Dropped in for a quick evening session on this very peaceful beat I find and the water was chugging through very nicely here and with just a tinge of colour. Access in general and parking still good here too. Very quiet with no real fly and fish initially but some may spinner and olive spinner came out late on and a few fish moving. Had just the one to hand , a good fish and the usual Arrow loveliness. Bounced a few more off too, hey ho, and was fab to see a sizeable number of Swallows shooting up and down the river mopping up the spinners for a good while so you just have to stop and marvel at them and had a very up close and personal encounter with the Otter late on . Stuck its head out of a weedbed at the end of the rod tip.!
All just marvellous stuff!!

Cold 10c, river quite high and coloured. Lost one grayling to a nymph. No surface action. Later on the campsite I was staying on in Llanthony a major mayfly hatch

strange colour on river , nothing seen or touched

0.17m on the gauge, however, still with a bit of pace and colour . Managed 5 small trout, all on caddis. Even though many upwings and mayfly about there was very little rising, so my fall back position is always a caddis.
