Amazing day - lots of flies hatching. Small salmon parr was a surprise. Guided by Chris Price from Casting With Style who I would wholly recommend

10 Trout, 6 Grayling, 1 Other

We started fishing at 11am casting at rising fish with a significant hatch of March browns. All fish taken on dry flies. A fantastic beat, we lost at least the same amount again. We will be back.

7 Trout, 2 Grayling

Great day on this lovely beat. Some superb fish caught with both Grayling and Trout to 2lbs.
All fish were caught using a team of Czech nymphs on a Euro line.

No fish caught conditions far from ideal

I made this trip to take advantage of the unseasonably warm late February weather. It was a very bright day but still with a sharp frost when I arrived around 8:00 - far too early as it turned and I could probably have stayed in bed for another couple of hours. Nothing happened until mid morning when my first grayling came to a heavily weighted nymph. Thereafter there was a steady trickle of small flies coming off the water but the only fish I saw rise were those that swirled at and missed my fly. I caught steadily until mid-afternoon, mostly with spiders (snipe and purple, and partridge and orange) fished in a team with a weighted nymph on the point. All the fish were in lovely condition with the best trout and best grayling each around the pound mark. All the fish came from the Cillau run near the lower limit of the beat. A lovely day all in all.

washed off

A difficult day, with a brutal down stream wind. Nevertheless, it was great to be out, having been cooped up in the office all week. We managed to find half a dozen small fish towards the bottom of Bachawy Pool (in the deeper water). As ever, the Pink Shrimp was working best (middle dropper). A lovely beat, with safe, off-road parking and a short walk to the river. Look forward to swinging those Spiders, come the Spring!
