Clear and very low water with not much fly activity. Managed only 4 WBT around 10” mark, 5 small grayling and a couple of salmon parr. All came to dry Sedge #18. Poor catch comparing to my previous visits. Cock salmon spotted by the Stone which is always a bonus.

Low, clear and sunny until late afternoon. Very little fly and very few rising fish until late afternoon and evening. The evening rise was still going at 8.45 p.m. The fishing was really hard until mid-afternoon with just three grayling and three trout to show for my endeavours: had fish on olive and HE emergers and two on a PTN fished Kiwi style. Nothing on upstream nymphs. The rest of the day was altogether more fruitful and I finished with 24 grayling and seven trout - some rising fish and many risen and all on various HE emergers. Trout to 12" but most smaller, and some really nice grayling - I had five 14-15" fish, several of 11-13" and the others 8-10". All fish returned. A lovely day on a lovely bit of water.

3 wbt - 6-8". Fished variety of wet and klinkhammer with nymph under. Lots of small fish takes mainly on edge of fast water. Saw evidence of two larger fish but very quiet all day. Watched an otter for some time working over the pool at the top of the beat.

Fished early morning until lunchtime. Hooked and lost 2 salmon, second one mid teens in weight. All very frustrating - still waiting for my first Wye salmon.
Other salmon showing and it would appear there are plenty of fish in the beat today. Water visibility no more than a couple of feet so if it clears a bit more tomorrow could be very good indeed.

8 Brown Trout 1 Grayling - 8". Largest BT was a good 9" rest 7" and under. Good day even leaky with leaky wellie.

Well I thought conditions should have been perfect - shows what I know. Fished early and late but only two trout and two shad caught. Of Salmon - no sign at all.

A short visit due to copious amount of rainfall. Managed to catch and return 2 trout about 10" and a small grayling on a wet(!)Partridge & Orange.

We had 3 rods on the Abernant beat and three rods on the Pwll y Faedda beat between 6 of us. An excellent sunny day.
Abernant catch: 10 trout and 2 grayling caught mainly on goldheads and czech nymphs. Biggest trout about 1lb.
Pwll y Fedda catch: 5 trout, 7 shad, 1 chub and 2 grayling. Shad were up to 2lb.
A variety of flies were successful including goldhead ptn and black spider patterns. Never caught shad before and interesting that they were only caught on the Pwll y Faedda beat. No fish taken. Water temperature was very high.

Grey & overcast, chilly with gusty cold wind at times. Fish rose most of the day except from 4.00 pm until 6.00 pm. Took 10 - 15 trout to 10" & 8-10 grayling similar size. Mainly on dries although the bigger trout took the nymphs often tied with a bit of sparkle. Excellent day, had to ring the changes & fish hard but rewarding & v pleasurable.
NB we fished here last week (26th) when it was very windy & had similar results ( except caught 1lb + chub on nymph) until the river was turning green with leaf debris & the fish went home!!so we took the hint.
