Llanstephen gauge at 18 inches and Erwood gauge at just over a metre. Fished hard all day trying both tight line and suspender tactics with weighted PTNs but was unable to locate the grayling who perhaps were in deeper water than I could wade. River running exceptionally clear.

We fly fished for grayling. Water was very clear but not low. Weather was mixed with some sun and mizzle. Beat is very picturesque. We really enjoyed our day even though no fish were caught. I found your website and service second to none. Diolch yn fawr,

Arrived around midday to a fogbound very cold day, fished feeder as previous day in same swims, no bites or fish landed...quite bizarre given my previous days results..!

The temperature gauge read minus seven on arrival and four hours later read minus two. One 12 inch grayling from Ash Tree pool seemed a good reason for a complete novice to call it a day and head for some warmth. Beautiful countryside and river, will return on a warmer day.

Postponed a planned early start due to thick fog and a very hard frost, arrived about midday with the intention of roving with deadbaits, having proved unsuccessful and with no pike located a switch to pellet feeder for the last hour or so resulted in 6 quickfire chub to 4lb, a really enjoyable mid winter afternoons fishing.

Tried Chanstone again, fished much better than previous day, crawled to try and not spook fish....this time didn't see a fish or connect!! Water felt colder, but really felt that I would catch. Tried various Nymphs with long leader also dry fly as previous trip. Spooked predator birds of all species....!!

A very hard frost and a cold day made fishing very difficult, switched between maggot feeder and pellet feeder for bites

Frozen!! Thick fog minus 2 degrees, good to get away from the TV though. Nothing to report, happy new year to all at the WUF see you in the spring!

Had a few hours at lyepole. All took point fly, 2mm size 18 baetis aqua fishing duo with a 3.5mm jig baetis on dropper. all was going well till I knicked my waders and flooded my leg, this was in the first hour so after 3 hours cold had taken its effect and knocked it on the head. Very cold in the valley not going above 0 degrees all day.
