Well kept an eye on the gauge map after Friday and Saturdays deluge of rain, saw that the very Upper Wye , Ty Mawr and Clochfaen were dropping nicely and this morning early bells took a look and Pant Mawr gauge reading 0.243 spot on , so headed for the hills prompto !!!!!

Got there at ten , tackled up my old eight foot four weight , nice to get it out for an airing , and tackled up to sell tungsten nymphs , onf with a bit if pink see how the mop flops !!

Water at a lovely height and clear as a bell , proceeded prospecting the tiny nymphs , was a while before any interest, actually about an hour and a half , and first fish was a feisty little eight inch brownie, quickly slipped back in , hundreds yards up head of another nice pool , another fish on and ditto sand sized fish, another brownie, doooh , and that was a fairly drop pool for here , thought it initially may be a grayling!!!!

Lifted a few stones , very little invertebrae to speak off to be honest , and the water looks superb being so clear , worked my way up, and hour later had my last fish if the session , a ten inch scrappy little brownie, slipped back in . . . . .

It seems the population of fish here isn't huge , and the river screams fir a bit of cover really , some old fallen willows and boulders would provide some cover as it's very sparse in fairness !!!! Still a lovely four hours , dont think the temperature raised above six degrees in the Llangurig valley all morning , packed up at two, was nice to get out even though no grayling seen or caught , oh well maybe another day . . . . . . A fun session , back here or Clochfaen beat in November . . . . Happy days !!!!!

River was still high and a bit coloured from the heavy rain over the weekend, but it was a lovey sunny day and the oak trees on the bank were looking great. Good to be out (with no expectation of catching).

Extremely high water level meant we sadly couldn’t fish, well be back another time I’m sure!
