I caught 4 and my mate caught 4. Average weight was 2lbs, not a bad days fishing.

8 Trout

Fishing Saturday afternoon and Sunday. River level at first over the metre, fining down nicely. Wading at this level is unwise. However, on Sunday, I did manage to get in just below the bridge by the gauges and a little further down towards the cables. This is normally slower water, but at the 0.9m range I managed to fish the fly well.
Upstream where the water is faster, I fished from the bank and platform on both sides. Sunday was a perfect day filling me with confidence. Alas no fish for me.
The good news is that a salmon has now (12th March)
been caught below and I did hear of an earlier fish lost upstream. Good luck to all for the New Season!

Lovely sunny day, no fish raised, seen neither hooked, not a single one. Next time, maybe.

River clearing, dropping during the day after Thursday night's rain. River is looking good for this week coming, shame I'm in Cambridge!

Got to the beat and it is as it looks as you drive past, stunning but coloured up over night. Nice flee water here and you don't have to cast very far either on the right hand bank considering the width of the river. The streamy water is on your side, wading described as challenging, however the river Tay was a lot tougher. Just use a staff and its fine. The beat owner was very helpful which is always a plus when you have not fished this beat before.
No Springer today but if he or she was there I'm sure I would have had a take. Water was clearing really nicely all afternoon and dropping back a bit.

Lovely beat, quite a lot of good fly water at this height. About one and a quarter feet on the Glanusk gauge. A bit too deep to wade as much of it as I would have liked though. No sign of any fish moving at all apart from a few small trout in a sun-warmed shallow. Kingfisher, some small dark up-wings about.

All caught on worm good day fishing weather was great.

Water still quite high. Caught just one Grayling which must be the smallest Grayling in the country, in fact I think the fly it took was bigger than the fish!
Lovely afternoon to be out though although water was still very cold.

1 Grayling

Had a fantastic day at Courtfield, the conditions were perfect as at last it has stopped raining! We met Don who put us in the swims.
My friend J had a barbel in the first 20 minutes, then went on to catch 4 more up to 8lb.
I was blanking until 1.30pm, then moved further down Legg Meadow where I caught a nice chub of 3lb and then the barbel moved in. I had 4 big fish ranging from 7lb to 9lb and lost one. Such a shame the season is ending when the fishing is now so good. They need to extend the season by at least a month. We will be back!
Thanks Don.

9 Barbel, 1 Chub

A beautiful day, conditions were perfect. One barbel each on pellet.
