Shared this stunning beat with a young J S from Bath who had a rather more successful day than me with his nymphs. With my weighted nymph collection sitting on the table 180 miles away, I was left to fish the tails with an Elk hair caddis. Picked off four fish from ten to fourteen inches during the bursts of sunshine and a 30 min hatch at 12.30. The continual down stream breeze strenghthend to more gusty conditions that took the enjoyment and ability to present a fly away for the day. All fish safely returned as was I to the Red Lion in Llangynydr. A good day.

A very warm day for the time of year, with the water running at 12 degrees C at 6:30am. Mixture of fly and spinning: varied on water depth.
The only fish seen were 1. a trout being chased by a pike; 2. a very decent sized trout in the margins upstream of the croy outside the fishing hut. No fish caught, but a very enjoyable day nonetheless.

Guiding the Young family. 6 x trout 12-14 inches on various dry March Brown patterns. Fished between 10 and 1, and saw a trickle hatch of march browns coming off every few minutes, along with a few grannom.

Fished from top of beat to road bridge in the 3 hours I had. Nothing seen or caught.

Where have all the springers gone? Perfect conditions, clear and falling. 11lb hen caught by NJ from top of beat at 0615 hrs, and another lost 1030 hrs but otherwise apart from a fine chub not a sign. To early? Few fish up/down river as reported?
Plenty of cormorants at least, two pairs working this section of river and early signs of canoe activity!
