Beautiful afternoons fishing, feeder and pellet, 3 barbel and a chub.

River was too low for salmon.

1 Trout

I had a great day on the river Towy, caught 9 brown trout, 2 of which were just over 2lb. No salmon and no sea trout caught. All fish were released back to the water. Fishing with spinners sv lures.

2 x trout to 1.5 pounds, 7 x grayling to 0.75 pounds. River pretty low, strong showers through the day, and a general shortage of surface activity. OB's contribution was managing to miss three nice grayling risen to the dry fly. Meanwhile CB caught the rest on nymphs.

2 Trout, 7 Grayling

Arrived around midday, river looked very good, just a hint of colour, weather was mostly sunny with the odd shower. Started by walking to the far end of the beat and noticed the odd fish topping on the way so started with a Daddy as there where lots in the fields. I was covering fish but had no takes on it at all, there was also no hatch going on and very little insect life so quite what the trout were taking was a mystery. I soon switched to my faithful Greenwells Glory dry fly which I find will produce almost anywhere and so it proved to be the case today. Targeting the steadier glides I managed plenty of takes, missing most unfortunately but I did manage two respectable sized brown trout in excellent, hard fighting condition, both returned none the worse.
Lovely afternoon on this great beat, thank you Wye and Usk Foundation, I'll be back for more.

I returned after a week to see if I could find grayling and the bigger fish that I know are in the river.
It was a day of short sporadic hatches and fish totally preoccupied with something other than what I was chucking at them.Both nymphs and drys were nudged or just plainly ignored....until around 1pm when I arrived at the same small and shallow pool where I caught both trout and a grayling the week before,here again feeding was in earnest and I caught a fish of each species, both really strong and fit and around 12"on a Greenwells 14.....struggled on until heavy rain but the big ones eluded me.

Day 4 of the tour with James Bullock and Sandy Geyer. Back up the river - the beat info says wading is tough, it aint kidding! We had two swimmers....
But being well up river again the big grayling were back to the fore - most of them were over 14" with the best going 18...and don't they fight! All on dry, required a few changes to find the preferred pattern.
Heavens opened at 3 - stuck it out for an hour and took a trout in the downpour... but by 4 enough was enough and we called it a day.
We have had 107 fish over 4 days (including Syfydrin)- a fantastic few days. The quality of the grayling, particularly in this beat and Doldowlod, has to be seen to be believed. Thanks to all in the office for their help in sorting out the fishing on this wonderful river. Phil
