In the first pools fished with heavy nymph. Used lighter nymphs on higher and less deep pools. Switched to dry fly when saw fish starting to rise, which was some time after half past two. The fish were mostly between 20 cms and 26-27 cms. I also caught one salmon parr.
I last fished Clettwr in Sept 20. The great difference this time were the number of tree trunks across pools. I counted about 12 or more over one particular pool! It needs to be cleared. There was a certain amount of rubbish lying around and I filled my fishing bag with as much as I could carry. Would it be an idea to urge all anglers to take a bag with them and collect some rubbish as their small contribution to keeping rivers clean?
Another important point is that I did not detect any sign marking the beat end and I don't know whether I strayed beyond it or not. I know that Felindre farm is marked on the map but I for one could not make it out.
Would it be possible in future to have the beat end clearly marked?

Three permits were purchased but due to illness only two fished. The river was flowing rapidly. No fish were hooked.

River slightly high and coloured with downstream wind but lovely beat with occasional hatches. Fish caught on a mixture of dry flies and gold heads with largest fish over 2lbs in good condition. Access from the bank difficult in places and depth made it difficult to wade to some parts.
