Alternated between a single dry fly and team of wet flies. The wet flies proved the more effective. Tough fishing conditions in the bright summer sun but great fun nonetheless and learnt a lot with Oliver Burch!

After my close encounter a month or two ago and seeing the river had risen during the week I thought there might be a slim chance of a salmon today, however upon arrival the river was well and truly back on its knees, very low. However while walking to the river seeing a huge silvery salmon leap clear of the water before crashing back down had me quite excited again, even if it was in the adjoining down stream water. A salmon was always going to be a long shot so an hour or two on a dry fly resulted in a nice Grayling and a trout of about 8’, I also managed to miss 10-12 other rises, still trying to figure out why.

Another lovely day on the river, thank you.

Good fly life and plenty of fish showing throughout the day - fish caught ranged from 6" up to around 16" taken on both dries and nymphs. Around 12 caught altogether and all were safely returned.
A canoe was launched from the opposite bank to the parking and used the downstream section of the beat during the middle part of the day despite levels being well below the red line on the gauge.

Not ideal conditions for fishing with very clear low water. Canoes & swimmers as usual in fine weather when guests renting the house above Lady Alexander's beat. Probably made little difference to the fishing. Enjoyed the new fishing hut...proper job. Thanks for the day.

2 x trout 10-16 inches, 3 x grayling 9-10 inches, spiders. A difficult day in low water not made any easier by intrusion of various parties come to throw rocks into the pool, shout and swim, plus one trespassing canoe we sent back to Builth Wells. Still, the expression on the face of a 14 year old boy with a 16 inch trout made up for a lot. Well fished Maelo!

A very enjoyable day,the weather was sunny with some cloud. It was nice to have the fishing lodge to make it easier to change. The 3 fish caught were Grayling all on dry fly,about 10” long.
