A wonderful day on such a picturesque beat. Plenty of insect life and steady rises throughout the day. As a novice I always find this to be a tough beat, tormented by fish rising but not taking despite numerous pattern changes. Think I need some more coaching… one very large trout jumped clean out of the water 10 feet away from me. I eventually found a dry pattern that gained interest, 3 knocks and one brownie landed that wasn’t much bigger than the whitebait I had at the Seven Stars in Aberedw last night which by the way is a cracking pub and the rooms are good.

River low, clear, and the sun very bright, but a nice leash of trout for Phil Travers of Gloucester, 15.5 inches, 15 inches and 12 inches, on a size 18 Grey Duster fished on long fine leader.

Two on a PTN fished under a klinkhammer NZ Style, one on the dry. All from the deeper holes. Good steady hatch throughout the day of an assortment of fly - beyond my entomological abilities to ID them.

What a difference a little water in the river makes. Top day with easily over 50 trout on dries between us. We had 6 trout around the pound mark and my fishing partner Scott had a cracker at 1 3/4 pound. This fish had broken him off only 10 minutes prior to him hooking it again and he was able to retrieve his jingler
from first time round.

Didn’t hold out much hope on arrival, brilliant sunshine, 20deg and gin clear low water, a few fish seen but very skittish, plenty of hatch but lovely 8” brownie on a blue winged olive the only rise of the day, always love returning to Penpont irrespective of the catch, just a lovely place to spend the day.
