Wonderfully day on the water. River temp around 16.5. 6 Grayling to the net on a combination of methods, nymph earlier in the day and dry's later in the evening. Thanks to Shaun and Rachael for the advice on how to tackle the evening rise.

I fished from 6am until noon then again for a couple of hours in the evening. All fish were taken on single/ double pellet with a ground bait/pellet river feeder. River very low and clear as expected.

Very low river as expected and lack of experience on this type of venue led to a disappointing day
Will come back in winter to try again.
No fish caught

19 degrees - casting practice

My fishing was hampered by the fact that due to arthritis in my right hand, had to cast left handed. This was not helped by a stiff downstream breeze. However, did manage to raise some fish, and landed 3, all caught on a size 18 black griffiths gnat.

Took advice on whether to book on this beat and was told around Builth and above the temperature was 15-16c, although the river was obviously very low, I decided to give it a go. A very picturesque beat in a beautiful part of Wales. Wasn't difficult to suss where the fish were even for an inexperienced fly fisher like myself, tempting them in the bright conditions was the hard bit.

Euro nymphing got me some action in the faster runs, on beaded hares ear variations, nothing flashy. I did try with a fly line but my casting is at best inept. Wading was fairly easy although the edw pool was bouldery. Lovely path up there through the woods and sat for a while listening to the woodpecker. Should have spent the afternoon with some casting practice but instead had a lazy lunch watching the shoal of chub at the top of stone catch and admiring the view. No doubt the evening would have been productive,but left late afternoon as it was getting a bit too hot for me. Would love to go back in the spring.
