Lyn Brianne Dam in drought!

Llangadog - River Sawde and a Chicken Farm!

 A River in drought and a Chicken Farm!

And another very frustrating night!

Despite there being plenty of fish about not one was prepared to take me on!

What a perfect night it was though? Warm - I fished in just a tee shirt till 2.00am! A full moon, which I like personally, lit the river up lovely. Fish were jumping from dusk till I left at about 2.00am. Fish of all sizes, some probably double figure. Plenty of flow, despite the low water, I thought I would get at least one but no.

Last night reminded me of the good old days when there were fish about! How to catch them is another question.

Another very frustrating night!

Tried every fly in the box last night (well except the one's I'll be trying tonight). Fishing is very frustrating at the moment I must say. There are fish around but they're just not taking! Daytime temperatures are in their 30's and night time about 16 or 17 degrees.

Tonight is my last night of this trip so I'm going small and see if that works? I know where there are at least 6 good fish (2 of them double figure fish I'd say) so I'm going to target them tonight. Lets hope it's 3rd night lucky for me tonight?

Fish about but difficult to temp!

I fished for 4 hours last night in conditions that seemed perfect! I didn't put a fleece on till 12.30am. There were quite few fish showing, on really big one but I failed to make proper contact with any of them. I had 1 pull and 1 pluck but that's all. There was no one else on the river from what I could see.

I concentrated my efforts on the flats above and below the ditch, the hedge pool and below the hedge. On my way back I fished the crossing pool to no avail.

Must try again tonight with different tactics!
