Fished with John Lewis from top run through to bridge. Fished sub surface spiders of grannom and March Brown pattern size14 with great success landing 12 fish each between 11 and 3". The fish were mainly small though contacted one in woodstream of around 3lb which tore line off at will and decided it was not going to play ball. Eventually lost it after about 10 mins on 3lb line which was disappointing.

Blue sky all day and surprisingly warm by the afternoon. My first visit and the river didn't appear to be running out of the ordinary. Wind was blowing from the east and down the river.
There was some fly action, but very little over the water, only saw one rise all day.
The only fish caught was caught on a nymph in the morning, a lovely brown trout of about 1.5lb in weight. I caught it on an LBJ (little brown jobbie).

Wall to wall sunshine today, and it's a bank holiday! A couple of flurries of March Browns, but few LDOs. Four good trout including a beautiful eighteen incher. All on nymph. All returned.

Warm at last and felt like trouting weather all be it a bit bright as the day went on. The wading is challenging here especially up through the wooded sections with a few heart in mouth moments if you want to switch banks. Well worth it however even if I do always seem to get a bit wet and bruised on this beat. Two trout to pheasant tail nymph in the morning fished as a duo on a long leader but the real excitement came at lunch time with about a 20 minute hatch of march browns. The two streamy runs I was in at the time had 3-4 large trout each rolling at the surface and flashing silver bellies. One of 1lb 12oz taken on a brown klinkhammer and a couple missed before it all went quite. Two more nice fish on GBGRHE in the afternoon capped a very satisfactory day.

Good LDO hatch for hour and the fish went nuts, got my fix.

Lovely day for humans and fish probably but no fish caught...

Nice day on the Clettwr, half a dozen fish to a GRHE and olive CDC. Bigest aroung 8". Lots of wood fallen in the steam giving it a very Canadian feel but making casts into some pools tricky. Downstream parts of the gorge can be hard going but well worth the effort.

No salmon caught but lots of trout activity and to top it all, an Osprey seen overhead.

Very bright and warm for time of year. River clear and reasonably low. Fished from 10am til 4pm. Very little movement seen all day, and only 1 Brownie to approx 1.5lb. Lovely fish taken on an LBJ. Wading easy, lots of wildlife, and a pint of fine cider at Bell before home to wife and kids.
Great day.
