Abernant gauge showing 0.6m and falling.
2ft visibility and lots of leaves and debris coming down. 5 OOS Trout on Nymphs, Red Tag, lost another OOS Trout. No fish rising despite a steady trickle of olives coming off from 11am throughout the afternoon. 1 grayling hooked and lost on an emerger pattern, shook the hook at the net, about 12oz.

First time on this lovely beat, will be back when the river is below 0.45m and visibility is better for wading.

Beautiful beat and day,pity the grayling didn't turn up. 2 at around 3/4lb and 3 osb one on the dry fly.River still low.

Frost overnight meant a brisk morning but very little wind. Pretty quiet day, apart from constant bombardment of falling acorns. Tough going finding fish but managed to winkle a few out using ptn, partridge and purple spiders. Beautiful beat all to myself and one otter mid afternoon.

Much less water in the river than I had expected, but a very pretty stretch of river and I had a great day's fishing

A freezing cold day with ice on the already slippery rocks, so I was rather cautious and failed to find any grayling.

Nothing except 1 small grayling about 8 ounces caught on pink nymph above grhe lovely day though

Fairly cold start to the day, but a lack of wind kept the leaves from blowing into the water. Tough going, although I managed to bag a small grayling on a red klinkhammer during a small spell of sunshine. I also saw a large salmon jump below the fall at Glaswyn, a real beast of a fish. Later in the day another small graying was caught and finally to top off the day a small out of season brownie was landed, both on a gold headed bibio nymph. All flies today were red and black. Great stretch of river to enjoy the colours of autumn.

Just a couple of hours fishing in the morning. Caught one grayling on a weighted PTN.

Water falling after recent rain. 0.8 on the gauge was a good height for the river. It is a lovely secluded spot with plenty of streamy runs and pots to fish but the wading can be tricky in places. We caught our fish in the morning on Sawyer Killer Bugs and they were all returned. It went quiet in the afternoon as the temperature dropped but it was good to see several salmon show in the pools during the course of the day. There is plenty of water to occupy two rods for a day in this idyllic spot but it is hard to do it justice during the course of a single visit.
