A fun, if not a little rushed this afternoon, as I am taking the .22 out later for a bit of bunny bashing ... Rabbit Madras imminent !!!! Mmmmmm !!!
Anyway, the usual quiet areas when I started at midday!! Otter activity again !!! .... A rather annoying wind too .... gggrrrrrr !! Other than that, great dryfly sport, again !! Forgot my secateurs ... darn it !!! But managed snapping quite a few annoying boughs hanging over the brook !!!! A nice happy medium if you know what I mean, not to make an unsightly mess, just nip off annoying new growth!!! There is quite a bit, but better do a bit than none at all I say.......
Fish looking up still, and keen to nail a well presented dry !! Para greenwells and small Wulffs doing the biz today.... River at a nice height, with that Ithon tinge to it, and still a few mays flying about by two o clock ....
Eleven maybe twelve made it to my net, a couple of really nice eleven Inch fish too in that tally ...A futher four or five came off after a brief tussle !! Must admit, the fish go barmy here when hooked , big or small, great fun on the six foot, one weight rod !!!
I do love this little secretive overgrown brook, warts and all !!! Tis a firm fav along with the Edw and the Arrow I'd say..... cracking stuff .. Didn't see Tarka during the three hours I was there, but plenty of fresh prints in the bankside silt !!
A cracking few hours, as always on the streams, out with the rifle later , hopefully bag a few bunnies .... Then a bottle of Rev. James is waiting for this callsign ...... Happy days !!!!

We had a fantastic 6 hrs fishing on this beat, some really great pools holding plenty of trout. I managed 9 and lost several others, my uncle also had several takes. Best flies of the day were pink tag nymph and small sedge dry.

Two brownies of around one pound and two of half a pound caught on Rhosrhyd. One brownie of about two and a half pounds caught on Glandwgan. All five fish returned.

2 fish caught but not landed. River conditions low, weather sunny and windy

Very quiet with few rises. Fish easily spooked and no luck with nymphs in faster water. Very picturesque.

Common Carp around 6lb , lost 2 at the bank

1 x brown trout 11'', 1 x brown trout 15''. Both caught on size 16 Tups Indispensable. Very nice beat, had to leave as the best of the evening rise was getting underway.
