19 x grayling 6-14 inches, mostly in the 10-12 inch range, 2 x out of season trout 11-12 inches, long distance trotting. Bright sun and a hard ground frost this morning, dull later.

The weather was against us being quite windy with the river up by 2.3m at Builth Gauge so not conducive to a productive day. No fish but a superb location and lovely piece of water

A chilly and misty morning, but arrived to find the river looking lovely - perhaps a touch high at ~135 on the Erwood gauge but crystal clear having been falling all week. I thought I might be on for a bit of a red letter day when a grayling snaffled my nymph on it's first drift, but in the end it didn't seem that the fish had really shoaled up, and I had to work quite hard for my 7 fish (and 3 oos trout). Six nice 10-12 inch fish, and one handsome 16-incher. All on tungsten bead nymphs.

A party of ~8 kayakers floated down early afternoon, and happy to report they were very considerate, asked from well upstream where I would like them to pass, and were in general very friendly.

Frosty start at 10am, water cold and clear. Spent the morning trotting maggots and the afternoon nymphing. Four of the grayling came to a nymph, the other fish to maggot. All fish safely returned.

Lovely spot and excellent access - there was a down stream wind and the river was heavy with leaves so a little challenging to keep bait leaf free. 1 lovely graying in about 2 hours fishing

I will definitely return when the leaves have fallen

One decent grayling approx 14” and one out of season brown trout, both caught on north country spider pattern.

Many Salmon showing. Two Otters swam past. The One Grayling I caught might possibly be the smallest ever caught. Beautiful autumn colours.
