Nil return for salmon

2 Trout

The water was in great shape, perfect height but gin clear. Not a fish seen or touched - I fished Lady Alexander catch exclusively - hoping for a running fish. I did however see otters playing in the margins chasing fry, Red Kites gliding up above and a huge hatch of March Browns when the sun made a short appearance - but not even a Trout was taking advantage of them. The river needs another month to wake up!

River into the field and trotting abandoned.A thank you to the admin team for the quick response to the wash off enquiry.

5 Trout, 5 Grayling

Cold but bright day.
3 very small grayling.

3 Trout, 3 Grayling

Water Level - 1' 10" at Llanstephan.
Gin clear. Good strong flow. Perfect weather.
5 small ladies on gold/purple Czech nymph on size 14 jig hook fished under a New Zealand indicator.
Lovely beat with varied tips of water and a little bit of a stream as well.

5 Grayling

Took my grandson to show him how I started fishing and 'trotted' for grayling am. No grayling but 4 small os trout - best 3/4 lb all safely returned. Joined by a friendly angler from Hereford (not fishing) who had a few words of advice. I'll show my lad fly fishing later. Had great lunch at the Seven Stars, round the corner at Aberedw - recommended: smart, friendly, good food and plenty of it. Went back pm to have a look at the top of the beat, where the Edw enters and were thrilled to see salmon collecting in the holding pool there. Another grand stay at Caer Beris Manor (Builth). Following day joined Louis from W&U for a great day salmon surveying on Wye and tributaries (recommended) something my grandson will always remember, thanks to Wye and Usk.

2 grayling caught on the fly. River still a little coloured from heavy rain two days previously, but very fishable.

2 Grayling

Wash off. Shame looks very promising.
