Nice day with both Grayling and Trout to the net, and lots of bites and lost fish. Fished Euro Nymphs in the morning on shrimps and redtags, then traditional Northern Soft Hackles in the afternoon. Lovely day. River at 1ft 9" on the Llansteffan gauge.

Could not find any grayling but had a few OOS trout - fished dries only so guessing grayling must have been lying deep. Fished from 1 pm but nothing much hatching to bring grayling up but plenty of tiny fly and sedge on the wing so maybe hatched early or in the dark. Beautiful scenery with weather like a hot suumer day and very enjoyable.

Lovely warm day. Rather snaggy but caught on floated bread and ledgered meat.

Looked to be great conditions, but river was running through more quickly than expected and wading wasn't attempted. Difficult start for all with only one eel and one Dace landed. Round about 3ish, things began to tick over, with 3 Barbel being banked in fairly quick succession (7lb,5lb, 3lb) followed by some decent Chub (4lb+ being the largest). Variety of tactics used, Barbel fell to ledgered luncheon meat. Chub took trotted corn and meat. Would love to visit with water down a little and slightly less pace. On one swim, there was clear evidence of Pike fishing having taken place (dead Sprats), thought this wasn't allowed. One or two swims in woods hampered by snags close in. Tricky, but enjoyable.

River in good condition still carrying a tinge of colour.

Considering the hot bright conditions a reasonable day, once again thanks to the owner.
