A real ripper again today !!! With drought conditions now in a lot of Wales, tis time to really think about where to go, with also NRWs warning on water temps, 20degrees and game fishing stops simple as that!!!!!! ....The open rivers heat up quickly.... Bear it in mind folks, don't just aimlessly book a beat !!! I fished the little Clywedog again, cause its heavy tight canopy keeps it cool .... I temp dipped it, reading 14 DEGREES ....PERFECT !!!!
The fishing today between ten snd half two, was tough , but mega fun on tiny dries again.... There's no place for nymphs here ... to much disturbance and accuracy is key to success too, plus its not deep enough , along most of the beat ....
Five wee brownies to the net, including a futher two salmon parr and a dinky four inch grayling ...all nailed my dry fair and square ...great fun ....
A hot one today ..... was glad to get back to my truck, and a well earned cold diet coke ...Just the biz after a long stealthy wade upstream....Rain badly needed, but, it really tunes your finesse casting to a really high standard when your targeting brownies in seven inches of clear water !!! Right, cider time.... have a goooooooood weekend folks !!!!

Very low. The beach was being used as a recreation centre, but managed to find a couple of swims at the end of the beat. Lots of barbel flashing gave the best swims away!

River was very low (reading 0.358 M on the Nat Resources Website). And the weather forecast hot and bright. We were on the water at 08:15 and shortly after saw a fair number of fish rising/jumping. One Brownie circa 14" taken on a size 20 GRHE with a red tag at 09:30 down the left side of Wood Stream. We stopped fishing at 11:50 as the air and water temp were continuing to rise. Lunch at the Chainbridge Inn was good and the service was super friendly.

Its clear that even though they are reluctant to be caught there are plenty of fish in this beat; I will definitely be back but when its cooler and there is more water in the river. My 2 guests loved it too.

Hot and bright all day, fishing tough. Tried most fishable pegs during the day. Fish caught towards the end of the day on meat from the end of the faster water at the bottom end of the beat. Other was an eel.

River low but running, lots of green algae, 2 nibbles 4/5 rises, lots of geese

Spent the morning on the bottom with a feeder and pellet. Was completely unfishable due to the green algae that was wrapping around my tackle. After lunch time i decided to roll meat which caught me around 12 chub.
