4 Trout

Stayed for 2 nights at the Bell at Skenfrith on one of their DB&B deals. Excellent.
Clear water but with very few fish showing on the surface. That said, all but one of my fish were caught by casting to rising fish. 4 on a CDC F fly on top and the other 2 (including the Grayling) on a green gold head nymph.
2 of the trout were 1lb plus, the remainder were about 4-6 ounces. Very enjoyable day.

Fished the West Bank, in difficult conditions with a strong easterly wind. Fished worm until mid morning with only Crayfish being caught. We landed 8 trout all on spinners throughout the rest of the day. We took 5 fish between us with the others being returned. We did catch lots more however they managed to shake the hook before coming to the net. A good day out after a difficult start.

Managed a couple of hours fishing this morning on the Taf Fawr which is another one of MTAA small streams on the upper Taff catchment. I managed to catch several trout wild brown trout up to 3/4lb and several salmon smolts which is amazing as salmon have only been able to get over a set of wiers at Cefn Ceod viaduct for the past three spawning seasons.
