River in good condition but an awkward brisk downstream wind. Not much flylife visible. Fished small dries (klinkhammers, shuttlecocks) and took 3 small (4") trout. Switched to a GRH nymph and took a better (9") fish from a hole.

2ft 2ins on Llanstephan gauge and fairly coloured. One fairly fresh cock salmon, 30 inches, on single hook FC. Another about the same size lost earlier after 10 minutes play. Quite a few fish seen moving through.
Plus a late report from 15 May. Two salmon, 9 and 12 pounds, taken by Brian Skinner spinning on the same beat.

River full and fast flowing following recent rain, but lovely and clear. Sun and cloud and a few gusts of wind. Wading quite tricky in places and I nearly fell in a couple of times. Clouds of midges. Some mayfly and gnats.
A few trout rising in the pools and ripples. Caught 3 small 6-8in trout one on a pheasant tail dry. Switched to an Adams and that brought the fish up and then caught the biggest wild brown I've ever caught on a river. A fabulous fish of about 2.5 pounds. Most unexpected on this small river.
All the fish were returned unharmed. Another fantastic WUF beat!!And a gorgeous setting.

Rather high water and some colour. Few rises.

Fished for a couple of hours after work. Best point to access is the start of the beat at the bridge into the industrial estate, by the Fishtec tackle shop. Once in the river you can progress upstream. Note - when in the river banks are very high and fenced off, so you will have to wade back downstream to get out. Bear this in mind if the light is fading as the river bed is extremely rocky and has some surprisingly deep holes. I caught 4 trout 8 -10 inch and 2 x salmon parr. Fairly Low density of fish, each bigger pool holds maybe 1 -2 trout. One seen to 3/4 lb. Quite spooky and water is gin clear with a strong flow. Dry parachute adams brought fish up, nothing on deeply fished nymphs.

Found the river still coloured but pressed on with the fly, One lost in the bridge pool on 1" tube and another pull in the same area. River dropping in the morning only to rise again through the afternoon. One nice brown taken due to being badly hooked. A lot of fish seen running through all day , some big!! Looking forward to next visit in clear conditions.
