River in spate and coloured. By 5pm it had dropped to 2.5ft at the gauge in Brecon. Water clarity 15cm. Decided to have a go at about 17:30. Fished the slacks for an hour and managed to pull 3 out on the bugs! All fish returned.

1x 9" Brown taken on a beaded hares ear nymph just below the bridge.
Small hatch around middle of the day, lots of fish rising but couldn't get anything on a dry.

Cloudy cold day with a slight breeze. Water clarity was excellent with a strong flow. 3 WBT on deep fished nymphs in fast water and 3 on small dries in a sparse hatch.

Bright day warming up after a cool spell. March brown hatch below the road bridge. Olives/LDOs in smaller numbers, fish not switched on to them. Best fish 14"

Weather would be best described as austere, with a cold east wind. Thankfully the river had fined down from the previous day's torrent. A few march browns and LDOs hatching in the quieter water, cheered the soul and reminded me that spring is on its way, after all. Twelve brown trout to 15" all safely returned: most, but not all, on nymph.
