Twas hot when i arrived at the Hundred House bridge pull in ....Lovely casting the gossamer six foot two weight rod, after quite a few bouncing days on Nantymoch snd Claerwen Reservoir, with sublime numbers of Bibio Pomonae in abundance ....Huge numbers caught for my clients...Happy faces to be honest .... Although, strangely, yesterday was a tough day .... still brought fish to the net but much slower than previous days on the Bibio ......
Today was a fab four hours ... strewth it's strong sun today... 31 degrees on my truck wen I got back, for a well earnt diet coke....
Lovely dry fly sport today.... the usual.summer jungle here, but I love it to be honest lots of catapult casts , casting on my knees etc etc.... great savage takes ...Nothing huge, the usual stamp for here, and first time in a while, I didn't see a mink either .....I did however see thr kingfisher five or six times up and down , superb to see.
Seventeen or eighteen to my net ... great sport, and a hectic few hours ....ohhh before I forget ..Jungle Formula repellent, was well and truly needed here, lots of horse flies about !!! Anyway, back to The Ponderosa, a none client day, so this callsign may take a bimble into Rhayader and indulge in a cold pint of Thatchers Haze .....Be rude not to hey !!!! Lol .......

Well, I intended a quick morning visit due to impending heat wave but was curtailed even earlier due to a call from the mrs re our chocolate Lab being taken ill but…. 4 wbt to the net within an hour 8 -10 inches would suffice in any fisherman’s book I would say ? These guys are super quick on the take and feisty once on, hence the net ! A beautiful stretch of the Edw, Hergest on Saturday for more of the same ! Btw, Archie seems ok now ????

Really nothing there. Tried dries, emergers, swung wet flies and nymphs. Didn't get a solid bite all day. That said there is ample reason it may not have fished well. It was quite hot and bright.
Enjoyed my day none the less and the Abernant beat is beautiful and likely a great spot under the right conditions.

Brutally hot and sunny day!
Unsurprisingly the fish were in the deeper, faster water.
Fished from 1500 until about 1800.

Only bite of the morning, to a couple of krill pellets, but felt fortunate and thankful in the extremely hot conditions. Left at 13:30, just to hot!

On trotted bread flake. Temperature was miserably hot. Left after a few hours. Can get a wash off if in flood but not if too hot. Poor really
