Arrived at 5.15am, light drizzle and very humid, with weather set to improve later that morning. River was very low and gin clear, I walked from the car park to the top end of the beat trying to find any fishable spots but very few were found, I settled in the small beach area opposite the island as this looked a prime spot. Fished for about 3 hours and only two bites before contemplating a move, wound the rod in and walked up the beat to find another spot, on returning found two ladies wild swimming in my peg !! they very apologetic but they said they had no where else to access the water.
Worked my way back to the viaduct where I knew there were one or two accessible swims only to find there were anglers on the opposite side and not wanting to encroach on their water I opted to walk the bottom section where to river slowed in the hope of finding a suitable spot, having trudged a @ 1/2 mile and no swims found I returned to the viaduct and decided to call it a day early .
Blank saved with a nice 4.5lb Chub ..
Thanks WUF and the land owners for giving us anglers great access to a great river.

Just a quick shimmy up this old favourite ....Tis only short, so wasnt there long ...WUF, HOW ABOUT GETTING THIS SECTION EXTENDED .....??????
Anyway, six on dries.... two were really strong , decent twelve inch fish , and, i gotta say they put a serious bend in the little six foot, two weight dinky dry fly rod ....Great fun !!!
The river level is back down, from the other day , wish it held its water a tad better !!!
The dry fly sport was pretty darn good though in fairness, but, there was a niggling, downstream breeze, making things tricky !!!!
The heron was half asleep when I turned up ... really gave him a shock !!!There's two resident herons that patrol the wye on the town stretch in Rhayader.... Those, dog walkers and the usual disturbances in a town river, means if I've got a client, who fancies an evening session, after dinner, we just get out of town a mile or so, where its peaceful !!!....
Fished the Oakfield beat for an hour and a half ...Really needs more tagging on to it !!! Make it worthwhile, for a travelling angler. I'll do a few farm recces this autumn....See how i get on !!!!
Overall, a fun, brief fish on an old favourite ......
Back over to Llanddewi for a couple of hours now ..
Happy days !!!!

Well, after a quick shimmy up Oakfield gave the top section of this beat, a quick going over....
Small, dinky fish nailing my tiny dries, great fun, but nothing of a decent size showing today , even in the likely positions . Still a fabulous session, and, spotted the mink ....Again!!! Always when ya not got ya gun hey !!!!
As stated before, rivers dropped back quickly, from the lovely freshen up a few days ago ...Those fish really responded aggressively to my dry...Today, they weren't so enthusiastic in fairness. A good bit of sport though, so can't really complain !!!
A fun overall sortie on two beats of a favourite river. Will start my investigations in Ernest for a tag on section to Oakfield !!! Watch this space.....lol !!!
