Low river and cold, wet conditions made fishing difficult and therefore we only caught one grayling the size of my thumb, stark contrast to 2 weeks ago.

Lovely day in mid-Wales on a lovely beat I have been wanting to fish for a couple of years. Surprisingly mild and fish were rising from 1pm to 2pm in the long bend pool. I throught they were trout when the classic red tag was ignored. The change to a Ducks dun was taken first cast by a grayling, which then put the pool down!

Between us we brought 7 grayling brought to hand. One of 6oz, 4 between 10oz and 1lb, with 2 around 1.5lb. One on dry, one on nymph and the rest of klink and dink. 6 OSS trout to around a pound as well. Hooked a mid teen salmon on a holo nymph, it was fun while it lasted. The barbless hook should fall out. A couple of other salmon showed in the beat which was good to see.

6 Trout, 7 Grayling

I had four grayling
Three grayling were hooked on the dropper
Later on I switched to the dry fly and a small Adams as there was a few fish rising and managed to catch another before I packed up

Enjoyable day and pretty beat. We fished mainly dries having found one or two pools with rising fish. They were generally oncers and it was hard to find a fish that was really on the feed. Nothing bigger than a pound but lovely nonetheless. It is hard to find a clear and consistent path along the length of the beat so it does take quite a bit of effort to move very far upstream.

Lovely small brownies in perfect condition. Access to the top third of the beat is limited due to new fencing.
