Feedback & Reports

Another very enjoyable day on the Irfon in near perfect conditions for the time of year. 21 grayling between 2 anglers. River at 0.4m on the Cilmery gauge, overcast, dry and little wind. Grayling were very localised with the majority of fish coming from 2 spots, having tried a large number of likely looking areas throughout the day. Trotting maggots - plans to use the fly rod were abandoned when waders sprung a leak at midday. Saw a salmon jump at the tail of one pool and an otter surf down one of the falls. Largest grayling about 15 inches and many around 12 inches.

Enjoyable day float fishing red maggots. Water quite low, found most of the fish at the lower end of the beat near the town. All in beautiful condition between half and 1.5lb, lost several including a couple of larger ones.

Very enjoyable day on a nice beat. Grayling up to 1lb caught on nymph flies on sections with drop off to deeper sections.

Fabulous day on the Wye. Hovering around 5degrees with lots of cloud cover.
Managed a Grayling of about 1lb to the net in the morning aswell as a WBT of about 1/2lb in the morning. Both taken on a PTN under a strike indicator, both within about 10 minutes of each other.
Then later in the afternoon managed another Grayling of about 1lb on a olive CDC emerger.
Fantastic day.

Well my last free day of the week well spent. Again it was freezing cold which certainly doesn’t help with your technique when you can’t feel your fingers haha! Even still it has seemed harder to locate the grayling Czech style the last few days, maybe a french style would suit better with the clear/shallow water.
Caught a beautiful fish on a hand tied disco shrimp though which was more than enough for me.

River looking good but I found it hard to locate fish; 2 grayling 6-9", 1 OOS trout 12" on pink headed nymphs.

Cold,damp and overcast. Tried czech,french,duo and dry all to no avail. Must be doing something wrong!
Nevertheless good to be out on the river again.
