River still very high after weeks of rain

1 out of season trout.

Was luckly with the water levels (.8 at Cilmery) – a little higher than I’d have liked, but it was more than fishable. Mostly out of season trout to nymphs, but when the sun broke through the heavy rain clouds, a few fish started rising and a beatiful 17.5” grayling put a huge smile on my face, having taken my tiny traditional grayling dry fly. A beatiful stretch of water, the grayling might be few and far between, but if you catch one, it’s usually a specimen.

Didn't manage to start fishing until after mid day ,river was completely different from 2 weeks ago then 0.895 at Cilmery today 0.475. fished for maybe 1.5 hrs without a nibble so change to a pink headed pheasant tail within 3 casts got a small grayling with didn't make the net then hooked on to a good size grayling 17" plus (which did make the net) no more than 3 casts after first had got off. Both where in a deeper gully. left lunch in the car but didn't forgot the can of "Veltins" out of date lager( what a surprise)which i consumed on the river bank. fished until 2.45pm not another bite. Back at the car ate my last of the season tomatoes with Cheddar and half a French stick. Went home feeling very pleased with myself.
I am sure a better angler would have caught more , a beautiful stretch of river will be back.

River seemed too high, coloured and rising. Fished for an hour but very little encouragement. One fish hooked and lost euro nymphing.

Arrived 11.30 got going around mid day .river running fast(.0.895 level at Cilmery) and low visibility so expected a tough day.
Proved right for me with not a bit .A W managed a couple of bits and did catch a small grayling tight to the bank
A great stretch of river both agreed to come back when river has dropped.
Highlight of the day, A W has moved from away Wallers Gala pie to a Tesco Polish sausage !!!
Low point, this new speed limit in Wales.

River was looking good at the start. Heavy rain at intervals made it a bit difficult in places. All fish caught with black gnat on 14 hook. 2 trout about 9" and one around 11". Grayling, 10"or so.
