Fish rising sporadically all day - caught 5 grayling all on dry fly - mainly small, best fish just over a pound.

5 Grayling

Good day on the dries, water at good height and running clear. All the trout taken early on, biggest been around 14" others between 6" and 10". Biggest grayling 16" others between 6" and 12". Fly other day was a para reddish brown pheasant tail. Various flies trickling of during the day, Caddis, LDOs, BWOs Iron Blue duns. The top half of the beat is starting to get overgrown with brambles which isn't good for the waders and I lost the path a few times.

6 Trout, 13 Grayling

First time on the Irfon. Blown away by the beauty. River very low. Only a few small fish rising. Iron blues hatching. My thanks to the beat owner. Very impressive. Feels lovely and wild but good access and no barbed wire in sight!

Water slightly high and stained when I arrived but clearing during the day. 4 grayling to 15" and three trout including one at 17" & one at 18", the latter a cock fish with quite a pronounced kype. All on wet Coch-y-bonddu or parachute Adams. Amazing to see such good trout but worth also mentioning the following day on the lower Cammarch Hotel beat (not through WUF) when a dozen to the same methods included one 20" Brown, the biggest I have seen on the Irfon.

Beat not fished. Poor weather forced change of plans. Hope to visit and fish another time.

First of all, may I say, what a stunning place to be. I think my brother spent as much time taking photos as he did fishing. Water levels were very low and very few fish were evident. We did manage three very small trout between us although that was more by luck than judgement. Just a phenomenal place to be on a Sunday and we will be back (when there's a bit more water!)

Very difficult fishing, not a lot of action on the water
first few small (about 15 cm) trouts on a nymh, late on the evening 3 on a dry fly

Fished on this beat for the week end; Saturday water a bit muddy caused by the heavy rain, but managed to catch 8 Browns with nymphs, 2 fishes over 1,5/2 pounds. On Sunday water was finally clear, sunny day, level drops down a bit. Fished most part of the day with nymph, lots of bite and many fishes lost. Later in the afternoon few fishes were rising, and with dry flies got 2 good sized graylings. Great beat, great location,surely I will come back.

20 Trout, 2 Grayling

Very wet! One trout caught. I have fished this part of the Irfon a few times over the years, the path along the edge of the river has become very overgrown.
Will be back next year.

Fantastic beat offering a huge amount of fishing. We fished from 11 - 7pm and only accessed half the beat. Water was a bit brown after all the recent rain + showers throughout the day. Most fish taken on nymphs with the occasional spider. Some decent sized brown trout (biggest 1.5 lbs.) as well as some smaller fish, all returned.
