no fish today

A nice beat with parking on the bank. Bright sunshine and a strong downstream breeze made it challenging, but eventually after being broken by one fish and having little snatches from 5 or 6, I managed to hook one. Will return.

Another session on an old favourite, fished today midday to five bells , was 21 degrees in my truck dash when I set up .... ohhhhhhhhh what a difference low and clear makes .... Tricky trout today, lots of very slow wading !!! A hot sultry day, not quite so many mayfly as the other day, but the trout were still smashing the duns then the spinners.....
Started at the very bottom of the beat ... Fishing selective pockets, right up to the bridge.... picking up three or four on the dries .....
Above the bridge up into the jungle, with those slow deep pools was fun,. Up past Glan Edw farm the stream is fantastic ..... Great Savage smash takes to my Wulff patterns .... superb!!! Sixteen or so to the net .... sizes six to eleven inches ..... a few good Edw fish this afternoon too ..... Great fun !! Real tussle on the two weight six foot rod .... love it !!!
This is a long beat you need to fish/ wade slowly .... on several occasions this afternoon I'd gone past an area, only to see a splashy rise tight in the margins behind me !!! Had a couple with a downstream snake cast .... tricky to connect sometimes !! Still fun having a go, and that's what its all about !! I did some experimenting and put on a size twenty f fly .... were the trout Zoned in just on Danica ?????..... definitely not !! These opportunist stream trout are no easy push over, but a well presented dry will see them brought to the net !!! Actually I spent lots of my time redressing my fly this afternoon ..... along with the fish to the net, plenty didn't make it, and politely released themselves...... how kind !!! Lol !!
Anyways, another fun sortie ..... hitting the squirrels later this week here .... start making a dent in their population !!! Home time, and a cold bottle of Katy cider ..... sorted!!!

Beautiful day, sun and blue skies. Plenty of fish rising but difficult to tempt even with numerous fly changes. Eventually caught on para Adams. Will return as a gorgeous spot.
