Lovely stretch of water, weather was 28*c, clear sky, tough going. All fish fell to heavy tungsten nymph.

River still pushing through a bit but clearing well. Nymphs early on and then onto dries from 2pm.

Beautiful day!! Such a well kept beat!!

River levels low so harder finding the fish. Few rises to dry flies over on the far banks.

Very tough day. Both the Wye and Usk are as low as we've known them and we've been coming 20 odd years. And this far up, the Wye is even lower. Still managed 15 fish, 6 on the nymph, the rest on an olive. Two fish in the 1 1/2 lb region.

I went down on an evening ticket and took a rod down for the dries , hoping for some spinner or sedge action. No joy though!
The river level was quite decent though ( fished the rhayader aa water above town the day before and it was astonishingly low!!) and the water was very cold. I guess they where running some water off the Elan reservoirs?
Lovely as ever though down there , an enjoyable evening out.
Advise a wading staff now if fishing the boulder strewn runs!
