Fished the morning and fabulous to be back. Hot but still very windy with an Easterly breeze. Tried to fish the Christmas tree bank but struggled to cast in the wind. Did have a couple of attempted grabs on my Coch-y-bonddu. Moved to the other side where casting was easier. After numerous rises and numerous misses, finally had one on the dropper (Diawl Bach) and one on the point (Coch-y-bonddu) at the same time - that was a first for me! Don’t know whether I hit a shoal or something about the wind rising but definitely strange. No other fish after that. Lots of daddy long legs about of course kites circling above. Fabulous morning!

No lift from the expected thunderstorms so didn’t fish today.

beautiful and sunny day. managed to catch 7 brown trout using copper nymph. all very small between 0.3-05lb. Lost 4.

First time on this beat for a few years, I'd forgotten how much fun it was. Managed to hook and land ten fish, but missed many more takes.

Lovely day with the 6ft rod.

A bright, hot day with an east wind, but I had hoped that the previous evening’s thunderstorms would have freshened up the river & the fish. There was a small lift in water height with a slight tinge. Despite covering most of the lower half of the beat, prospecting with dries & nymphs in the absence of any rising fish, there was not a hint of a take all afternoon & evening. I did, though, enjoy a beautiful Spring day in a serene setting, with kingfishers & sandmartins going about their business.

Not a breath, bright sun, little water. Not a thing until the evening rise. Got into some good fish but lost them all. Lovely stretch. Much enjoyed.
