8.5 lb cock on fly

River level dropping and getting clearer.
No fish showing all day. Fished the duo with a gold head nymph taking the fish.

6 Trout, 2 Grayling

Dry fly good river conditions and weather five fish up to a pound and one at a pound and a half.

Only really fishable pool was at the junction with the Escley - water level so low and even here there was no flow. No surface activity and only a couple of very sluggish follows to a goldhead nymph. Looked a very different river to my visit in early June.
Still an enjoyable day with Kingfisher(s) and Dipper(s) put in several appearances.

6 x grayling 13-16 inches, 3 x trout 6-11 inches, all on dry Red Tag. Funny sort of a day with Irfon dropping after a couple of recent floods, strong downstream wind, sunshine and showers alternating. A few nice grayling, but absolutely no natural rises, so fishing the water.

Fished for 2 hours this morning. The fish were still asleep so nothing caught

4 small trout caught between 4 anglers and 3 small perch not much as we were fishing all day! A bit disappointed but nice surroundings and nice seeing red kites!
I think for the money it cost! More fish need to be stocked and larger fish! I'll be trying llys y fran next time!

A hot and sunny day so fishing in the lower wooded section seemed sensible. Finding a snag free part of the swim was important but once accomplished a few fish seemed willing to feed. TS moved to the meadow in mid afternoon and found some fish feeding from5 pm onwards.
Swimfeeder with pellets or boilies as meat baits were soon devoured by the hordes of small Eels. Best Barbel of the day weighed 9lb6oz & 9lb3oz.
Very impressed with the swim clearance work in the meadow. Wildlife event of the day was seeing a kingfisher escape the clutches of a sparrowhawk in mid river and still fly off with a tiny fish in its mouth.

15 Barbel, 1 Chub

River still very murky and levels too high to allow wading with limited areas for fishing a fly from bank possible.
