A small lift to around 11” on the Llanstephan gauge this morning. Too coloured to tempt anything to the surface but picked up fish throughout the beat, mainly on cased caddis patterns. Trout to 12” and grayling 12-14”. All good strong fighting fish in good condition which were quickly released. Nice to feel a bit of a chill with the water for a change.

5 small trout 6>8 inches, 7 grayling again around 7>8 inches. One better size brown around 10 inches lost at the net.
All looked in healthy condition and returned unharmed. Size 16 black knat done the trick in the fast water.

Caught on nymphs in streamy water.

Slow going today. Did a bit of exploring on the right bank, finding the old path down to the boat pool. It wasn’t really worth it in these conditions though. A lot of gloopy weed and algae all along the river there. Managed to raise a couple of good grayling to an Adams klinkhammer elsewhere which was unusual.

A poor return by the angler considering there were numerous takes in the faster water upstream of Trerickett Bridge. Teams of red and olive nymphs attracted the trout and a few small grayling, seen briefly on the surface before they unhooked themselves! Not much depth to the water yet but it was noticeably cooler - which probably triggered the feeding after many weeks of hot and dry weather-affected fishing.
