A little early. River was running high, but clearing nicely. A nil return, although I did bump a couple of fish on a swung March Brown. A few (one or two) fly came off the water around mid-day, but not enough to bring the fish up. A lovely beat, but I think it will be a few more weeks before things properly start to move.

Poor day previous day due to low water levels so didn’t fish

We had booked 2 days at Cefnllysgwynne, river painfully low, found 4 fishable pools after covering full length of beat.
Managed one tiny Grayling and 4 out of season brownies from one pool midway along the beat.
Gin clear water but no chub sightings despite walking whole length with Polaroids.
Didn’t fish Cefnllysgwynne on the second day, moved onto the Wye where despite low levels managed to find some fine Grayling.
Stayed in the estate cottage which was great.

Beautiful day but quiet on the fishing front.

A 19 inch out of season BT caught on a nymph whilst looking for Grayling.

Two of us covered virtually the entire beat trotting maggots in what I would class as pretty good winter conditions - level 0.6 at Climery after high water a few days before, good water clarity, and stable daytime temperatures for several days (4/5 degrees). Very hard work, I caught all 8 fish from just two pools, my brother blanked. Best grayling 1lb 6oz. Absolutely stunning scenery and a testing wild river. Trying another beat tomorrow.
