This was the first time I visited the area. The Grywne Fawr is a very beautiful little river in a wild setting. It is good for the soul to spend time in such a place. I started fishing the bottom of the beat and worked my way up. Very carefully at first. But as time went on, and as I fished all the structures and specifically concentrating on the deeper pools I started to doubt that there was much fish to be caught. In fact, I walked the entire beat font and back and did not see a single sign of a trout. No rises in the distance, no fish being spooked as you wade up river. I am convinced the fish had moved downriver, perhaps due to the time of the season, or river level - not sure! I packed up before lunch. It is a real shame as I love to fish small and wild rivers like this. So to summarise: the location was stunning, but the fishing disappointing.

Lovely stretch with fairly easy access. 6 to hand, lost a few more. Tight tree cover in places but manageable.

Hostile weather precluded fishing after the first hour. River looked OK, though.

A bright and warm day. River was fairly low, but moving quickly and still quite cool. Started at 0730 and found fish rising in most pools but not sure what they were feeding on - innumerable midges dancing above the water but couldn't see much in the surface film. No luck on various dries from size 12-20, black through to very pale yellow.
Tried nymphs from about 11 and had a handful of pulls in deeper pools. One 9" trout brought to hand and released. Finished around 1pm, lovely morning.

Caught on a beaded nymph in the early afternoon. Water very clear and quite high.
