I’ll be honest , I was told to fish for the table today since a meal, which would benefit from a nice grayling , was to be prepared. I chose Aberbwtran because I know there are some decent fish there and it is one of the beats that has a 2 fish bag. Always difficult and really tricky wading but a really lovely place. First one, 16 inches from the big pool to a barbless hares ear nymph and the other two 10 and 12 inches to a rusty Klinkhammer at bottom of the beat. Only took one home!

First time on the Irfon and found the wading at the bottom end challenging! Water up a bit and some colour,0.5 on the Abernant gauge. Rained heavily and winds gusting around 20 mph didn't help. All fish came from the tail of the top pool Trout 8 and 12 inches and a very nice Grayling of 16 inches.

What looked a double figure Salmon jumped in the top pool as I was leaving.

Excellent day’s nymphing. Used two beaded nymphs on a French leader rig. Most of the fish were in the 9 to 12 inch bracket with the biggest at 15 inches.

The river was is superb condition given the fairly decent amounts of rain, probably a foot higher than a month ago. Tried a fish imitator first up (it was a fly recommended to me, but I forget the name!). But not a touch, even down the long glide at the heart of the beat. Then I tried a damsel fly nymph - again, not a touch. In between times, I saw just one small fish gently rise. I then reverted to the tried and trusted PTN - and in the same main glide the original fly had had no success, I got a contact! Turned out to be a small trout that threw the hook! And then no more luck. I haven't really connected with the fish that are undoubtedly here despite several goes here now. But I love the solitude of this beat, so I will keep coming back. But I'm just not sure how differently I'm fishing this beat compared with other anglers here who very often seem to catch plenty!!!

All taken on a dry fly, and all returned to the river (barbless hooks). One Trout was over two pounds and one Grayling nearly one and a half pounds - the others all takers but smaller. Water lower than the day before, but still dangerous and difficult to wade.

Cilmery gauge at a little over 300mm. Mild and overcast with a hint of rain in the air. Fish were rising fairly freely today, to midges mostly. 12 grayling (mostly cock fish) to 15" and 3 trout of which the largest was 10". Most fish took a small rusty klinkhammer but the largest grayling rose to a deer hair emerger.

This is a lovely, secluded beat and probably ideal for a morning or afternoon fish, but could last longer if you take your time, like I did! The river was in pretty good condition, and a small trout briefly took a PTN right at my feet where the oncoming stream meets the main stem of the river before rushing into a very deep pool. It shook the hook, but it was great to see so close in. A bit further downstream I briefly connected with another, larger trout, probably around the pound mark, on a CDC, but it wasn't on long!!! A handful of trout rising & quite a bit of fly life on the water.

As well as the trout, I found a bird nest in the hole of a tree whilst having lunch (they made quite a racket, somehow mistaking me, a 6ft human, for their mother bird!!), I saw squirrels (grey alas) and woodpeckers. And I also found a fledgling corvid lying almost motionless on the floor, clearly either injured or ill. Either way, it was in a very poor way, but it was amazing to see one so close. And buzzards overhead. It was a delight to be out with nature and to see all these amazing creatures! I'll definitely be back. Thanks WUF and the farmer landowner for making this private beat available.

Water very low, bright conditions, wind a challenge to accurate casting.
