River extremely low. No fish in it. Waste of time and money

Very pretty best buy a strong downstream wind,some activity at the lower section,but we are fairly incompetent so no fish caught.

A pleasant few hours on a lovely beat.
River very low and clear, with bright sun, and very little insects hatching
There were one or two occasional risers, but not enough inscets to actully get them up and on the feed.
So a nil return, but still a nice way to pass a few hours.

Lovely sunny Spring day. A bit blustery and water level low, too low for me to do any good. Probably needs some rain to be at its best, but it is a lovely beat and I will be back when the water level is a bit higher. Fished weighted nymphs.

Well, a disastrous, long awaited start to the season ! Only one of us was able to dip a toe in my much loved Irfon today. My mate had to deal with an inept builder so had to cancel . I arrived and had a chat with lovely Joyce and her neighbour, she and her grandson are quite excited about letting out this stretch. Unfortunately, although the “heavy overnight rain” predicted hadn’t affected the the levels, I’m afraid the nasty cross and downstream wind did ! Oh , I became feeling quite unwell too ?! Aborted after a couple of hrs, no cast presentable so no ladies/wbt . Nice beat as far as I could see. Gutted.

Lovely bit of water. Watched otters checking and catching fish in the middle of the beat. After this no fish seen . Lovely day though

total wash off

A bit of a disaster really - all weather-based. The BBC had been forecasting "moderate winds" of 10-12 mph (?) and 9 degrees, with some light rain later in the afternoon, after I was planning to leave. As I drove across Monmouthshire and the Brecon Beacons, there was rain but it was increasingly being followed by patches of blue. I decided to press on. Wrong idea. When I arrived, my car said 4 degrees. As I tackled up, my fingers began to stop working. The wind had really picked up. I had only been at the river 15 mins when the horizontal rain and hail started. Casting was literally impossible. I surrendered after 30 mins and drove back. From what I saw, this new beat looks delightful. That'll teach me to under-estimate February grayling fishing....

A lovely piece of water, fished hard in what seemed like perfect conditions for the time of year, 2 good grayling landed, 1 lost. Definately coming back.
