Lovely evening on the beat although the river was pretty low for the time of year. Pleasure to meet the owners and see some of the work they have recently carried out.

One small WBT around 9 inches caught last thing before heading home on a small gold head nymph.

Beautiful spot will certainly be back after a splash of rain.

Good to meet the fishing owner and river keeper today.
March brown and caddis hatching, but only one or two fish rising.

River conditions low water, sunny day. Fish taking off the surface but caught small trout on wet fly using singled handed rod.
The fishing passport staff were very helpful in setting up the last minute days fishing at Abernant and the whole experience was great.

A short, dark, winter day with water levels very high - 2ft 3 inches on the Llanstephan gauge, so restricted to trotting and Tenkara. 20 x grayling 6-15 inches, 1 x chub 3.5 pounds, 2 x out of season trout 10 and 12 inches. There were some good grayling in that catch, but also a lot of small ones. There seem to have been many grayling parr in all our rivers this year - bodes well for the future. Some salmon kelts also present on the beat.

Nice frosty Sunday spent on this beat, didn’t see another person all day, just a few sheep that came to say hello in the farmers field. River levels were not the best but some pools were safe enough to wade. A few missed bites through the day and losing hope as darknesses drew in, when I landed a specimen Grayling in the runs below Lady Alexanders. Enjoyable day on a beautiful well kept piece of river.

Access from lay-by to water is easy and brings you to Lady Alexanders Catch. This is a superb pool and is full of trout and grayling . Wading is easy in this pool and it is perfect fly water. We trotted bait and fished fly and caught on both consistently. Fish were between 3oz and just over 1lb. I tried to investigate upstream and downstream areas but failed due to my age and dodgy paths.

Fished weighted nymphs from 1pm ‘til shortly after 5. A decent sized trout in the first few casts was followed by nothing at all for two hours before four grayling, three of which were ‘babies’. Water very clear and at a nice level for fishing.
