lovely beat ! though in places a little hairy to wade. i booked this hoping that overnight rain would lift the river but sadly it never did. French nymphed heads of pools and had the 5 trout and both grayling in the first two hours then the river just died and i mean died. not sure of the head of fish in this section of river as the pacey water only gave up the seven fish . the wind was horrendous which may of put them off the feed. plenty of fly on the water olives, midge , crane fly but very limited rises and what did was small. size wise bar one trout all above twelve inches with the largest trout 16 inches all taking size 18 2mm tungsten aqua baetis on the point of a team of two weighted nymphs

5 Trout, 2 Grayling

Little fly activity and a very cold wind made fishing difficult today, but a good time was had nevertheless. Lovely to see a few kites overhead.

2 Grayling

Low water meant that we abandoned fishing for salmon and fished for trout. We raised a couple of good fish, but none were brought to the net.

River coloured, soon cleared. Grayling and 2 trout around pound and a quarter, all taken on the french leader. Few fish rising to olives, thanks to Richard for a lovely days fishing

9 Trout, 1 Grayling

Great day

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Spent the morning upstream of Llanwrthwl Bridge and caught two Grayling best about 12 inches to a black klink, despite some hatches there were no fish rising and saw no trout in the clear water. Downstream of the bridge in the afternoon and in very bright sunshine and with a small but continuous hatch I saw no fish rising nor caught any.
As an aside a few days before I fished the RRA waters around Rhayader and again saw no evidence of any trout indeed I walked the banks downstream of Dernol with my polaroids on to see if I could spot any fish but the river appeared barren. Worrying?

2 Grayling

Just fished the morning, river clear, flowing well. One OOS small brown trout and three glayling the best being a beautiful fish to about 1lb caught on a dry Adams Parachute ... perfect. All returned and swam off strongly :-)

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

3 grayling, pound to a pound and a half. Taken on weighted Hares Ears. Excellent service from WUF.

3 Grayling

First time salmon fishing enjoyed the day, but nothing showed, not sure if I was doing it right to be honest.
