This is the lowest I have seen Ty Newydd. Made it far less intimidating to traverse! Warm, cloudy day with plenty of flies hatching. Mainly upwings, some sedge and the odd yellow may. Didn't really get the fish rising though. Caught 4 wbt all 10"-12", two on nymphs and two on dries.
Several salmon making hefty splashes in the pool above the hut late afternoon. Wonderful sight. Need to review my tactics on the next visit.

13.00-18.30, two wbt, nothing of any note. Fell to sedge in the flats both returned. This river does frustrate me, I blame it on the new waders!

Beautiful beat but a bit too high for Salmon on the fly and certainly too windy. Was 2 foot on the WUF gauge and 1.2m on EA gauge for Salmon on the fly. Not sure I understand that. Persisted with the fly but should have spun it. Saw one salmon in the bathing pool half way across. I trout decided to nail the tube.

Some good hatches and rising fish but localised spots in the beat. Big mayfly spinner fall late pm. Fish caught on a range of dry patterns including Para Adams, black klinks, olive emergers and mayfly duns.

No fish this time. Cold and windy lots of leaves on water. Nice day out thanks.

River in good order, weather sunny but with a horrible downstream wind that made fishing awkward and probably kept flylife down. Not many fish showing but a salmon did leap a couple of times at the start of the large shingle. WBT & Grayling taken on deep nymphs and salmon parr on a spider.
Thanks to all at WUF for providing another great place to enjoy.

It was a fantastic day. I started just above the cottage and caught (dry fly) there few trout around 8 inches. I tried nymph, but nothing.
Then I moved forward on a place where I caught a grayling a few days before. The weather was quite perfect, cloudy with a gentle breeze. Then I start dry fly and caught many graylings, all around 10 and 12 inches, with many missed. It was a really good afternoon. I even caught one on nymph (just for a test), and one trout also around 8/10 inches.

Low water, clear. Biggest trout 9 inches. My friend lost his battle with a salmon at the bottom of the beat on size 4 line while chasing little trout. He said there are no big fish in these waters. All fish on deep polish nymph. Other fish were twait shad, if I'm not wrong, sort of 2 lb sardines, very good fighters. Late surface activity started after 9pm when we just finished for the day. All returned. Next time. Thanks.

No fish caught but a fantastic day out in the most stunning setting.
