2 x trout 6-8 inches on Klinkhammers. Tough fishing, but maybe it was a bit early. I missed a couple of others, but nothing of size. The sight of a red kite constantly wheeling above the beat added to the pleasure of the morning.

1 rod hooked and lost 2 fish and raised 4 other, no fish caught. 2nd rod raised 5 fish. The Edw was low and clear. The water was 50F. There were a few fish rising and there was a sparse hatch of LDOs and Grannom, with a few Olive Uprights(?)

Our, (Sue, my wife and I), first go at small river / stream fishing. We had the expertise of the excellent Paul Reddish to guide us and show us the commando techniques required for this marvellous fishing. Despite a good number of takes, no fish were caught, however that wasn't essential on this occasion. Fantastic way to spend the day, we'll be back.

No fish caught. A difficult stretch of water for fishing. At first we thought there were no fish but closer observation revealed very shy fish easily spooked. A really challenging fishery in beautiful setting.

Lovely overcast and warm day but river very low after all this dry weather. Trickle hatch of grannom together with a few upwinged flies. Some fish rising in the slower pools during the afternoon, but proved impossible to tempt on dry flies. Managed to catch two fish on small olive nymphs of 1.5 lb and a superb fish of 2.5 lb in cracking condition. Beautiful beat and owner very helpful and friendly.

Caught two trout around 12" in in faster water water below A40 bridge and picked up about 6 smaller fish throughout day; all to small gold headed nymphs except one to purple spider. Minimal hatch and no fish showing at all. Report book at the fishery detailed some good sized fish have been caught and would come back to try again.

One brown trout, approx 1/4 pound, returned. Grey klinkhamer. One rise missed. Otherwise hardly any fly/fish activity. Cold, windy, couple of showers.

Fist time fishing Gromaim. Found plenty of fish in all the beats. 20+ small browns up to 13in, 1 grayling and a few salmon parr most caught on green gold head spiders and klinkhammer. Very enjoyable day on the river apart from the cold weather. River very low in need of rain very soon.

Caught and released two brown trout 10" above bridge on Hornet Oak beat to New Zealand style klinkhammer and nymph, and a third smaller trout to a gold head nymph below bridge fishing upstream wets. A lot of varied fishing to explore and I would like to come back and try again later this year.

Blank. I struggled I'm afraid. It's several years since I was at Fenni Fach and I had forgotten what a very beautiful beat this is - with the odd specimen trout, no doubt, although I certainly found it difficult today. The temperature had dropped compared to the last days. A very few large dark olives hatched after lunch. I found just two rising fish...and put them both down.
