Nymph and wet fly. Clear, low water. Mostly small fish. Biggest grayling 26cm.

15 Trout, 2 Grayling

You needed to be down a bit in the morning and graying and trout were caught bugging in the faster runs. In the afternoon a few fish were showing and we caught on small nymphs and spider patterns.
The river is very low but the fishing was fun and it was a great day to be out. None of the fish caught were large but all gave a good account of themselves on light tackle. Lots of par around which were difficult to avoid.

With my usual haunts sadly devoid of water I made a rare foray onto the main river. No shortage of water here, Ty-Newydd is an impressive expanse of river in a beautiful location. I was eyeballed twice by members of the otter family and witnessed acrobatic salmon in Erwood Pool.
With little happening on the surface I stumbled on a successful formula; a weighted PTN and a Hare's Ear Emerger fished together on a short leader through the riffles. Both flies took fish. Most were small with half a dozen in the 9"-10" range.
A great day out.

Conditions good and pleasant weather. Very little surface activity, all fish taken on PTN. Trout were small but grayling were a fair size.

River was very low and clear. Weather overcast. Very little feeding seen. A few fish viewed but they were generally uninterested in what was presented to them. One bite on a nymph, but not landed. Lovely beat though.

Fish were returned.

Water level was low (not sure what it was on the gauge). Weather - overcast with E wind, 18 deg C. Successful flies were size 14 goldhead GRHE, spider patterns (patridge and orange) and 2 fish on dries - grey klinkhamer, although the fish were not freely rising. All fish were returned.
