Feedback & Reports

The river had dropped over night but was not ideal. Slightly coloured and a bit on the high side.

JC fished the top section and managed just over half a dozen grayling and a 2.15 lb brownie. All taken on trotted maggot. Fished the czech nymph without success due to the now rising river conditions.
Yes, it was raining again and even a short hail shower occurred.
RJ, PD, WH all fished the lower end of the beat all taking grayling to 1.13lb. RJ had in excess of 20 grayling and enjoyed a cracking duel resulting in a 4.05lb chub. PD had a steady day landing a dozen fish to about a pound. WH had a good dozen or so grayling and lost an absolute whacker after it had jumped clear of the water, slipping the hook in the process and causing a birds nest to add insult to injury.
A great day on a lovely beat. Stayed at the Bronwye guest house in Builth wells which yet again was superb. Thanks to all at the Wye and Usk for hassle free booking and great angling.

3 grayling around 12" - 1 wbt. River up and muddy, fish caught on trotted maggots in front of the big house.

Another good day on this beautiful beat. 7 grayling to 16" and 8 WBT including an 18" beauty thought to be around the 2 1/4lb mark! All came to upstream nymphs & bugs. Thanks WUF.

Ended up having to cancel the trip due to rain experienced leading up to the Wednesday, however I'm aiming to be back next week. A stunning beat!

A fantastic day was had by all. 3 rods totaled 21 fish, 6 wbt and 15 grayling. All taken on nymph patterns. Many thanks to the W&U foundation and all the staff for their help. We shall all be back as soon as work and wives permit. Best regards.

Heavy rain overnight put 18" of dirty water into the river. Despite a valiant effort by all, we couldn't muster a bite between us.

5 Grayling and 2 Brownies, plus the leviathan that "got away" - great day, even though the weather was grey and wet. Falch i ddweud bod tim Cymru wedi ennill cystadleuaeth "The Grayling Cup" - better luck next year to my fellow anglers who came all the way from Derbyshire and The Scottish Borders today. We will be back next year. Yn y cyfamser mae'r cwpan grayling yn sefyll ar fy silff tan y flwyddyn hon...ie ie ie!

1x 16" Grayling, 3x 12" Grayling, 2x 9" Brown trout all on czech nymph.
2X large cock salmon spotted.

8 or 9 grayling upto 1 1/4lb plus a couple of very small trout. Mixture of dries and nymphs. Pretty tough day on a beautiful stretch of water.

A great days fishing with conditions perfect. We caught over 30 grayling mostly of good size, around the pound mark with a few fish 1.5 to 2 pounds. All fish fell to trotted maggot under 7 AA clear avon floats fished with centrepins in realatively fast water along the upper half of the beat. This was our first visit to the Irfon and what a fantastic river it is. We will be back as soon as possible. Many thanks to the WUF for a superb days sport.
