At 7.25am I caught an 11 lb salmon in the Cafn pool on a size 10 Cascade. I saw it rise while I was having breakfast, so I gulped down my food and bingo!

Terrible weather, but a beautiful beat. Tough fishing through the rain and wind. But a nice 1lb fish caught high up on the beat on a nymph.

Superb height and clearing well after the small rise. Good barbel to 8 1/2 lb and quality chub landed this morning. Fish now seem to be feeding well after a slow start.

Arrived late morning, weather fantastic, river conditions good. Plenty of fish rising and a good fly hatch. Both fly fishing, using mayfly, various others tried but the mayfly in June worked best! 5 landed, largest 14 inches, all returned. All in all a very good day to be on the river. Many thanks to the ladies in the office, as always extremely helpful.

River flow seemed to increase dramatically after 10am .Lots of canoes (60+) but all politely paddled. Fish also politely declined my invitation.

A still, warm and rather cloudy day with river conditions and fly life very like when I fished Dolgau last Friday, and with much the same result! The fly fishing "dog days" are with us for sure. Very few upwings apart from some pale wateries; some sedges and, later in the day, yellow sally stonefly - so nothing much to stimulate fish to get off their backsides and get up in the water! A few small trout sipped off and on during the day, on what, I am not sure. Fished with various surface/emerger and terrestrial patterns, duo, spiders and nymphs. Had just seven trout including two nice 14" fish and one 12" grayling on a couple of small hare's ear and olive emergers. A few tugs and dropped fish on the lift on the spiders and nymph - small fish I suspect. It's tough now for sure. Maybe I missed the best of the day's fishing by going home at 5.30p.m. to watch a recording of the Lions match earlier in the day?!

Two barbel of 8 pounds and two chub about 3 and 4 pounds. A lovely day, saw otter and two kingfishers early in morning. Fish caught on pellets with feeder.

We caught more than our fair share! Loads of barbel, numerous fish over 8lb and 3 over 9lb, biggest 9lb 6oz. Plenty of chub, biggest about 4lb. Left earlier than planned because we thought we better leave a few for next time! A brilliant day!
