Arrived 6.15pm fished until 8 15 pm, lovely evening, water higher than expected. Nice colour, but fished only below wire section. One 6" trout dry fly, nothing seen rising. Great place very easy access

No fish caught. Very sunny but a very cold easterly wind.

No fish caught or hooked though fish were rising to various flies.
Bright sunny day but water very low. I was disappointed not to hook a fish after a marvelous previous day with excellent guiding of Chris Price on same beat when he caught a lovely brown trout of at least 3 lbs and I had hooked one of about 1 lb.

Arrived about 7.30 to overcast skies and no wind. Decided to go with the #8 Switch rod, full floating with a small #10 Black and Yellow on the end. There wasn’t enough water to work the fly until halfway down the beat at the ‘Tail of the Tail’; the Tail Pool itself was virtually static. From here on it was as easy a place to fish as you can imagine, ideal for beginners, with some interesting features. No sign of Salmon but there are a lot of Trout throughout and of quite a size too. Sun came through at 11.00 and everything went flat so decided to call it a day.
Note to self: try again another day when river is up at least a foot, so 0.6mtr on the gauge at Llanfoist http://www.gaugemap.co.uk/#!Detail/821 and put the lighter Trout gear in the car knucklehead!

Still water, on fly all day, plenty rising, but no bites.
Still a great day out

Some great swarms of gnats and a small number of upwings hatching. Low water and clear - seen some nice trout cruising and picking flies off the surface which were hard to get a fly in front of. Great day in all.

1 x 11 inch fish on a nymph, lost 2 fish on a dry fly and missed takes and lost a few fish on nymphs. Weather bright and sunny, river low and clear. Beautifull beat, plenty of wildlife.
