Nice stretch of river, water was low. Friendly farmer (and sheep), easy parking, 1 minute from the river.

Did not catch anything but will come back.

An evening session, with the cold northerly easing at around 6pm. 7 trout in total, all on cdc olive emerger patterns. The two biggest were 20 and 19.5 inches, weighed in the net at 3lb 3oz and 3lb 1oz. Another 18" fish weighed 2lb 8oz. The others were all 13-15". All released.

Weather was great and fish were rising but unfortunately not at my flies. Shaun was of great help showing me some tricks and the setup to with the season.

13 hours of fishing and nothing ahhhhh

Well, I did intend to give the Lugg at Litton a bash, but I wanted to have a nose at the shooting that has been approved by the farmer at the Cregrina beat ....Overrun with grey squirrels hammering the feed out of the sheep creeps ....I can position myself on High ground, and pop them in the field before they arrive at the feeder ..... nice and quiet, with minimum disturbance......
Anyway , I then fished eleven till half three there,
only the bottom of the beat to the bridge, wasn't that stifling heat too.....only about 11 degrees and overcast too, nice !! Some risers and dry fly sport was good, in the smallest of pocket water too ...fun, fun, fun .....She's still very very low, and that bedrock in places is like ice..... A surreptitious approach here folks is muchly needed ......
Tiny dries scoring again .... There was a serious amount of surface activity from two, till half three, which took the lions share to the net ....Fifteen, all on dries, ranging from six to eleven inches, fantastic sport in fairness , lovely on the six foot , one weight rod !!!
Lots of olives and Large brook duns on parade and to be honest the Edw fish weren't that finicky, putting my dry bang on their noses, they were nailing it, just fab stuff !!!
So, overall a productive session, I'll get in position one of these early mornings, at sparrows fart, and make a dent in the grey squirrels population here !!!
A fun Sunday..... time for a stroll into Rhayader now I think, and a cold pint of Thatchers, sat outside The Lamb and Flag ...... lovely job !!!!!
