A very bright day in low water made fishing hard especially as I had to leave by 6pm. One trout caught and several lost. Several fish seen lying at the bottom end of the beat in no more than six inches of water. Extremely spooky!

River low and very few fish rising during the day when hot and sunny. However, pleased to catch a handful on a deer hair emerger during a dour afternoon. It was a different story in the evening when the fish started taking the abundant Mayfly and I had another 9 fish in a short time despite being distracted watching the swans giving a piggy back to their 8 cygnets. An excellent day on a lovely beat.

Several fish seen heading off up river, managed one nice brown trout on mayfly. Nice place and plenty of water to go at

Lovely beat, river at its summer low, lots of insect life including a mayfly hatch. One 10 inch brown and four lost. I had trouble presenting my mayfly as it was my first time casting such imitations. I will return to beat as it is an easy place to fish when low.

Very low water. Few fish showing on top. Fish taken from the run-in at the head of a pool on nymph

Nice afternoon fishing - river very low - lots of activity on the surface but only a few bites to a mixture of flies and nymphs.

With great regret, I did not fish. Slightly optimistically thought rain was coming in over the weekend and early this week - nothing major came. Level sitting at 7" so cut my losses and saved on the petrol costs at least. Less optimism and more realism needed on future weather predictions.

9 x trout 6-12 inches, Monnow Gosling, mostly around 10-11 inches. A cloudy morning and I fished up as far as Lyonshall Wood, when light rain started. I walked back via Titley Junction which is becoming a sort of railway museum. Super conditioned Arrow trout - I suppose they should be fat by the end of May.
