An astonishing day; clear blue skies, fantastic scenery and plenty of hungry fish, periodically rising throughout the day.
All taken on dry flies.

Beautiful beat and a wonderfully enjoyable days fishing.

Pretty much a perfect day

All the fish came from the same stretch of fast water, between 10:30am and 2:30pm with a spurt between 12 and 1 when there was a hatch of mostly march browns and sedges (I think). The fish all took a size 12 March Brown dry or a beaded size 18 PTN fished NZ style underneath it. No really small fish among them and they all went back.

Just my lucky day I suppose

2 very small trout from a sporadic morning hatch, only very small fish seen through the day and any evening action curtailed by an Otter dropping out of the Bachawy and patrolling around the pool then down into Gromain.
Sad to see so much slime so early in the year.

Nice to be back on the Wye.

Water low and clear. A hatch of March Browns and Olives around midday then again around 5pm.

One grayling on a small dry and one trout on a hare's ear nymph.

It was a sunny, warm day for early April. The river was running fairly low and very clear. The length of the beat was pretty quiet. I managed to land two very small WBT on PTN.

Enjoyable but fruitless day, river at a good height.
Lack of thermals stopped play.

A most enjoyable final day of salmon fishing. Good weather, a fishy feeling river and the good company of a fellow angler and his wife. Sadly no salmon though I had a good fish on for a few seconds in the tail of the bathing pool but I suspect it was a large trout. Ty Newydd is a fabulous place to be whether catching or not. Looking forward to a better 2021 season.

Enjoyed the beat, wading a bit difficult in places and the left bank is a ramble, no fish seen or caught apart from a couple of brown trout.

.....second day. Misty cool start but soon warmed up. Sunny and intermittent cloud cover. Fish were generally higher in the water and fly life apparent. Caught a few on weighted nymphs but switched to dry flies mid morning. Very productive and great fun. Various emerger patterns, F-fly, light coloured size 12, 14 seemed to bring the fish up along the disturbed glides. Wonderful last day to our two day excursion and very lucky with the weather. Stayed at the Owls B & B in Builth. Nice place, good breakfast.
