Feedback & Reports

Didn't rain here overnight but somehow the river had come up over a foot !. The visability was not too bad so I decided to give it a go. Couldn't get to any of the better spots but still managed to fluke out a grayling of 12". Bit of an issue parking, the owner has put up a sign now telling you where to park and has then left 2 cars in it! . I sqeezed in next to them but I was half across the driveway. The rest of yard was just full of all Manor of stuff!

1 Grayling

River was about 2ft on the Erwood Gauge and 1'6" on the Rhayader gauge. It was a still a bit high, but crystal clear and very fishable above Newbridge. It was an eventful day. Several salmon jumping around, an otter worked the far bank, red kites and buzzards circling in the skies, and two large groups of canoes made their way downstream. Fishing between about 11 and 2.30pm, I managed a three grayling between 11" and 13" and one 11" trout, all on nymphs. Blustery, cold at times, and the rain came on in the afternoon. Saw a few olives, but not enough to get the fish rising. Good day. Glad I took the chance.

One oos trout and a very small grayling, both on nymphs, nothing rising.

Only fished the morning in the bottom, slow moving pool. Very difficult to wade, but you can if you are patient. Sometimes you perform a few interesting dance-moves, even with a wading-stick. Again all the grayling were of a large size. Saw four "very large silvery fish" jumping in this section.
