Beat:Pontithel - River Llynfi

Fishing:Winter Grayling

No. of Anglers:1

First time fishing Pontithel. The stream was much bigger than other wild streams I have fished. Started off with 6ft 3wt and soon realised I needed a longer rod. Good thing was the car park was next to the river. So a quick trip back to the car to change to 8ft6.

Had 1 grayling and 4 out-of-season brown, all taking deep pheasant tail nymp.

Could not fish all the way to the beat-end. About 3/4 up the beat, it became too deep to wade. Tried to go around but the left bank had barbed wire and the right bank had thick thorn bushes. Barbed wire was definitely a no. After successfully climbed the steep bank and used the wading stick to make my way through the bushes, ran into another barbed wire. So called it a day and painfully made my way back through the bushed to the river.

Overall, still enjoyed it. Oos browns were quite large for wild brown standard.

Ps > the grayling didn't make it way to the camera as it slipped out before the shot was taken

Lost a few flies in the abundant vegetation but an enjoyable half day exploring and problem solving (eg how to get down into and cast into the pools) on the Llynfi at Pontithel. I suspect the level was a touch too high and water too coloured for optimum grayling conditions. Still, learning a bit more with each trip out and would probably go back when conditions more suited. Parking is very close, as long as that layby is empty.

Nice day on the river. Nothing big caught, trout in the 6"-9"range and grayling up to 12". Spotted a grayfish in the clear and low water. Deep pools should hold some nice fish.....

3 Trout, 3 Grayling

Staying in Hay-on-Wye for the weekend with my wife. After a visit to Symonds Yat and Tintern Abbey grabbed a cheeky couple of hours fishing before dinner. Pretty beat with a good head of trout but the bank vegetation impossible to navigate so plenty of chest-deep wading along side some of the deeper pools!!! Managed 4 wbt to about 9 inches on a Parachute Adams before returning for dinner - Tomatitos in Hay which is super-friendly and well worth a visit.

River is low and clear. Trout are in the deeper parts of the pools towards the head. Lots of trout are chasing mayflies.
Caught a few on mayfly patterns but most came to the nymph fished deep. Very nice day on the river with plenty of nice trout caught.
