olives, resulting in a rise, at around 11am. I fished dry olive pattern and had 6 trout up to 1lb 2oz, fishing to occasional rising trout or fishing 'blind'.

Superb stretch of river , very hot and sunny day though. Caught a few small trout and grayling plus a couple of decent chub. All fish on a small goldhead hares ear nymph. Very enjoyable and Terry the Ghillie was excellent, he could not have been more helpful.

Bright sunny day. Wind was very variable in direction. Water level was 0.30m at Brecon. Condition was very good. I was on the water for a long time and did not see anything of a hatch. Tough day for fishing - although I expect the heron I saw had better luck than me. Managed a couple of WBT on a pale yellow may in the flats at about 10:00am. The one that got away was a beauty but you know that story......
After that everything stopped.
First time on this beat for me - not sure about beat limits as the map shows that the top end of the beat ends an open space at Afon Crawnon but there is a prominent "PRIVATE" sign before the Crawnon?? Please clarify for anglers wishing to fish the Crawnon Pool.

Afternoon only so just fished top half. Warm and sunny, some rising fish, a dozen or so caught - most average size, but 2 around 10" one over 12". Water seemed pretty low for this time of year. Lots of fly life in the evening (after 5.00).

No fish caught. Three showed in Vanstone in the evening.

Nothing caught although I did see a decent fish jumping in Whirly pool, which could not be tempted by my Toby.
