Several very promising stretches for different techniques, but no takes. I saved what looked like the best bit, where the small river joins, until the afternoon.
I was working up the bubble line when the cattle which were been driven along the far bank were herded across the river exactly where I was fishing, with no warning. I had cattle either side of me as I struggled back to the bank, which was not easy as I was waist deep on large round stones and it was quite steep at that point to get back to the bank.
Call me old-fashioned, but a warning would have been nice,and given me time to get to safety. I am sure that if I had ruined the farmers enjoyment of his hobby he might have had more to say than I did.
If you fish this beat, avoid this section early afternoon...

Lovely day if a bit blowy. River dropping nicely and getting clearer as the day wore on. No activity and failed to find fish.
Nul points.

The rivers had been up and colored for a while. Thankfully the Irfon deserves its reputation for clearing quickly and I manged to get a reasonable day's fishing.
By late morning there were a few Stonefly coming off the water as well as one or two upswings. The fish however were not looking up. Swung a nymph on the point and a Black and Peacock spider on the dropper and picked picked up a few nice fish. The fish were mainly in the back half of the pools.

Tough going. One sizeable fish on a pink tag. Didn't find the most promising water at the top of the beat until dark, and spent too much time flogging marginal bits downstream. This stretch of river appears to have taken a real beating over the past few months. Banks severely eroded in places with no natural stabilization. Twice, huge chunks collapsed into the river near me as I fished, despite low water.
1 Grayling
