Slow today and didn’t manage to locate any shoaling Grayling. River still a bit too high to target them in their usual haunts though. Two nice fish of 15” and 16”, the rest small. Pink and purple grayling bugs took most of them.
I tried to upright the Llanstephan gauge as it had presumably taken a direct hit from a tree during the recent spates. Only a little improvement unfortunately and it will need to be reset in due course.

Finally managed to rebook a wash off from September. At 1.11m on the NRW Erwood Gauge, the river was a little high but very clear and very fishable.

Most of the grayling looked identical at about 10”, but a couple might have stretched to 12”. All caught on nymphs, either under a dry fly or straight lined. A few fish splashed at the dry fly, but nothing stuck. The grayling were hard to find, seldom catching two in the same place. All fish returned.

A group of about 10 canoes came through in the morning, and 3 paddle boards in the afternoon.

Sunny almost windless day, river running at a nice level and quite clear.

We trotted maggots all day, fishing the whole beat picking off odd fish in each accessible spot.

The grayling were had to find but we kept moving and picking off the odd one, the trout were unavoidable though.
