Lovely evening with friends, upstream wind didn't help with casting or hatches. Very low water but a good chance to see potential lies when we get a rise. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Tricky fishing in still bright conditions. Fish feeding on a variety of flies with every fish wanting something different. Later on they switched on to grannom. Was a little under gunned with only a 3 weight to get over to rising fish. All in all a lovely beat though.

6 Trout

So I was asked by Tim (South African world fly-fishing team member) and his mate Peter over from South Africa , we visit this old haunt of mine for must be coming up 30 years , very trick downstream wind and Tim had given Peter his rod with 20ft leader Tough. shortened it down a little and mixed it up with a few techniques that Peter was not familiar with more of a story on my facebook page flyfishingwales we caught 12 trout , 3 shad (wye Tarpon) 1 Chubb, 6 grayling

what a disappointment after yesterday. Got to the beat and things looked good, well looks can be deceiving , only shad caught and nothing seen, this beat is causing us some problems as we don't understand why there are no fish here

fished the bridge pool both fly and spinner, had shad but nothing else, up to Hellrug or the spout fished the main pool and then down to the tail and bang into a small fish 4 to 5 pounds, three seconds later it was off, so more disappointment oh well thats fishing. Up to what was my favourite pool the Willow, and what a surprise the whole pool has changed and shifted , not sure about it now.

Second visit of the weekend and was hoping with better weather. Staring under suspension bridge and manged a decent Garyling 10inc on again JBarnes emerger pattern as there was a fair hatch at the time. Access to from Hut to Spout was very difficult and is needs attention although did manage to get to the Spout. A lot of water coming through but had no luck and didn't find the fish. Tried the Ferry Pool but again with no luck. Again weather didn't help.
PS: Had a great stay at The Cedars Guest house - Builth Wells. Best breakfast in town and easy parking outside 5 stars.
