Covered those pools still fishable with the fly with no takers & nothing seen.Reverted to trout rod afterwards as there was pretty constant movement to emerging nymphs all day.One reasonable grayling. Was never going to be a battery recharging day :lost my wallet on the way over which I only discovered at the garage after filling the truck up with diesel.Fortunately some very kind & honest person handed it in at the last place I'd stopped.After arriving slightly later than anticipated I promptly fell/slid down a rock whilst wading & filled my waders!Still would'nt want to be anywhere else on a day off! Thanks WUF for the opportunities.

River at 10" on the Llanstephan gauge, which is higher than usual for mid August, with a touch of colour. DD mostly fishing dry fly, JD fishing a team of three wets (though swapping methods later). We didn't fish the beat hard, taking our time to enjoy the lovely scenery and occasional kingfisher, but caught regularly from about 2 til 6pm. All grayling in the 8-10" range (except for one tiddler) caught on olive nymph, Hancock's Pet, grey duster and red tag. Unusual absence of the larger grayling often caught on this beat.

11 Grayling

Started at the top end of the beat, fishing most swims with nothing but an eel. We then moved lower down the river to the wooded section were it was slightly pacier. There we managed 2 barbel one just over 7lb and the other over 9lb. All fish came on pellet early afternoon. Lots of canoeist come down this section of river and most pass through peacefully, where as other have no respect or awareness of us 3 anglers. The day was enjoyable and many thanks to WUF.

Only negative was the amount of litter in the wooded section, not from anglers just people throwing litter from their car windows into woods.

One pull in the neck of Spring Pool, and trout of 15 and 12 inches, but that was all she wrote this evening.

In good conditions we caught mainly small Barbel on meat and small Chub using a feeder. Quite a few anglers on the far bank. Thanks
