Lovely hatch midday of March brown, bringing fish up for a short period , until cold wind stopped it, oos grayling still showing.

No fish, river looked deserted. One small finger injury from a rock slip.

Beautiful day, a very orderly group of kayaks and canoes past, no problem with sharing river . Let river settle in front of us and then fished. On returning to bottom of beat found the canoes driving up and down the stretch using long poles to propel themselves. How good is this for the river bed, plus of course fishing blown out.

WUF Note: Under the terms of the access arrangements, canoeing on the Marteg to Newbridge section is only permitted when the water height is over the red line at Rhayader, at all times of year. These canoeists should not have been on the river and should certainly not have been using poles on the riverbed.

1 x grayling 14 inches. Pleasantly warm and cloudy, but seemingly not a very good day for my fishing. I was experimenting with a team of leaded grayling fancy flies and had a few tentative takes, but failed to connect with all except one. No olives at all seen today.

M.S. South Gloucestershire. First time on here. Rising river all day but running clear. Great beat in a nice part of the world. Did not trouble the fish much despite some advice given. Some olives coming off but not a big hatch. Fish taken on french leader in the middle of the beat. Emerger put across the couple of rising fish I did see but could not tempt them.
1 O.O.S. trout and 2 grayling.
