Another really muggy one , was out walking the pooch at four , that was pleasant having tried to get some zzzzz's in the stifling heat , so up with the bats and raring to go !!!!

Opted for the Edw at Cregrina , parked up ,looking a bit sorry for itself I thought !!! Oh well ,here now so tackled up and headed down to the start of the beat , some of the shady pools already showing some rises , so good news ,on with an eighteen Para Adam's initially . Some lovely confident takes this morning, on the dries . Stuck with them the whole three hour session , also fished a Parachute Greenwells , and some lovely takes on that too !!!

Very very slippy bedrock , pretty exhausting stuff too be fair , and fished a tad passed Fedw Farm ,with a tally of seven Edw browns to the net , and three or four slipped off !!! Had had enough by then lol !!!!

Up passed the bridge reminded me of fishing for blennies in Rock pools at Tenby beach , very cautious approach to them , and a cast at the head of each little pool normally produced a reaction to be honest. Fish today in the five to ten Inch range , great fun as always, lets hope this thunder weather produces some heavy rain . . . . That would be just the ticket !!!!! A spot on three hours sport , lovely job!!!!

River was quite low but still a good flow on Beat 3. Fished the left hand bank about 200 yds upstream from the car park using 12mm pellet and feeder. A couple of early bites in the deep water towards the opposite bank and eventually netted a small but excellent Chub to about 1lb.

Left pretty soon afterwards as the heat was building and the threat of thunderstorms became more likely. Excellent communication throughout from Terry and looking forward to the next session.

1 Chub

Occasional rises during the day but not as much of a hatch as when we last fished a week or two back. At least 20people swimming, paddling or sunbathing near the corner but they left us alone so no problem our end. Fun. Both trout (returned) caught on dry fly (Taff’s emerged, pale spinner) fishing to rises

Hard going. 2 chub and an eel. No sign of any barbel.

2 Chub, 1 Other

River very low and temperatures very hot. Caught fish early before heat set in. All on pellet.

10 Barbel, 29 Chub

River conditions were excellent and gin clear. Didn't see many rises or hatches and fished dry dropper (Klinkhammer and PTN) or single dry fly to imitate small light brown flies on the water.

Craig Llyn is a wonderful beat on the upper Wye. Good parking facilities at the camp site and the river is very accessible and easy to fish. Some of the pools are very deep and in between it can be surprisingly deep as well. A wading staff is highly recommended.

We caught a couple of Grayling on dry fly Elk Hair Caddis size 16.

2 Grayling

Other fish included 2 eels (on meat) and a roach - Some human activity in the river as the weather was warming up!

Normal feeder tactics. Would of been better if I’d stayed later, also if there wasn’t 2 family’s swimming where I was fishing.
