27 x grayling 8-17 inches, 11 x out of season trout 7-10 inches, long trotting with a centre pin. How good it is to get out on the river again after a month of floods and indoor frustration! The Irfon had come down to a very nice height; plenty of water still pushing through but very little colour. A warm, grey day with just a little drizzle, but nothing to affect the river. More pesky trout about than usual at this time of the year (and no visible signs of spawning about them), but the grayling were mostly good ones with two fish at 17 inches and quite a few in the 15-16 inch range. The Wye is still high.

8 chub, 2 barbel, 1 pike. Meat and cheese paste.

Great days fishing, plenty of grayling to 2lb, lots of small trout plus one chub of 4.2lb, all taken on the pin.
Many thanks to all.

A great day on Sunday, although it was one of the first dry days we'd experienced, meaning the ground was still very wet and the water high and coloured. Despite the conditions and, as we were there, we decided to crack on and give it a go.

Fishing every method in the armoury, and after searching nearly the whole beat, we were unable to connect with anything fishy, a product of the high waters, but it was good to introduce a friend to this water and great to be out after so much time away thanks to the rain.

Mixed day of weather on a fairly swollen, muddy river. Chest waders mandatory, particularly for bottom section. Variety of nymphs used with no success. Pretty spot and generally good access.

Blanked due to rapidly rising river - 5 foot above normal levels. Did hook a Jack but lost at net. Helpful owner tried to put us on fish, will be back again.

Thanks to all at WUF for helping me take a day's fishing at Cefnllysgwynne. The river was rising steadily during the day and was too high & coloured to fish by the end. I managed to winkle out a solitary grayling on maggot early on so all was not lost.

Blank. River was in flood. Was good to meet Don though, very helpful, hopefully be back in June.

A blank day. Far too much coloured water for satisfactory fishing. A pleasant day none the less.

Arrived in the drizzle to find the Irfon pretty high and coloured. Debated whether or not to have a cast and as ever hope got the better of experience.

Both rods fished heavy and brightly coloured bugs and were rewarded with 2 grayling 6" and 9" and one out of season trout at 9". Certainly more than we expected.

Saw a half eaten hen salmon on the bank (otter?) and heard a report of another salmon supper on the beat. For a river that has had its problems it's encouraging to see salmon reaching the Irfon to spawn.
