6 shad of various sizes from three different pools

3 Trout, 1 Grayling, 6 Other

what a disappointment after yesterday. Got to the beat and things looked good, well looks can be deceiving , only shad caught and nothing seen, this beat is causing us some problems as we don't understand why there are no fish here

fished the bridge pool both fly and spinner, had shad but nothing else, up to Hellrug or the spout fished the main pool and then down to the tail and bang into a small fish 4 to 5 pounds, three seconds later it was off, so more disappointment oh well thats fishing. Up to what was my favourite pool the Willow, and what a surprise the whole pool has changed and shifted , not sure about it now.

Second visit of the weekend and was hoping with better weather. Staring under suspension bridge and manged a decent Garyling 10inc on again JBarnes emerger pattern as there was a fair hatch at the time. Access to from Hut to Spout was very difficult and is needs attention although did manage to get to the Spout. A lot of water coming through but had no luck and didn't find the fish. Tried the Ferry Pool but again with no luck. Again weather didn't help.
PS: Had a great stay at The Cedars Guest house - Builth Wells. Best breakfast in town and easy parking outside 5 stars.

Rainy day.
Wipers stopped working 5 mins away from Gromain.
Fish were safe as houses on the beat today!

Fished a salmon rod intermittently today but mainly fished for trout with the gauge at around 1’.
Fish varied from tiny to 12-13”. Mostly caught on top dropper offerings, March Brown spider, Naylor and GRHE. A couple of the bigger ones on a Sunray.
Unusual not to hook any accidental grayling with the trout being so active. All quickly returned.

The water was running quite high and fast which, when combined with tricky wading, made access quite difficult. We fished for less than half an hour in total. Still, a nice spot and a good weather.
