1x grayling 9inch dry Czech nymph.

Its a 50 minute uphill stomp to the llyn, the track is doable in a 4x4. It was blowing a fair bit by the time I got up there, limiting me to the east bank. I dragged a foam hopper through the chop and had plenty of action, landing 9 trout and missing as many. It was a great couple of hours. Beautiful up there. I spent the afternoon at Pond Rhosrydd (another AAA water) but came away with nothing.

Conditions were very good, overcast and a river falling....however the fish didn't think so.

Just a quick shimmy up this old favourite ....Tis only short, so wasnt there long ...WUF, HOW ABOUT GETTING THIS SECTION EXTENDED .....??????
Anyway, six on dries.... two were really strong , decent twelve inch fish , and, i gotta say they put a serious bend in the little six foot, two weight dinky dry fly rod ....Great fun !!!
The river level is back down, from the other day , wish it held its water a tad better !!!
The dry fly sport was pretty darn good though in fairness, but, there was a niggling, downstream breeze, making things tricky !!!!
The heron was half asleep when I turned up ... really gave him a shock !!!There's two resident herons that patrol the wye on the town stretch in Rhayader.... Those, dog walkers and the usual disturbances in a town river, means if I've got a client, who fancies an evening session, after dinner, we just get out of town a mile or so, where its peaceful !!!....
Fished the Oakfield beat for an hour and a half ...Really needs more tagging on to it !!! Make it worthwhile, for a travelling angler. I'll do a few farm recces this autumn....See how i get on !!!!
Overall, a fun, brief fish on an old favourite ......
Back over to Llanddewi for a couple of hours now ..
Happy days !!!!

Well, after a quick shimmy up Oakfield gave the top section of this beat, a quick going over....
Small, dinky fish nailing my tiny dries, great fun, but nothing of a decent size showing today , even in the likely positions . Still a fabulous session, and, spotted the mink ....Again!!! Always when ya not got ya gun hey !!!!
As stated before, rivers dropped back quickly, from the lovely freshen up a few days ago ...Those fish really responded aggressively to my dry...Today, they weren't so enthusiastic in fairness. A good bit of sport though, so can't really complain !!!
A fun overall sortie on two beats of a favourite river. Will start my investigations in Ernest for a tag on section to Oakfield !!! Watch this space.....lol !!!
