The river was very low indeed. The large pools on this beat were still deep but had very little flow. I’m surprised I caught one if I’m honest. Had another two pulls as well.

Was disappointed to be so close to residential properties .

Decided to give the Llynfi a bash from my regular Arrow and Lugg beats . . . . Was ten when I bowled up , a little overcast , 18 degrees and a nice breeze , things looked good .
Tackled up with my usual six foot two weight outfit , and a tiny parachute black gnat , almost immediately having several hits by small but very pretty trout parr , which is promising for this river , as two years ago was the pollution incident so happy days , and plenty of small fry and bullheads under stones . . . . .
Had my first "decent "trout , possible ten inches in the head of a deep pool , great spirited fight and quickly returned . This happened several times , with good rises , prospecting areas working my way up the river . Was a nice change from the confines of the Arrow beats , easy peasy , and wide and able to get a proper cast under the over hanging alders , great fun . Four of the brownies came to the dry , and two on a single small gold head PTN .
The deep pool half way up the beat , had a nice surprise , a lunker of a grayling took my nymph , steady bend in the six foot rod , beautiful specimen , possibly fifteen inches , and strong as an ox , quickly admired , then released , spot on !!!!!!
Had one more grayling again in the nymph nearly at the top of the beat , again in a deep pool , hit the nymph hard , about ten inches , and super condition . . . .
A really fun four hours , six brownies and two grayling , from this recovering cracking river , shall head back again very soon , oh and it would have been rude not to call in to the Honey Cafe and sample one of the delicious cakes and a cuppa, so obviously I did the decent thing and gave it a go . . . . . Again !!!!!! Great morning , and a nice chill out at the cafe . . Happy days !!!!!!!!

Great conditions, water dropping nicely and clearing throughout day. Unfortunately no signs of any fish... I think we need a pro-longed spate to move some fresh fish into and throughout the system - encouraging those that have survived this unprecedented Summer to leave the safety of their lairs... Roll on Autumn!
