Very frustrating 4 hours on Olchon today. Fished CDC mayfly emerger the whole beat, hooking thirty or so and hook slipping on 50% of takes. Those that stuck were of a good size for the Olchon, all between 9-12 inches. One of those days!

16 or so to hand in the few hours on the Olchon. Klink and dink in the faster water and picked up five or six until fish started rising to the swarms of midges. Switched to size 18 cdc f-fly and picked off a further 10 then abruptly all rises ceased and with that so did the feeding frenzy, very bizarre, several olives on the water. Could of been more, had several shake the hook. All in all an enjoyable few hours.

Fished for about three hours using pheasant tail and copper head nymph patterns. No signs of fish rising and unfortunately no takes. Found access difficult due to fencing close to river with few access points.

Warm, sunny, river very low. Fished for an hour then changed beats. Lovely little stream, could do with a stile or two over barbed wire fencing, especially at first large scour pool.

Fished from 12pm till 3pm. Caught 4 in first hour to nymph then switched to deer hair emerged dry for last few hours. Slow till 1.30pm then they switched on rising freely to the dry with a further 16 or so coming to hand. Packed up and headed to Upper Longtown for an hour.

Booked this to fish after Lower Longtown, even less water in the Olchon. Tiny little stream this one, I have seen larger water leaks!
Curry was good in the Crown, and my dog enjoyed his walk so all was not lost!

Two perfect 9" WBTs - one on a Parachute Adams, the other on a GRHE. Lovely to see so many kingfishers.

Couple of hours on the Olchon this morning. All trout taken on copper bead head nymph. Did not manage to nab any of the larger fish today hooked and lost a few. All trout between 7- 10 inches. The water was carrying a lot of colour due to overnight rain. Fly on water was minimal with only one rise which was covered with nymph and bought to hand!

Muddy conditions, loads of patience still brought 4 trout to hand on a para adams.

Just dropped in for a few hours on a windy afternoon hoping to hit a mayfly hatch. Water levels quite "user-friendly" with the Tafalog guage on the Honddu at 0.31m for guidance. Fished through fairly quickly and didn't find too many rising fish. Surprisingly few mayfly, but enough to get fish looking up and took all fish on a mayfly pattern - all about 8 - 10 inches.
