Lots of hatches on a cloudy, muggy day and some great runs for wet fly & slow pools for dry fly, despite the river being lower than we've ever seen it. Fished the upper River Wye north of Rhayader yesterday, and the river was on its bones. But Glan-yr-Afon is still in good shape despite the ongoing drought-like conditions. I caught one on Waterhen Bloa about half way up the beat, around 6oz in a beautiful run. My brother tried the dry fly and managed to rise a few fish, but the hook wouldn't set! Superb setting to fish in, and the wildlife us remarkable: buzzards and heron flying directly overhead, and some chicks recently fledged dodging in and out of the overgrowth. All in all, a great session - but we desperately need rain, and lots of it!!

Fished 9am to 1pm on the 3 bits of faster water towards the bottom of the beat. Lots of missed take or fish shaken off but landed 10 brown trout from 6” to 12” and a couple of Grayling. Most fish taking a tungsten caddis, and a few on a pink tag.

10 Trout, 2 Grayling

I only drove up from Cornwall this morning so didn't have a full day on the water. Plus I forgot my wading boots so was struggling to wade in shoes and wasn't able to cover the water as well as I would have liked.
That said, it is a lovely stretch and I took a number of grayling up to 1.5 to 2lb max (Estimated) But some nice fish and brown trout up to about 14" .
Fish were taken on Dry fly, silver bead head PTN and brassie fished in conjunction with a dry fly indicator and a few were taken Euro-nymphing. The fishing died off in the late afternoon, some weather came in and appeared to put the fish down.
What a privilege to be able to fish such a wonderful piece of water. Thank you for all of your efforts..

Hard fishing today.People from canoe don't have respect for other people on the river.From 10am till 4pm no chance to fishing due to stupid canoe people

4 Barbel, 9 Chub

River was low so it was tough. We had small chub up to 1lb on the float and a Shad! Pellet and feeder was very slow going, but I had two really nice chub, both 5lb. Good day overall considering the conditions. Also saw a very large Salmon jump clear out of the water several times!

13 Chub, 1 Other

A good day that produced 5 barbel and 5 chub for one angler and 10 chub for the other.Chub were a good size but very slim after spawning.
The fishery is very well kept and easy acces to all swims.
