Fished from 5pm till 8pm two trout one got off, both took phn .plenty of insect life when the sun came out around 7 pm but no signs of fish rising. what a great place to be on a summers evening.

The river is very low (0.57 on the Erwood gauge) and there is very little flow in the pools to swing a fly. We didn’t see any salmon, but two small trout saved a blank. The sheltered area at the shepherds hut gave very welcome respite from the frequent heavy showers.

1 x Grayling caught Euro Nymphing. River quite low and quite clear. Some surface activity in places.

1 Grayling

7 Trout hooked in all, 4 to the net plus the Grayling. All size 14 PTN with a bit of flash, all in shallow water. Very warm and bright. We both were testing wader repairs- all watertight!

This is a stunning stretch of the Upper Wye. Parking (once found - instructions are clear but the navigator's ability to read them not so much) is a well located. Walk down to the gate (there is a hut there but that's not the river hut marked on the map). Very good conditions apart from a gusty wind. The Grayling Whisperer had a successful day using nymphs in the outflow around Ciliau Falls & Rocks and Ciliau Run. Wading a little tricky in places. Good stretch of water that kept us interested all day.

We stayed at The Griffin Pub in Llyswen which we would recommend.

Lovely day on a new beat for me. Fished up from the car park to the holiday cottage "Ty Newydd". Not much action during the day, but managed to take a nice size wildie in a channel between to rocks. Fly used was a green and black nymph.
