East cold wind made it difficult, no hatch, a few on the nymph.

A fine-looking beat, but rather quiet - a trickle of olives, fish not taking the nymph it seems. Too cool? Too early? Too late? Too high? Too low?

Difficult day with sporadic oncers. One decent 17" fish that wrapped me in some re-bar on the river bed twice. Still a fun day as always.

Much enjoyed our day. A 6lb salmon was seen on the beat.

I grilse only 3lbs from Butts pool on size 12 black and silver fly. A very large fish lost spinning with single hook line broken last Wednesday at Dan-y-Park in coloured water before major rise. Fish estimated at late 20's.

Oh - what could have been! My final hour from 7.30 saw the river come to life with an evening hatch - during this time I caught 2 x 14 inch trout in the upper section of the beat rising near the far bank to take a CDC olive - what I would have given for it to have been like that all day.
The morning and most of the afternoon was cold and very windy; so much so I retreated to the comfort of the car for a couple of hours. The only highlight of the lower beat was seeing an otter swim straight towards me in the section of water above the fishing hut - now there's someone who can fish!

2 x BT on spiders in faster water, during afternoon (both around 10 inches). Unfortunately had to leave just as evening rise began.
