3 Grayling

Fished various swims, trying different methods and baits but a very quiet day with no fish caught.

First time on this beat. The river was lower than I expected and it soon became obvious that any grayling would be holed up in the deeper pools. I decided to fish nymphs, both tight line and duo and sure enough the fish came from the deepest few pools. Although it was quite mild, the wind picked up and so I cut short the trip.

This is a nice beat with excellent access and easy wading - just need a bit more flow.

I caught eight grayling between one and two pounds in weight. Method used was long trotting with maggot. Although I tried many pools all the fish were caught in one spot.

Short 3 hour session , level dropped nicely on the Builth Gauge to 1.4m and a tinge of colour . First hour on the fly resulted in 1 nice Grayling around 1.5lbs . Switch over to trotted maggot through a deeper run saw another 5 plus an OS trout . Sun came out and that was the end of any action
