First visit to Craig Llyn, a cracking beat, excellent set up, with good access and plenty of different features to fish.
River nice and clear, could have done with a bit more cloud cover but it made sitting on the bank very enjoyable so always a trade off!
The top part of the beat especially interesting with lots of "fishy" spots. Not much surface feeding, although I did spot some large grayling.
Next two pools had a bit more visible activity but ultimately we failed to find the trout. All fish caught on dry fly.
Clearly a beat with masses of grayling, often of good size, am sure the trout are there too.

River very low and a really hot day but I managed to catch a few nice trout and a grayling. Traditional nymphing methods using a very long leader and a hot spot PTN were successful. No interest on any of my dropper offerings, spiders, or on various dry flies. An enjoyable day on this well maintained and attractive beat.

5 Trout, 1 Grayling

First time fly-fishing on a river. Very beautiful stretch and owners were really helpful with suggestions for where to fish and tactics. All caught on nymphs

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Stunning stretch of river. Conditions were bright sunshine and water was lower than we expected, but the fish were active and plentiful. Stuck mainly to the fast water on the beat fishing nymphs, variations of Hare’s Ear seemed to be the order of the day.

A hot and bright day. A small number of fish rising. Caught on soft hackle dry and wulff patterns.

Lovely afternoon spent on my local water met the owners lovely couple no salmon seen , was more of a reky really having a look at the pools for when higher water arrives again . Lovely section of the river Wye very peaceful.

Gradual hatch in middle of the day of a couple of types of up wing flies and small sedges, and a couple of fish rose irregularly just out of reach. Spiders in the riffles produced no interest at all. Two fish caught on nymph under and indicator.
