My first visit to this beat. Although water levels were low judging by the high bank line and exposed gravel it made for fairly comfortable wading, ( with a staff) and fishing. A lovely river to fish and although no trout caught I managed five very nice grayling up to about 17inches about halfway down the beat. The first 'came out of the blue' to a dry size 16 Elk hair sedge and gave me a merry song and dance leaping from the water about 3 times before I had him under control on my light tippet. Just proves that it is worth keeping your flies on/in the water even when confidence starts to wain. Having found one grayling I concentrated on that pool/area hoping that I had found a shoal. Others were caught using a very small pink head tungsten bead shrimp pattern under an indicator and the fish kept getting bigger! Great fun and I plan to return. Thank you.

5 Grayling

Fished two sessions, morning and evening in the Woods section. Used 12mm pellets with a long hair to try and avoid the chub. I also ignored the chub pulls, unless they effectively hooked themselves. 4 barbel in the morning and 4 in the evening, all relatively spaced out. I could have caught many more chub, if I had been striking at every pull. Largest barbel a very nice fish at 9lb 3oz. Others all in the 5 - 7 lb range. River seemed to be at about normal summer levels, but was very coloured.

This is a lovely open beat, myself and S.P the other half had an excellent couple of hours, it was her first time on a stream and resulted in her first wild trout on a dry fly and her second.

Great morning, llanddewi meter was reading .125 so fairly showing its bones but plenty of life about and the treat of a kingfisher too.

Beautiful, sunny day. Not a lot of activity on the water. Saw plenty of midges and mayflies, but no rising trout.

Hot , sunny and windy day . Very difficult conditions but had a lovely small trout each on a wet fly and nymph . Fish not rising , or coming to dries . Both fish returned .
Stunning place to fish , will come again when cooler
