2 out of season grayling, very healthy and of just under 1lb (ish). Taking the dry fly. Also lost another 2 on the dry.

Great beat, although it is difficult underfoot while wading, it's manageable if you're without physical restrictions. You definitely need studs/felt and a Wading stick for stability and checking depth in front of you.

More challenging is the access to the water. If you're not able to climb down difficult banks, or willing to plough through overgrown trees and bushes this one might not be for you. There is no obvious path and quite a lot of river that doesn't have bankside access. Pools are accessible via the water, but as mentioned be prepared to go steady and slow with water getting past your waist quite quickly if you get a bit too confident!

One of those beats that could be fabulous if someone tackled the access to the water.

Hopefully that helps others. I'd go back as the pools are great and plenty of fish activity.. I'm sure they weren't all Greyling!

Bright sunny day but still cool and the water low and cold. Not a single rising fish seen but managed a few grayling on a small purple tungsten glitzy nymph. Didn’t see anything hatching and not even any terrestrials around. Still great fun and a lovely beat

Although we didn't catch any fish, we had an enjoyable day fishing upstream and downstream of the Lyepole bridge, in outstandingly beautiful surroundings.
There was very little fly-hatch, apart from a few small olives and only the odd rise in the pool just above the bridge.
I did briefly hook a small trout on a small green/yellow nymph (name not known) and had a snatch on a hare's ear klinkhammer, in the the pool at the first bend above the bridge.

Old Clytha is a short beat but works for me. Often only have a few hours to fish therefore a few more beats like this would be great, (What happened to Dan y Warren?). Lovely beat, nice day, although a bit cold. Water low and clear. Nothing for the first hour then a small hatch but not interested in my offering. Tried nymph and had a WBT at the top of the best, about 12inch, in good condition, returned. Enjoyed the day.
