12 grayling 9 over 10 inches. All on nymphs, below the bridge. Caught my best grayling about 2 pounds. Good day

12 Grayling

24 x grayling 12-18 inches, five on nymphs and the rest on dry Grayling Steel Blue. A cold and foggy start so we lingered over Olympic Breakfasts in the Builth Wells Little Chef (in the grayling anglers' tradition) before making our way to the river. Some time was spent nymphing, but it was really a dry fly day, warm and still, lots of leaves on the surface, and pale wateries hatching regularly. Very nice dry fly fishing, the kind of autumn day we hope for, with a very good average size of grayling - no shotts taken at all. A heavy cock grayling measured at 18 inches was the last fish of the day as dusk came on.

24 Grayling

Fish evident, but my skills not adequate to tempt any! Was using a green olive and only saw a couple of rises, though there were flies above the water. Maybe a nymph might have worked better.

Fished by Boy's Rock (back eddy gave problems) and then next swim down for 7 hrs without a bite - and then had an 8lb barbel on halibut pellet. Well worth the wait! Several salmon seen jumping out - the crash does keep you awake!

Fishing conditions not perfect with very little fish activity throughout daylight hours. Majority of fish caught as light began to fade into evening. Fished feeder tactics using boilies and pellets as hook bait.

8 Barbel, 7 Chub
