Very low water as could be expected. Plentiful fly life, sedge, cranefly, olives, stones but only three or four rises all the time I was there. I did oversleep though and get there a wee tad late. Was hoping for an explosion of olives but it never happened. Flies used, cdc emerger. Would of probably connected to more nymphing. Near the top of the brook someone has thrown what looks like a whole tree in a bundle which is blocking your way upstream.

10 to hand and a few shook the hook. All caught on size 22 beadhead. water desperately low, started chucking it down as I left so hopefully a few days of rainy weather will bring them on.

Water very low moving at a snails pace! Decided from the off to fish single size 22 beadhead nymph and picked up 10 between 6 and 9 inches. Very few rising fish today. Those that were rising were spooked at the most delicate casts. It started raining heavily as I left and still is as I'm writing this at 9.30pm. Just what the doctor ordered.

Fished for a couple of hours, five to seven o clock. Lovely evening with some mayfly coming off.
Three trout, 8 -10 inches, two from the large pool at the bottom of the beat near the junction with the Monnow. A few fish rising but couldn't get past the Corner pool about half way up the beat.

Just an hours late afternoon jaunt. Lots of mayfly duns and spinners. Mayfly buzz on point doing the trick.
Fish between 8 & 14" in fine fettle. Rose many, caught 4. The 14" fish moved a long way cross-downstream from its lair to smash the dry and bolt back. Maybe 2 meters or so! clearly enjoying the feast.

All fish took olive dry, and black f- fly. lost a proper clunker which was attached to tanago rod for 5-10 minutes and at the net spat hook, easily a pound and quarter. Found the tanago rod very useful today with limited backcast on fly rod.

All cath and release. The river was in very good condition.
Fished with dry flies. Only one problem, in one of the pools I had to swim (10 metres free swim) due to new fence built in one side and a big ground slope on the other side.
There was 100m upstream from the wastewater treatment plant.
Otherwise, it was a great day.
