A cloudy but mostly dry day. One large grayling lost before netting, one small grayling and one small trout netted and both safely returned. Excellent support and guidance from Jonathan Morris.

The weather gamble didn’t pay off. Heavy rain in Builth overnight meant that the river was high and brown. I persisted until late afternoon when the water dropped about 8 inches but it never really cleared. Apart from one short pull no fish all day.

Tried dries, wets and nymphs. No sign of grayling.

Weather very changeable alternating between showers and sunshine. Caught a dozen fish the best being an 11" WBT. Succeeded with a mixture of a small dry caddis and a Jon Barnes (Onstreamguide) rainbow beaded flash back caddis nymph. Water was very low but enough to entertain. Lower end of beat before the rocks was best. Used a 5wt 9' rod.

River at about 8" on the Llanstephan Gauge, bit low, but overall it fished really well. Fished the Rocks a couple of days before and took all fish on dries. Today all fish were taken on nymphs. What a difference 2 days and 10 miles makes and this makes wild fishing so challenging and enjoyable. Fish caught throughout the beat, plenty of decent grayling to 15" and one very angry wbt of around 14".
