Nothing caught but probably due to my inexperience of river fishing because conditions appeared perfect. First time I've used the booking system which was very efficient. I shall return!

Beautiful bright sunny day and much warmer than the previous days. Plenty of insect life happening all around. Water slightly cloudier than previous day.
Sporadic activity on surface.
Caught one grayling (about 1/2 lb)on a knotted midge/black spider which was of course returned.
Absolutely fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed it despite not catching much.

A quick trip report for 6th & 7th March. We all had a brilliant time although only one of us caught one fish: one 40cm brown trout from Llanfechan. Released of course.
Both Wye & Irfon were the clearest I have seen them. Very cold weather on Saturday and bright sunshine on Sunday. Small hatch of upwings on Sunday. I spent the day Sunday stalking fish in Llanfechan in one particular spot and was surprised to see some pretty big customers (up to 50cm). They were very spooky though.
Everyone agreed that April / May would be a better time with more obvious top of the water fly activity but we thouroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you for your help in organising.

This was my first time on the Irfon and I must say this stretch of the river is utterly delightful – definitely in my top three! The river, with its rapids, islands, pools, and gutters, has plenty of visual appeal. But beware the river bed, which in parts is quite treacherous, indeed throughout the day I used my wading staff (almost) as often as I did my rod!
Due to the characteristics of this beat, I had to change my technique quite frequently. In places, a small beadhead was the perfect choice but less than a cast away a team of two was required in order to stand half a chance. It was all very challenging – but extremely rewarding. Despite the air being thick with fly life I saw only two rises all day.
Fished from 10:00 till 19:00. The river was up about two or three inches and falling. I managed nine trout: smallest eight inches, largest about fourteen inches.
