The Irfon down to its bones. Low, warm water with little flow and little sign of fly life or fish. Managed 2 wbt on a sedge pattern after lots of speculative casting. The second wbt about 9". I know this beat quite well so interesting to get a look at the structure of the river bed, particularly those areas that usually hold fish in higher flows. Never a wasted day, always learning.

The rivers are extremely low and not knowing the beat I walked a long way upstream to find fishable water. The beat changes character quite significantly and narrows down a great deal as one progresses upstream. I took fifteen or so trout up to a best of 12" and one grayling. I was very pleased to get the grayling as I love catching them and this is my last day on the Wye /Usk waters.
Although daytime temperatures have been in the mid to high twenties this morning when I went out at around dawn the temperature was 3.5 degrees centigrade. I could't believe the chill.
I enjoyed a very pleasant morning, I had only planned to fish for half the day as I have to pack and sort things out for my onward journey.
On the river I saw a family of otters playing in the shallows in the deep shade of the tree cover. Unfortunately they saw me at much the same time and I didn't have time to take a snap. The trout on the Irfon seem to punch well above their weight and put up spirited battles. A lovely morning on the water, thank you.

Never seen this river so low. Though day cause of the low level. 2 small BT around 6/8 inches with dry fly and another 2 missed. Spot several big graylings and BT too, but the absence of water makes fishing extremely difficult.

Had forgotten how much of this beat there is – and only got half way up today! River showing her bones but plenty of insect life around and a few fish rising – although the decent ones had to be searched for.
Fished parachute dries as always for 13 fish between us. 10 brownies from 4 to 15 inches and 3 grayling from 9 to 18 inches. Unfortunately the big grayling had been on the end of a cormorant attack.
There are some clonking trout in this stretch. I lost what looked like an 18”er when he took me around a rock and broke my leader but we saw two fish significantly larger than that…one day!
Thanks for another excellent day.

Very warm day with clear skies. Fish taken throughout the day did slow off considerably during the afternoon. Sporadic hatches which were short lived. Beautiful countryside. Most fish taken on bead heads.

The river was low and clear, and with bright sun and little wind it was going to be a tricky day.
There was a good mix of hatching insects. Black knat was prolific, the fish didnt seems to be on anything specific. I missed fish on most flies that i tried. A 16 grey emerger was take with confidence by the three fish that i had.
It was very much a day for concidered casting rather than just covering water.
As every a stunning place to fish
