No bites.

Two anglers, both intent on trotting for Chub and Barbel. Conditions were superb, with good water levels, nicely overcast, and a little rain the day prior to freshen things up after a hot spell. On arrival, we were very frustrated to find that there were only two wadeable swims suitable for trotting with a centrepin. One Barbel caught (~8.5lb) on the first trot down and another hooked but lost later on. No sign of any small/medium chub and no other bites other than the three fish caught (Chub 4lb, eel) and lost. The water level dropped by ~6 inches whilst we were there making the first swim un-trottable. Overall, very disappointed by the lack of opportunity for our preferred method and not sure the beat is worth the £25 day ticket cost whatever method used. There are numerous other venues to sit behind a ledger rod, in equally pleasant settings, at a fraction of the cost. Not somewhere we'd come back to.

3 anglers fished, 1 barbel at 5lbs to corn, all chub to meat plus one 2lb eel to meat. Weather drizzly for best part of day, not much action. Because this stretch is not maintained / lack of available bank swims we were restricted to try different areas.

Nice day on the river. Water clarity increased over night. Trout caught on the nymph.

Decided on the lovely little Clywedog Brook again today.... 15 degrees when I parked up at half ten .... lots of sedge on the go and olives ... yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss !! Lol .....
Usual small streams outfit for here ....I think its surgically part of my hand now ..... ha ha ha !!
Anyway, great sport, lots of in and out here at the mo ......and fallen trees and debris....where I got a cast out, good Savage takes to my Para Grernwells , lovely job .... feisty hard as nails brownies ....love it !!! Eleven made it to the net, a few long range releases, as expected..... well, long range here is six yards or less !!!! Ha ha !!!
Kingfisher up abd down three times, just a joy to see ...fantastic.... think the otter had been active on the side of one of the pools , fresh pooh and lots of prints and water on pebbles ......
I got out at the Elan Valley pipes at just gone two .... a really pleasant few hours, after a day guiding on Claerwen Reservoir yesterday.... everything always seems closed in and Lilliputian, after the massive nature of the Elenydd ......
A fun few hours dry fly sport as always, in a blissfully quiet little valley, happy days.....
