River up and lots of weed coming down river following rain, static bait almost impossible with debris and boats - rolling meat took the fish.

Good day saw quite a few fish rising mid morning, most caught on a double badger. finished around lunchtime as the wind was picking up. fished the Sun Trevor beat.

over 150 canoes passed us from 9am to 6pm so fishing was very hard, we actually caught 3 individual canoes who didn't have a clue!
River had a lot of weed but flowing fine, we saw lots of Salmon jumping and apart from the very noisy (music blaring) canoeist it was a pleasant day
we tried various baits, Pellet, meat and Cheese but caught all fish on spicy sausage?

The river was very low indeed. The large pools on this beat were still deep but had very little flow. I’m surprised I caught one if I’m honest. Had another two pulls as well.

Was disappointed to be so close to residential properties .

Decided to give the Llynfi a bash from my regular Arrow and Lugg beats . . . . Was ten when I bowled up , a little overcast , 18 degrees and a nice breeze , things looked good .
Tackled up with my usual six foot two weight outfit , and a tiny parachute black gnat , almost immediately having several hits by small but very pretty trout parr , which is promising for this river , as two years ago was the pollution incident so happy days , and plenty of small fry and bullheads under stones . . . . .
Had my first "decent "trout , possible ten inches in the head of a deep pool , great spirited fight and quickly returned . This happened several times , with good rises , prospecting areas working my way up the river . Was a nice change from the confines of the Arrow beats , easy peasy , and wide and able to get a proper cast under the over hanging alders , great fun . Four of the brownies came to the dry , and two on a single small gold head PTN .
The deep pool half way up the beat , had a nice surprise , a lunker of a grayling took my nymph , steady bend in the six foot rod , beautiful specimen , possibly fifteen inches , and strong as an ox , quickly admired , then released , spot on !!!!!!
Had one more grayling again in the nymph nearly at the top of the beat , again in a deep pool , hit the nymph hard , about ten inches , and super condition . . . .
A really fun four hours , six brownies and two grayling , from this recovering cracking river , shall head back again very soon , oh and it would have been rude not to call in to the Honey Cafe and sample one of the delicious cakes and a cuppa, so obviously I did the decent thing and gave it a go . . . . . Again !!!!!! Great morning , and a nice chill out at the cafe . . Happy days !!!!!!!!
