With the level at Ross showing 0.53 and the river in perfect trim I was hoping for great things.
The top of the beat, right bank, is easy wading at this height being knee to waist deep and with just a little less water I could have made the crossing to the island too. Being able to get in the water and off the high banks is great for casting a shooting head right across the river and the prospects are high.
Not a sniff; fished right through with the fly in the morning, 1WBT of 1lb, and resorted to the spinning rod in the afternoon. Nothing, nada, zilch.
Did find that the last 300yd 'flat-water' glide is easy wading, packed with trout and will be great on a summers evening with a good hatch coming off. So I will be trying again.

Showers all day so fished for 2 hours in the evening. Water clear, river levels lower side of good. Some fallen branches in the water which are distressingly easy to get snagged on. Nymph mostly and a little dry fly. No fish taken although did see rises late evening. Only fished the upper section but would return - many good runs and holding pools.

Small bead headed nymph pattern used.
Despite overnight rain the river was clear and fairly low, but it was a rainy day with no surface activity at all
Two small fingerlings and two 10" all returned
A lovely day out in glorious surroundings, thanks very much.

River high with water, fast and dark. Tried getting deep with nymphs and other patterns with gold head, no joy.

16 fish caught and returned, best fish 1.5lb. Insects hatching but not many rising fish.

Fished the stretch through Merthyr Town from Rhydycar up to Brecon Road with a friend today. Strong winds but lots of LDO's and Brook Dunns on the water with trout feeding happily. Caught several fish each, all on dry fly patterns up to 2lb. All the fish were wild (No stockies).

Drove up from Cornwall early hours of Saturday morning, beat was very easy to find.
Hooked big fish in Legg Meadow Pool ona Flying C, only on briefly, I believe it to have been a big pike.
As tubing had deep cuts all over it. Saw 3 salmon show, 1 just above Legg Meadow Crib the other 2 were below it.

4 good trout to 14" caught. Lovely stretch of river but wading tricky.
