Day 3 of the 2015 tour - fishing with James Bullock and Sandy Geyer. Fish rather more circumspect today - a case of findng the right fly! Rather more smaller grayling around further down the river - and more trout too. Best trout 15", best grayling 17" all on dries as usual and all safely returned. Another super day!

7 Trout, 14 Grayling

We had a good day although the hatches were small and sporadic. Small patches of great sport when we should've have converted a lot more takes into fish caught. Just the first signs of autumn colour showing and when it got breezy leaves started to fall.

3 Trout, 10 Grayling

First time on this beat so some time spent exploring. Not much rising at all but persisted with various dry flies. Two grayling, 8-10", on parachute adams. Very pleasant day in fine, if gusty, weather.

Glorious afternoon on the Ty-Newydd beat. No fly life evident but fish feeding on nymphs in places. Also caught 2 salmon parr. All fish returned in good condition.

6 Trout, 3 Grayling, 2 Other

Encountered a heron, an otter and 4 canoeists. Was prepared to share the beat with the first two but not the latter so insisted they leave. They bleated about not knowing the rules so let them go through.
Fishing was a little on the slow side but nevertheless an enjoyable first visit to this attractive beat. The 'other' in the return is salmon parr.

A brilliant day by my standard's and experience, anyway got off to a flier 2nd cast picked up a brownie around 15inches a PB for me, then four grayling in as many casts all in the same run around 1/2 a pound or so. Then another stunning brown of around the same size as the first . Landed a further 10 or so grayling later in the morning and early afternoon, along with a small brown of around 9 inches. All in all a great day in stunning surroundings. All fish returned.

1 Trout

1'6", overcast and drizzly. 12lb coloured fish from Top Planks. A lively fight as the fish decided to leave the pool and was landed at the telegraph pole some way down the white water (two partial dunkings for me on the way down!). Sink tip and #6 Ghillie.
