Had a good morning seen 1 salmon jump at the back of van stone pool. Looked back in evening but a swarm of bees was at the main entrance gate to dangers to open gate

Only one on … fished the whole stretch , fished one up from the lucky stone .. only one chub caught on ledger .. pretty quiet going … moved downstream to the end beat … very quiet there. In the end .. went back over the hill and fished the rocky swim by the hut near the bend. Trotting a float down picked up 9 chub in the end on corn

10 Chub

I spent one day on Home fishery catching a single barbel (6 lb) on luncheon meat.

A quick session this morning, Upper beat, between nine and twelve .... dank and pretty miserable this morning , made dry fly sport tricky !!! Who can blame the trout.... I wouldnt play ball either !! Still, sport was OK, they're a good stamp of fish on this Upper beat, with a couple of really decent eleven inch fish and two of about ten .... good for here !! I only went up to metallic foot bridge as above that it's just a Rocky gorge to be honest !!
Managed five to the the net, chunky strong fish too, they nailed my Para Adams with gusto !!! Two more slipped the hook, aaarrgggggggghhhhh !!!
As I'm writing this it's heavier rain now in Rhayader, down right autumnal if I'm honest !!! Berries,squirrels and leaves in the river are all the signs that the season is coming to a close !!!
I did enjoy the brief session this morning must admit, think I'll give either Llandewi or the Arrow a bash next week, seems that hardly anyone is bothering with the wild streams, shame as with a bit of work they're much better than a lot of the bigger beats on the Wye and Usk .... but I guess a lot of folks don't like the effort involved ..... cest la vie !!! Anyway, the ones who do enjoy them, leaves us with a huge array of choices ..... lovely job!! Must admit, I think a structured trimming on ALL WILD STREAMS NEEDS TO BE DONE !!!! A cracking morning, time to abuse the running machine and rower in the gym now !!! Lol !!!!
