1st rod - 3 small brown trout and 1 grayling.
2nd rod - 1 x 1 3/4lb brown trout and a 2 1/2/lbs trout - stunning fish. All returned.

Successful flies were small olive emrgers, olive pheasant tail (shuttlecock), and tungsten beaded GRHE.

Possibly one of my favourite stretches of water.

Strong wind from the wrong direction and very low water.
The first cast produced a small trout which I thought auspicious!! However it took until 4pm to find more and I only managed 4 fish none bigger than 8" all to Olives. Mayfly about but very little sign of rising fish

A good day on the grayling: had at least 22 fish between us, with the best at 41cm. Also had one brownie. Fantastic to watch several salmon on their redds doing their stuff. Fish came to a mixture of nymph tactics and several on the dry during a midday hatch.

The river was slightly on the high side but managed to find a few fishable spots. 3 smallish grayling + 1 small brownie.
Lost one other fish which felt a decent size. All fish on Czech nymphs. Lovely secluded beat shared only with the wildlife.

First time on Llanfechan and there are some lovely salmon holding pools on this stretch. As for grayling I'm a bit of a beginner so was pleased to catch a couple and lose several more. Best fish @ 18". All on heavy bugs with no rises seen all day. Lovely to be out on an autumn day of heavy showers and weak sun in secluded and beautiful surroundings.

One of the best days fishing I've ever had, despite only 4 grayling between us. Largest around 11". 3 taken on nymph and one on the dry about midday. A few fish started to rise when the sun got on the water and a few olives started to appear. A salmon leapt in one of the pools, and a few out of season trout were caught. Easy parking and didn't see a soul all morning. Privilege to be out there.

Nine grayling caught, mostly over 12" and the largest 15" (approx 1 1/4lb). Fish were rising freely from 11-4, although there were very few flies hatching (needle flies, olives and small sedge). Caught on klinkhamers, Czech nymph, PTN and partridge & orange spiders. This beat seems to be mainly salmon pools but the glide I mainly fished contained a large amount of grayling. Beautiful, secluded location.

What a stunning beat. Just being at Llanfechan is a pleasure, the scenery is superb and I was lucky enough to have the whole stretch to myself on Sunday. 12 Grayling and 2 out of season BT caught, mostly Czech Nymphing. Caught my largest ever Grayling (1lb 15oz) which was fantastic, also lost three which were bigger! Finally I was treated to the amazing sight of a large Otter right in front of me! Spotted it on the bank whilst I was standing mid river, it slipped into the water and proceeded to have a little swim in the pool before heading off downriver. I just stood and watched in awe, an amazing sight and a superb day.

Once again a real pleasure to fish this beat. Weather was overcast with some wind. Catch returns as follows - Ian Mellings, 6 Grayling and one Trout, all on dry fly. Tom Hitchman, 7 Grayling and 5 Trout, all on dry fly.

Fished here the previous Saturday (02/10), and forgot to send in the catch returns which are as follows. Ian Mellings, 2 Grayling, both on dry fly. Tom Hitchman, 3 Grayling and 2 Trout, all on dry fly.

Excellent service from WUF as always.

Had 6 grayling (biggest about 12 oz) plus about 5 salmon parr. All fish off the top on a grey bodied klinkhammer. Lovely looking stretch of water in peaceful surroundings.
Very safe parking next to Llanfechan house. Will be back.
