Beautiful beat and glorious weather for sunbathing. River already getting a bit low so combined with sunshine made for difficult going. No fish seen or contacted apart from zillions of fry.

Very warm and sunny day. Never saw a salmon or had a pull all day, though did see a large pike below the bend, and a trout chasing minnows in Vanstone.

Had a 1.5lb brown trout third cast on a small tube which pulled hard and had me thinking it was a grilse for the first minute or so.

8 hours later that was the only fish I'd had. Didn't see any Salmon.

Water level was around 6 inches. Some of the pools were great for the fly but overall I reckon it would be better at 8-10 inches, possibly a foot.

Fished this on the 7th and 9th of May 2013 - Blanked but enjoyed. It rained on the 9th. Although no fish caught, I still enjoyed fishing these beautiful scenic waters.

Landed one and lost one WBT on czech nymph gear. Saw one other fish which rose to LDO but didn't like my presentation and promptly spooked!
A beautiful day to be out but the water was very, very low and i'm sure this had an effect on the quality of the sport...

The combination of bright sun and low water level made this quite a challenging session. Occasional Medium Olives hatched as did one or two Large Dark Olives and very few rising fish observed all day.
Fishing a traditional "team of three" wet flies across and down and upstream "klink'n'dink" were the methods that produced fish, of which most were in the 20 -25 cms range.

Very warm (20-22C)and sunny with almost cloudless sky for most of day. Upstream breeze. River low and clear - water temp 14C. Light hatch of olives in late morning. Caught 5 on dry upwing Adams size 14. Best fish 1lb 6oz. Smaller, rather than larger fish moving. River needs refreshing. Hopefully the forecast rain will help, as the dry conditions not good for insect life.

Bright sun, upstream wind, Water level appears quite low.
Around 11am a small hatch of Olives, but no trout moving.
Fished a variety of dry patterns but nothing interested, not surprising as they would not move to the Olives !!
A lovely beat, once again I took a number of very nice photographs, but not of fish!

Fished until early afternoon. Water a bit low, and did not see any fish. Moved on to Aberedw.

Having seen nothing at Hergest, tried this beat for afternoon. Some good fish moving in the big pool 100 yards from the bottom, and they went for a Grey Duster and Iron Blue Dunn, but did not take.
