Fished the stretch above the viaduct at Aberglais Inn - fast flowing, nearly all rocks, some deep pools, hard wading. My old legs were knackered by the time I reached the footbridge! Managed to land 6 at 6 -9" having tempted many more to at least have a look at the small para adams and rust klink. Interesting that all the feeder springs and tiny streams were still flowing.

After fishing the Beacons reservoir in the morning I decided to have a first look at this beat as I was so close . I parked at Vaynor church and fished a couple of pools by the footbridge. Good numbers of Olives hatching when I arrived around 2 pm and saw a fish rising just above the bridge. Caught that one on the second cast then hooked and lost another shortly after.

Great water and lovely fish, but tough going in places. Pity about the rubbish and litter on the banks and in the river. Rising river and heavy rain at intervals made for a tricky day. Three small WBT all taken on black and green bead head nymph and safely released.

First ever visit to the Taff, parked at Aberglais Inn. Road down to the river crosses a lovely vertical sided canyon with impressive waterfalls, especially with the river running high. Downstream is a fast rocky river, but with a cold upstream wind there were few olives coming off. No fish rising and despite using dries and nymphs did not get any takers. However, most of the local dog walkers also seemed to be fishers, and were very happy to chat and I picked up many tips for the future. So, a blank but will definitely return when it's a bit warmer and the river less speedy!

For those of you who like a wild stream the Taf Fechan is well worth a visit at this time of year. If you can make the visit to coincide with the Pontsticill Reservoir just over flowing so much the better. The wild Tout take readily in these conditions and small flies Nymphs fished downstream can be very productive.

Beautiful small trout river that is clearly well looked after by the local angling association. There was a pretty good flow of water in the river without being overly turbid. Fished using a duo arrangement (nymph beneath a dry fly). In the morning caught on the nymph (PTN and later replaced with a red tag nymph), then caught trout on the dry fly (elk hair caddis) in the afternoon. Most trout caught between 7 1/2 inch and 10 inch. Fished upstream from Clun Bridge. 1 fish taken; the rest returned.
