Only 1 angler fished. Tough day today - 7ft 3ins on the river when I arrived at the peg. Lovely day on the river weather wise
Tried every bait "known to man today" but could not induce a bite. So have just chalked up my first "blank" of the season - It had to come and some time !

Blanked !!!!

1 grayling lost in the first half hour then nothing all day apart from one possible tickle. River still high and backside scrambling tricky.

Lovely day river was nice colour and up a few feet . Only thing I caught a deformed barbel due to being wrapped up in braid with a big barbed carp hook in its mount, which I managed to cut it free.

River still quite high but dropping. Good day had even though the barbel didn’t really show which was a surprise given the conditions. Chub caught from every peg we tried. All fish came to feeder and meat.

Beautiful day, 14 or 15°C very light wind and the river dropping overnight to a good level and not pushing through as hard as yesterday. Sadly no grayling found only trout ( all very fit specimens ). Tried upstream and downstream nymphing as no rises without joy, then switched to trotting all afternoon. Had a salmon come past my feet and was close to another that jumped twice in quick succession. Are grayling numbers on the decline in the Irfon? Lovely beat, will be back for some trouting next season.
