Good to be back on the Clettwr for a couple of hours. Pretty hard going but managed a trout.

No bites no fish

2 hatches of olives and march Browns browns, each lasting about an hour brought fish to the surface. However we struggled to find a successful pattern. Eventually a size 20 F fly with a GRHE body proved successful. Best fish was around 13in but a larger fish broke me! Given that it was cold with a NE breeze, a surprisingly good day.

First time I have fished this beat although I have fished the Ithon at the Severn arms a few years ago. It was a dull and much colder day than yesterday with a blustery wind. I fished up from the bottom of the beat the level was low and the river very silty on the river bed. I saw no signs of fish and had no response in the morning to nymphs wets or dries fished upstream. After lunch I fished back down with either two wets or a point nymph and a wet. In one small area I saw a few fish rising in a deeper pool under a tree. I managed one six inch brown on a wet but saw no further rises. I still think fishing is deteriorating in all the rivers and im not sure if I want to keep spending on beats with no success.

Got to the water late teatime for a couple of hours from the bank , beat and water level looking v accessible/fishable, brisk & cold downriver wind with little fly life coming off. Two smallish WBT to spiders swung across Lady Alexander’s Catch. Lovely beat !
