Water low and crystal clear. fished the bottom section of the beat and caught 6 grayling ( 2 at 15" ) in the first hour. i then fished the gutter and pools along the entire length and caught nothing !. it was`nt until i got to the top pool at about 3pm when i caught 2 more grayling and 2 oos trout. all fish came to suspended nymphs.

Second time I’ve visited this beat, the first time I was disappointed as the beat map shows access all the way down one bank almost all the way back to Newbridge-on-Wye however this isn’t the case as the path ends at a house a short way into the woods and accessing the river is almost impossible.
This time I crossed the footbridge and found the river much more accessible. Today though the river was very powerful after recent rain and still carrying a little colour, wading was quite difficult and finding feeding fish even more so. I eventually found a few fish rising very intermittently in a slack behind a fallen tree, I managed to rise one to a dry fly, which frustratingly I missed, this turned out to be the only chance I was to get. The wind started to get quite wild blowing leaves into the river by the thousand so gave up and went for a warm and a pint instead.

All fish taken on an olive klinkhammer. Trying nymphing but failed to connect with anything!

Fished at Doldowlod , the weather was far from Ideal. So many leaves coming down, as well as branches falling from the trees all around me, but I persevered, it got quite impossible to fish down and across. So went to plan B, Czech nymphing did a little better in handling the conditions, 1 nice out off season brown trout, and 3 good grayling. Perseverance paid off but as the day progressed it started to get a little worse, but never mind I was quite happy with the result. All fish returned safely..
Is it possible to have signs up to see if we are in the right place for parking.

WUF note: We review the directions and parking arrangements annually, and look into putting up any relevant signage.
