Area:Irfon & Ithon
Beat:Colonel's Water
Fishing:Trout (River)
No. of Anglers:1
This beat has a substantial amount of fishable water (0.43 on the Abernant gauge) and is in three distinctive sections. The upper and lower parts, which I didn't have time to explore fully, are faster flowing, rockier and more overgrown. The middle part is more gentle-paced, open and easy going underfoot over gravel, with very easy access.
Most of the grayling were quite small (1/2lb) with 4 over a pound and the biggest 1 3/4lb (weighed in the net). The trout were in great condition and gave a good account of themselves. The biggest weighed in at 2 1/2lb and provided me with a spectacular display of aerobatics.
All fish were caught on a variety of dries (emergers) with the fish willing to come up to them all day and well into the evening. A great day on a great beat.
7 Trout, 29 Grayling
