Very tricky wild beat. The water level was very low and unfortunately the bridge in Duhonw is out completely for 6 weeks, so instead of a 5 minute trip the other end of of the beat, its a 40 min car journey. Frustrating.

Stopped off at the Edw, which looked a little too high and coloured after a heavy shower, and went on to the Duhonw, which was clear but running at quite a pace. Fished up between the two road bridges with nymphs which produced a couple of small brownies and a salmon parr.

Well felt pretty energetic so mooched off to the Duhonw today , arrived at half nine , looked a bit low , but water still pushing through whilst looking over the bridge at the parking area . . . Had a quick chat with the lady in the garden of the cottage , new owners , she seemed very pleasant . . .

Bimbled Down to the rough start of the beat , strewth the water is clear , and could see some small skittish fish pinballing around smaller pools , thinking this was going to be a tough one . But sometimes tough is good , keeps you on your toes , which hones ones skills . . . . . . Mmmmmmm !!!!!

Anyway , casting into the fast water of the pools nothing initially , and four good pools dealt with , with care and attention , not a sniff !!! Sized down my Parachute Adams , and the glides seemed to show more interest , saw a splashy rise about half ten , my progress this morning was ever so slow , wading like Neil Armstrong on the moon !!!! First fish , was a beauty , good rise on the Adams , and a fish of about nine inches happy days , always nice to bring the first one to hand !!!

The second glide , again , prospecting the dry , and bang , another nice little fish , perhaps seven inches , third and fourth , similar locations , till a couple of hours later , then the trout were taking splashy hits at the pool heads . The size of the fish was only about five or six inches , but caught fair and square on the dry !!!! And lots missed today it seemed , lightening quick the small brownies , so I did pretty well really , with seven brought to hand .

Ventured about hundred yards up passed second bridge , where it turns into another version of the Clettwr . Good fun , and the last fish was from the smallest pool up there , feisty little chap , about six inches , hammered the Para Adams , great fun . I would say it's really in desperate need of two or three good days rain now , like wise I'm sure the Edw is looking a bit tired as well , hopefully this week may fatten up these wild streams , we shall see , a fun five hours in the Duhonw valley , back when it's flowing a bit more healthy . . . . . . . . Spot on !!!!!!!!

The river was a good height but running crystal clear after the mid week deluge.
8 trout 4 to 8 inches all caught on a copper beaded nymph fished duo.
A few olives hatching after 1 when the sun was out and the temperature rose a few degrees.

Gave the Duhonw a bash this morning , three hours there , was superb fun , River nice height when I tackled up with my usual small streams outfit at about half nine , things looked promising as I left the truck and mooched down to the beat start . . . . . .

I did notice from about half ten some LDO' s already on the move , good to see and maybe boding well for later . . . I initially fish a single gold head nymph , Holy Grail , and my first Duhonw brownie was from the tail of a deep pool great little scrapper , and about eight inches , looked tubby and in great shape , seeing as its so early here , and the water was still cold . . . .

Second fish of the morning was further up , near the first bridge you come too , with the strange array of culverts under the bridge to release the water , great scrap again , this time tail of that pool , on the Parachute Adams , really hammered it too , again about eight inches , I was a little surprised , but there was a good smattering of Olives by then , probably mid day ish !!!

I did do a kick sample of the river bed into my net , and its full of life , lots of gammurus , and stonefly creepers , the odd caddies ; great to see . . . A really fun three hours , will be back when it warms up here , and I think surface sport will be fun , if the one I had on the top was to go by , spot on. Back soon !!!!!!

After weeks of hot weather and no rain I knew that it wouldn’t be a good time to fish… but I had a free day… you know how it is. Slightly overcast compared to the last few weeks of blue skies. Muggy, but not too bad, but the stream was (as to be expected) down to its bare bones. It was a bit like fishing in puddles, and as the Duhonw flows mainly over rock the water was exceptionally clear, which made it near impossible not to scare fish away. The element of surprise was non existent.

And I saw lots of very skittish fish, flying around the few pools there were. I tried dry for a bit, and had a bit of interest, but reverted back to the tried and tested nymph off a Klinkhammer indicator. Most of the fish (small up to 6”) were caught in the morning session. Had to leave around 6pm, not sure I would have caught any more. I thought the pools below the main bridge road may have coughed up a few more fish, but no. A great day though.
