Low water - 10" on the gauge at Llanstephan. I fished Lady Alexander's Catch with a silver stoat's tail on a floating line and hooked a decent trout on my second cast (1lb, returned).
A salmon was splashing further up Edw pool but not within the beat. A grilse ran up the stream below Edw pool, jumping once as I was changing my fly. I fished Lady Alex's again with a cascade, catching more trout, which were returned. I stripped a sunray shadow across the middle and tail of the pool, trout slapped at it, but there was no interest from any salmon.
A kingfisher fished below me. A great sight. I then turned to the dry fly and fished the tail of the pool with a grey sedge for trout that were very active, sipping wantonly. Great sport. More trout caught and returned.
At twilight, I fished the head of the pool again, hooking a hard fighting trout of 1.5lb in the fast water.
Then I heard a big tantalising splash as a salmon hit the water just at the edge of the current below a rock. It may have been a running fish: I covered the area again and again, with no response. I was fishing in almost total darkness and my wading and fishing options were accordingly limited. Perhaps a slow sinking line in the belly of the pool might have yielded a take. Another time...

Today no fish! I lost one and had a few very little attacks on the spiders but there was nothing rising.

Fished on July 6 and 7, and caught 3 trout and 3 grayling on each visit. Came across a large dead lamprey in the shallows. Would highly recommend the fish and chip shop in Builth Wells too.

3 Trout, 3 Grayling

Conditions interchanged quickly between torrential rain to bright and clear. This made fishing more difficult especially at midday. Nevertheless fish were caught, the highlights being a 14" trout and 12" grayling caught on spider patterns through the pools lying off faster water.

7 Trout, 6 Grayling
