A great day at Cefnllysgwynne. Very hot and the majority of the fish caught early on before the heat came. Biggest fish of the day was 15", all to the dry, and all spotted and cast to.
A great day on a great water!

Small bead headed nymph pattern used.
Despite overnight rain the river was clear and fairly low, but it was a rainy day with no surface activity at all
Two small fingerlings and two 10" all returned
A lovely day out in glorious surroundings, thanks very much.

Hard days fishing, the weather turned against us. A beautiful beat indeed.

River still too high really at 0.76 but clearing during the day. Wading obviously quite challenging but it was good to be out nevertheless. Some fly came off but not a great deal and very few fish seen to rise. Most of fish came to nymphs/bugs but one 40 cm grayling to spider pattern and a nice 1 1/2 lbs trout to gold head bug as well. Fished from about half way up.
Water felt very cold and it may have been this which kept them with their heads down.

Lovely day on the river, stayed fairly fine and bright most of the day with occasional showers. The water level was lower than the average but clear, cold and fast flowing. We caught 2 trout (half pounder and a juvenile) and the grayling was about 14 inches.
Fish were caught during the 30 minutes of activity between 1pm and 1.30pm whilst the large up-wing hatch was going on, which was fairly spectacular. Alas it didn't last and all went quiet again for the rest of the afternoon.
Really enjoyed the beat which had lots of variety with rapids, falls, glides, pools and long sow sections.
That said, we only caught on dries during the early afternoon hatch.

Beautiful day, but fishing was hard. Despite the odd hatch around lunchtime, no sign of any fish rising. In fact no evidence of any trout at all. One small grayling, unaware that the season was over, fell to large weighted nymph hard on the bottom of a deep pool. The other catch a small salmon parr. Memorable bacon sandwiches and cardamom chicken curry for lunch though!!

One OS grayling 1.5lb, one salmon par, no sign of any trout today. Weather mixed.

River looking good with gin clear water. Nice, warm day but surprisingly no activity and no signs of rising fish. Caught a nice trout on streamer and a small grayling on a dry March Brown.

Beautiful day to be back out on the rivers. With hope of some warm sun and lower levels we expected to see a few fish moving about. We saw nothing rise all day but we did manage to catch. All fish came to PTNs fished through reasonably fast water. One of the trout was well over 3lbs and ended up straightening the hook! Makes a real change to fly fish this water - it takes on a whole new dimension over trotting a float. All fish returned.
