Fished the Cothi. Lovely beat. Baking hot day , fished mid morning, and returned about 8pm. Fished dry fly only, just a few fish rising and elk hair caddis worked well in the evening .

NOT A BITE ON WORM. FLOAT AND BOTTOM FISHING. 1 TAKE ON SPINNER. SURPRISED HOW HIGH THE WATER WAS. LIMITING FISHING AREAS TO GO.

Weather - warm sunny
Water - Clear but shallow.
Duration - 13:00 to 17:00
Location - 200 yds downstream of Green Bridge (South Bank)
Float fished worm trotting. Depth circa 3-4 feet. About 8 missed possible bites. One confirmed catch circa 8” long and roughly 8-10oz. My first ever Tees Trout and my first trout for 50+ years.

Hardly any swims usable. Does the Wye and Usk ever check that the fishery owners do any work to make swims usable. At £25 a time it’s a disgrace.

Booked an evening ticket but got badly delayed by traffic after work - only one lane on Severn Bridge west-bound (for no apparent reason, sigh). However I did get a couple of hours in and to be honest it was hot early on so I probably ended up fishing at the right time anyway. There were a few olives and spinners around which encouraged the trout to feed when the temperature dropped - caught three off the top on spinner patterns, could have had a few more which came off the hook. Lovely beat as always, kingfisher hunting next to me in the shallows of one section and repeatedly taking small fish to it's burrow in the opposite bank, lots of sand martins and a common sandpiper there too, and was nice to meet the owner and one of the neighbouring season rods on the other bank for a chinwag - an idyllic summer evening which more than made up for the long travel delay!
