Our first day on the Irfon. An interesting river but today coloured.
We will be back soon

Gave it an hour with 1 rod fishing and the other on the shoulder, but by 7am the river was up to 3ft and colouring fast so packed up and went downstream. Fish running through, saw fresh grilse when looking off bridge at the 6.10 start...persuaded us to give it a go, and 3 more in gravel catch when fishing it.

First time out for a month the recent rain hasn't affected the Lynfi much.
Fished Duo with a Tenkara rod as the wind was strong and gusty making line control very difficult. 4 Trout around 8 inches with 3 to the dry fly. Changed to a small dry at the top of the beat as there were a few Grayling rising,hooked and lost 2.

4 Trout

Fished with a single hand rod ,did not catch any fish. Very beatiful river.
The water was coulered. Wil come back this week and try again maybe I will have some more luck then

nothing happening at all , weather very windy and river running clear. most were caught on size 20 black gnat pattern and a few on nymph. lost a belter of a trout that took me under a submerged branch and snapped tippet . other than that fish all the rest between 5-12 inches. fly on the water was very limited until a huge hatch of midge and other than small fish rising there was no activity from the larger fish.

3 Trout, 10 Grayling

Great location for fishing. I had 7 grayling and 1 brown trout - 2 grayling fishing a duo, 4 grayling and 1 brown trout to French nymphing, and 1 grayling to dry fly. Found this beat very inaccessible due to the bankside vegetation, barbed wire fencing. For a stretch of river with a mile long beat, there isn't much actual fishing available.

1 Trout, 7 Grayling

Beat looks great but did not fish due to very coloured water

Included in the fish caught were largest 3 lb 3 ozs , also 2 lb and 2x1 lbs. A memorable days fishing on a superb beat. Beautiful surroundings, will be visiting again. Method used wet fly (silver bodied march brown and march brown variant with a red rib.)

6 Trout

Very upset that we did not cached any fish. We`ve been there for 8 hrs.

The river had settled after rising the day before and looked spot on, unfortunately the fish didn't think so and apart from one run on meet that the chub/barbel left the hook in the weed that was it. Tried 3 swims and all usual baits, however a nice tranquil day and no canoe problems.

Only downside was whoever fished the middle field swim left 10ft of line in the bushes which i tripped on and nearly went in, it only took me a few seconds to pull out, roll up and stick in my bag, why couldn't they do that.
