Left Gloucestershire in heavy rain, got to Brecon and it was dry but by the time we arrived in Builth it was chucking it down again. Originally we were heading for the Irfon but sitting in the car park in Builth watching that rising we decided to go down stream on the main river to hopefully avoid the rising water till later in the afternoon.

The old man managed to get a trout pretty quickly and we thought we might manage to at least get a few more but that was it. The water came up and by 3 o’clock we called it a day.

In hindsight probably shouldn’t have fished but with the end of the trout season approaching it was worth a go. Still it’s nice to be outside in the countryside.

Just a quick evening session for an hour or so. River was very low and clear. Fished a single wet fly (red and black nymph) through the rapids. Strong take and netted a trout of around 8 inches. The wading was slippery and the beer was calling so I decided not to fish on. Very pleasant evening

1 Chub caught and released whilst using a dry fly. We tried both wet and dry flies during the course of the morning and saw plenty of trout in the river. Some algae visible on the surface near the banks of the river.

Not as much fly life around as previous trips to Llangoed this season.
