Unfortunately a blank for 2 anglers. Fished upstream section trying 4 or 5 swims. Tried variety of boilies, pellets and meat. Not even a chub. Were a couple of Otters active though. Bailiff Stefan thought these were the problem. Shame as looked great stretch with good access and roped pegs etc. Be prepared to lose some gear in last peg upstream as very snaggy.

Conditions a bit different from last week. Overcast with an occasional upstream breeze. Decided to give the French leader a go today. Found grayling, but only small Shotts. Landed 8 on a ptn pattern fished deep.

Lovely day in mid-Wales on a lovely beat I have been wanting to fish for a couple of years. Surprisingly mild and fish were rising from 1pm to 2pm in the long bend pool. I throught they were trout when the classic red tag was ignored. The change to a Ducks dun was taken first cast by a grayling, which then put the pool down!

Between us we brought 7 grayling brought to hand. One of 6oz, 4 between 10oz and 1lb, with 2 around 1.5lb. One on dry, one on nymph and the rest of klink and dink. 6 OSS trout to around a pound as well. Hooked a mid teen salmon on a holo nymph, it was fun while it lasted. The barbless hook should fall out. A couple of other salmon showed in the beat which was good to see.

6 Trout, 7 Grayling

Not been here for 3 years , great to be back . Incredibly mild day , river looking perfect .
First fish within seconds of casting , and then a nice steady flow throughout the afternoon. No real lunkers today but great sport none the less . All barbel around the 6lb mark , biggest chub at 4lb . All caught on pellet and feeder . Not bad for 5 hours fishing .
Looking forward to returning in the summer
