Very quite all day, have got to re think my approach.

Wet and cooler day that produce a good amount of fish to various flies and techniques. Water level still low and clear.

6 Trout, 20 Grayling

Alas my rather limited skills did not match the fish I was trying so very hard to catch. A wonderful day the River pristine location stunning. Booking process simple. Thank you so much.

I focussed on the top half of the beat again today. Some nice trout around 10 inches from fast water on a soft hackle dry using my 7'6" 3 weight. Lots of fish rising on the flats and two fish took a size 18 F fly, (they were super-selective). In the evening the Grayling came on in the top pool and I managed five good fish on the soft hackle dry again around 14 inches. I couldn't do anything on the nymph, either on the duo or a French leader. It was warm and bright and whatever the method that works on the day it is a pleasure to be out in such wonderful surroundings.

3rd session on Craig Llyn, went further down river but still no success. Spoke to another angler who said I was wasting my time fishing this stretch and that the river fishes much better down by Sean Shepherd's hut. One further point, I did notice on my 3 visits there were no rising fish to cast to. Another point the angler that I spoke to made was that it is imperative that you use a French leader, although I'm not a professional or am I an amateur, I'm not quite sure what this type of leader is. I intend to use this method this evening.

Managed three lovely conditioned Trout and a decent Grayling all on the dry from the top of the beat.

Dale Parsons and Lee Hoard were guided by myself for the day. River at perfect height and fining down. Spate turned grayling and trout on the feed finding plenty of fish in all runs. Used mainly duo and French leader with a few trout taking the stimmy. Big bugs the order of the day. Red letter Day Fishing, hit the water perfect height and falling with a slight peaty colour finding fish relatively easily. Dale and Lee both had specimen fish fighting well in the extra water. Would recommend wading staff to get to the slower pockets where the fish seem to be sitting. Trout feeding hard on the bug. Pattern of the day is in photo to follow. Good angling by Lee and Dale.
