A cool day at 11 degrees, and the water even colder at 9 degrees. Winter is on its way. Will wear the thermal LJs from now on - brrrrrrr! Some olives on and off from about 11 a.m. but not too many fish rising to them. Mainly fished duo (but only two fish came to the nymphs) or just an emerger. Had no joy bugging. Finished the day with 8 grayling and 5 trout. Best trout 13-14" but most about 8-10". Had two 16", each about 1.75lb, and one 14" grayling; the rest 8-12". Rising or non-rising fish either took an E H Caddis or a small dark olive Duck's Dun. A really nice day on this lovely bit of water.

The morning proved quite difficult with just the odd fish here and there. During the early afternoon we managed to find a pod of fish which were more than happy to come to the surface to take the dry fly. From there on we had a good day both fishing to rising fish and prospecting with a Klinkhammer along much of the beat. Around 20-30 fish to the net with approx. 70% being grayling.

Washed off on Friday, rebooked for Sunday 7th. Water clear bt still high. NIL Salmon caught or seen.(Overgrown difficult access to to the top of the beat.)

Celebrating my 50th birthday on one of my favourite beats. River fining down though still a little high. Around 15 fish between the two of us, an equal mix of grayling and WBT mostly to deep nymphs. However, a small hatch of olives midday meant a couple of fish on small traditional spiders. The day was capped by a stunning 2lb grayling to my fishing partner.

None as the beat was unfishable due to the weather. So,I did not go and I was told that refunds are not possible. Could not postpone to another date as I was on holiday -I live near Cambridge. On the previous Monday I was due to go on the same beat with Gareth Lewis and it was a wash-off. He has probably been in touch with you.

A fantastic days fishing despite the rainy conditions! A mixed bag of over 30 grayling and trout to the net with a few others lost just at the point of landing. The weather turned cold and wet from mid-day, but we continued to catch on a variety of methods, with around five fish taking the dry. Fantastic!

A quite disappointing day. The beat was over roded with 6 rods from 3 differing parties, meant that we were always on top of one another. Plus rods fishing the upper section on the opposite bank.
I was told the week before that the beat was limited to 3 unless the party was all together. A great shame, I had invited a friend down who had travelled nearly 300 miles to come fishing on what we thought would be exclusive water not sure they will be back.

A superb day. Started off fishing the duo N.Z. style and was in to fish straight away. Hooked a couple of grayling on the small beaded H.E but noticed several fish coming up to the small Klink and turning away ay the last minute. I soon realised that the nymph was impeding presentation and so off it came with instant results! Both trout (mainly in the morning - best 16") and grayling (best 17") came to the dry throughout the day and into the late afternoon / evening. I ended up with 15 - 20 grayling and 7 or 8 trout. Did unfortunately see two goosanders and a couple of the grayling showed signs of stab marks.

Three of us fishing using one fly rod each for two days on a quest to catch grayling at Cefnllysgwynne.
Lovely river with a mixture of gravel runs, deep pools, and rapids but the fishing was not easy which made it all the more pleasureable when we caught. Between the three of us we managed four grayling and three small brown trout on a mixture of flies and these seemed to come mostly in the deeper areas on the lower stretches on the beat which was two or three miles long. We all caught at least one grayling each so got what we came for and enjoyed the challenge.

Only two rods fished on the day. Fish caught and successfully returned were - 1 grayling (2lb) on small copperhead nymph, 2 wild brown trout (approx half pound each) on same nymph and 2 small salmon approx 4 inches in length. It was a fabulous day on one of the most beautiful rivers I have fished. I will definitely be back. Thank you for your help. Kind regards.
