River very low, extreme stealth required. Trout to 12", grayling to 14" with a couple of good fish lost.

Just a wee bit of colour in the Irfon, yet it was still very low. Tried NZ rig, nymph, dry fly, emerger - everything except dynamite. There was some fly life; there were a few rises. The grayling (14" to 16") fell to suspended nymph, emerger & dry fly (a kind of Sherry Spinner). The 2 trout took the dry. The bigger was only 12".

An overcast day with bursts of sunshine made for a pleasant day on this relaxing beat. The water was low but enabled you to cover most parts of the river. No real hatch to speak of but still a few rises. Two Grayling, 8 & 12 inches to dry fly and two Absolutely stunning wbt of 9 & 11 inches on an olive emerger. Aren't the Irfon brownies beautiful!

Last time out I lost one of my felt soles from my wading boots so, as I haven't had chance to repair them yet, I needed a beat I could fish in wellies. This beat is perfect for that, although the wooded areas would require waders. Saw a number of fish in the low water conditions but couldn't tempt any with my offerings. Lots of parr splashing at the fly and two of these were the only fish to stick; one on an emerger the other on a nymph.
There was a good variety of fly life around from tiny midges and small upwings to huge daddies. Lovely stretch of river with lots of variety. I'll certainly return.

Very hard days fishing, river coloured up after heavy rain night before. 1 barbel caught in the morning and that was it for rest of the day, not even a sniff. Oh well, that's fishing!

Two fish caught on worm with popup.

The river came up a couple of inches, not enough to get the salmon moving. River still at summer levels.

Perfect conditions, other then a lack of water. A brilliant place and I'll certainly be back. Saw plenty of fish, although quiet stale. Tried a sunray shadow in desperation at the end of the day and had my first and only touch, although nothing hooked and it was pretty timid.
