Lovely still autumn day but river low and quite clear and fish hard to find

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

2 anglers trotting found it hard going in every sense, even between us we couldn't quite cover the whole beat in a day so likely missed a couple of pools. We were rewarded with a couple of nice grayling at 14" and 15" - made it all worthwhile though. All the trout were under 10".

4 Trout, 5 Grayling

Weather cloudy ish but much warmer than Monday.

Caught 1 very good size Grayling in am and another that got away after a big fight.

Another 3 small ones in afternoon.

Lovely day.

Disaster......left rod and reel by side of car and now home in West Yorkshire....have a friend who could pick it up locally.....gutted....please help!!

WUF note: The rod and reel has since been found and safely returned.

DC & GC had another day on this nice beat but the fishing was really hard going due to a very strong and gusting wind. No sign of any surface activity so nymphs used. GC had 4 grayling and DC 3 grayling up to to 10inches. The 2 other were small wbt.
Many thanks to the Colonel and W&U.

Having fished Cefnllysgwynne the day before, which is immediately downstream of Llanfechan and also includes part of the far bank of this beat, I can say that if anything this section of the river is even more beautiful.
Conditions were good, a crisp morning which brightened during the day. In the early afternoon a small hatch brought fish to the surface, and both a trout and a grayling were taken and safely released on a dry fly - size 16 green klinkhammer.
Also had a very nice chat with the owner.

Frosty start (-2 )but soon turned into lovely calm day, water was very clear and the fish were in different spots to when I fished it about a month ago. grayling to 10" and oos trout to 14"

I’ll be honest , I was told to fish for the table today since a meal, which would benefit from a nice grayling , was to be prepared. I chose Aberbwtran because I know there are some decent fish there and it is one of the beats that has a 2 fish bag. Always difficult and really tricky wading but a really lovely place. First one, 16 inches from the big pool to a barbless hares ear nymph and the other two 10 and 12 inches to a rusty Klinkhammer at bottom of the beat. Only took one home!

Overnight frost, bright sun all day, low clear water. Thats my excuses for a tough day. I started in the bottom field and as expected failed to find any fish willing to feed, however a move back up to the island area in the faster water brought some interest and a hard fighting Barbel of 6lb 4ozs obliged mid afternoon. This was followed by a slightly smaller Barbel and finally a Chub of about 2 1/2lb as the light started to fade.
