Bright sunny day and quite windy. No fly life on the water and all fish taken on nymphs.

5 Trout, 4 Grayling

Nil return apart from a few hours spent targeting the trout.

Drove through some very wet conditions to arrive on a river that was still low but just starting to rise. Started downstream & fishing was very sporadic with the odd trout taken in the faster glides.
Lady Alexander Catch produced 3 more small trout & a lean 12oz grayling before taking a large 1.5lb trout by the fallen tree.
2 Canoeists had camped further upstream by the Edw & made for an exit on my arrival - I wasn't up to speed with Llanstephan ruling & hopefully they collected the beer can that preceeded them!
After lunch the river was on the rise fairly quickly and churned up a lot of the slimey algal bottom building up over the last few weeks - crossing became challenging so stayed on the downstream runs to take some more small trout and the odd grayling.
Tried numerous patterns but by far the most effective were weighted ptns.

Blustery, cold and sunny with low clear water.
Two rises seen during a quick morning session. One March brown seen hatching - can't really miss them.
Two trout and a good grayling on nymphs in the faster water - Wales looking beautiful in the sunshine.
Recent works to the access from the road to the beat have certainly opened up the previous narrow path - you can now drive a tank down it and its a bit raw. The beat is still one of my favourites and is otherwise unaffected.
Just a quick plea - Rubbish! I took away a large black sack full from the layby - and didn't make a lot of difference! Can we all please keep hold of our rubbish and pick up even one piece of someone elses. Pretty soon the whole area will be clear. It isn't enjoyable to start the morning parking in a waste strewn area and we can make such a difference so easily.

Another excellent day out. Again all fish caught on fly, all fish returned both days.

River running gin clear. All fish caught on fly. Fished this beat last year and the access down to the beat has been much improved as has the path to the upper end of the beat. Thanks as always to the lovely staff in the office who make booking so easy.

Nice sunny day though with a gusty win at times. River very clear and 12" on the Llanstephan gauge. Plenty of flies (medium olives?) coming off the water but very few rising fish. Both anglers caught regularly throughout the day. 8 trout with a best of 15", 4 grayling to 12". The trout were in noticeably better condition than the grayling.

Beautiful day with glorious sunshine but nothing was moving.

Arrived to the river rising, again. Over 3' on Llanstephan gauge. Should of stayed at home... Fished until midday and departed. Maybe next time.

Great hatch of March Browns around midday. Incredible to see!

A lovely day on the river. It felt like spring had arrived. Large hatches of what I think were March dun appeared late morning for a couple of hours but not a riser in sight. Water still very cold. All fish caught deep on gold head hares ear. Fish sizes were between 8-14 inches.
