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.

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
