A bad days fishing is better then a good days work.

Both caught on dry fly. Difficult conditions due to high and discoloured water from heavy rain

Tough day fishing with strong wind, bright sky and no rising fish but we managed to extract 5 fish French nymphing, one of which was an absolute monster. Good day on the water under the guidance of Chris Price.

Third and final day of a long awaited fishing trip. Third day of chilly, cloudy skies, rain and a scarcity of fly life and surface action. Hey ho!
I love Dinas, easy to find, your car needs a bit of clearance to park near the river. Plenty of variety and I know it holds a very good head of trout.
Not a massive nymphing fan, but needs must. Caught and returned 3 hard fighting wbt to about 12". Then approaching the end of a short but enjoyable session it happened. Hooked into a fish that just dug its fins in and sat in the current, immovable on my 3lb leader. Then it tore off downstream, taking me down to the backing. I had to exit the river and run down the bank to recover line. I honestly thought I had hooked a salmon. After a 10 minute tussle, praying my light tippet would hold out, I netted a stunning 4lb (estimated against my other top 2 giant wbt's), 22 inch or thereabouts hen wbt.
After a quick pic I held her in the shallows to revive her. I could not believe how fresh this fish was after a such a muscular scrap. A few gulps, a few writhes then a kick of that powerful tail and off. Wonderful and her future contribution to the wbt gene pool preserved.
Still shaking as I write this, won't catch a bigger wbt this season, or indeed, for some time to come. What a river, what a fish, what a day!

Lovely beat, but only managed to net 3 fish on a GRHE. Few rises, tried few dry flies but none taken. Stuck to nymphing most of the time. Missed a few. Will be back again to try my luck.
