Very nice day river a bit murky but no fish to be caught or seen

First trip this year, I knew the Llynfi would be running high from the Natural Resources Wales website but it was a lovely day after the sun had warmed the initial mist away. River was high and a light amber colour, looking in good shape. There were even some olives hatching about the middle of the day, but I saw only 1 small fish jumping after a fly. I tried hard for a few hours , using deep bugs, nymphs, shrimp and even a dry fly but neither saw or touched anything. Also had to work hard in the current, wading staff essential!! Still very enjoyable to be out and about again...

River up but dropping. Worked hard for 1 barbel of 7lb 4oz.

1 Barbel

Like our previous sessions on other waters the river was high and pushing through but we managed to pick out a few trout, grayling and salmon parr off the main flow in the calmer water.

4 Trout, 4 Grayling, 2 Other

The river was high and coloured but began to drop as the day went on. Two of us fished and had a few trout and grayling from the lower end of the fishery. Persistent loosefeeding eventually got a few fish going.

6 Trout, 2 Grayling

No fish caught, saw remains of some barbel that had been dragged up the bank and killed by otters and also a dead trout that looked like it had escaped otters.

The river was pushing through and very coloured. Two of us fished but sadly no grayling to report.

Very cold day with strong winds, river was high and coloured following recent heavy rain, fished for 5 hours on variety of methods and baits all to no avail.

Arrived to find the river well up, banging through and rising buts it’s so enchanting scenery on this beat that I tried anyway.
Fished close in on meat, pellets and spices boilies. Didn’t catch this time but a very enjoyable day out.

No outstanding catch return here! River levels extremely high as the early morning recorded a level of 3.5ft and by the end of the session was 8.5ft! Was thinking of a wash off but you never know with barbel and floodwater as in the past have done well on other rivers with high levels. Fished my usual line of attack with baits etc but very difficult to hold anywhere apart from the near margin. Suffice to say it wasn't to be this time round and didn't even have a single bite. Still a cracking place to be in the Wye valley
