I fished as a guest of the owner of the stretch. The fishing was hard with a lot of search fishing. We covered a lot of water trying to find a pod of grayling. There was a lot of salmon parr, there were also two large salmon going around on the surface in one of the pools, a lovely sight to watch.

3 Grayling, 8 Other

No fish caught

Beautiful beat, well maintained and perfect for a grayling day. River looked to be flushed through following last week's rain and was very clear. Wading here is mixed with some impossibly deep pools and slippery bedrock, but it's possible to get a line to plenty of good looking spots. Managed 16 grayling, best was 19", and 3 trout. Most fell to a pink shrimp or ptn red tag. There was a hatch around mid-day and for half an hour grayling were rising all over the pool and I took 8 on the same olive emerger pattern.
Struggled a bit with cold hands and feet today and needed to take frequent breaks to thaw out, but well worth it.

Very well looked after Fishery. All pools clearly signposted and plenty seats which was nice. If parking at the caravan park, make sure you've got the right one. You will know when you've found it. Hard going but did manage to winkle out a nice trout of approx 1lb and a cracking 40cm grayling just below the island
Both Czech Nymphing.

Craig Llyn is one of the most picturesque fisheries I have ever fished. The morning was quite a slow start, picking up a few out of season trout. For the most of the morning we fish the French leader with a team of 4mm jig bugs. This method helped as the river was pushing through due to the recent rain fall but surprisingly, the clarity was perfect. We even had the opportunity to se a fair few salmon moving through.
Terry Bromwell and I would like to thank Shaun, Peter and Massey for the invite. Many thanks.

Water was up and pushing - Fair amount of colour but fishable - Had to work hard for the fish.

Members of the Welsh Rivers Team fished a very low river here on Sat. Quite a cold day, coupled with a strong wind meant the river was at times carpeted with leaves, difficult conditions to say the least! A good hatch of Large dark olives around midday however, had some fish looking up, and quite a few were taken on dries. Other than that, klink n dink, and nymphing methods produced the bulk of the fish. River badly needs a good flush through!
