Beautiful conditions and lovely beat, but virtually no trout activity at all, despite a healthy but shortlived hatch of mayfly in the early evening. I couldn't understand it. It was around 17C air temperature and clearly not too cold for a hatch so where were the fish? Pity but I enjoyed the day nevertheless.

Evening hour on the upper section, caught 6 small trout on a nymph (own pattern, I call Irfon Bug).

Very difficult conditions, very hot period of weather and low river conditions. Had 4 takes connecting with the one fish which was around 6 inches. Hard to assess due to drought conditions but have done well here in the past. All takes came to a size 16 klinkhammer.

Mixed weather, cloud turning to drizzle in the afternoon, but 5 browns to 14" caught on wet Coch y Bonddu fished upstream, all amazingly strong hard-fighting fish. Stayed at the Cammarch Hotel and went on to fish a good evening rise on the middle Irfon beat. A further 9 trout to 16" and one 16" grayling all taken on a dry sedge.

The river was not as good as I expected. I didn't like it I'm sorry. 2 fish caught and released, but very hard to find. Downstream was a little better. In general, I didn't like this beat.

Fished from the very bottom of the beat. Some nice looking pools, all of which had rising fish due to an ongoing hatch. Fishing not helped by the persistent rain, although I managed 4 fish, one a tiddler at 4 inches with the others 6-8 inches. All taken on an F-Fly.
