First time in Wales for discovery. No fish in dry fly, just one big brown trout seen and lost at striking.

An interesting days fish on a lovely beat.
There was very little activity early on but at around 1pm
a few Olives started to come off the water and fish started to look up, ended up with 3 fish all on dries; March Brown and CDC dun. Best fish was about 16" with a bigger fish seen but not risen.
A good day.

3 Trout

Last minute booking didnt start fishing till 4pm looked a bit gloomy and cold. 2 small trout taken on grhe and ptn nymph duo. Nice beat. Easy access and wading.

A blustery day with no surface activity. Lots of LDOs coming off between winds and mainly from noon until 2:30pm. We searched miles of water with a range of nymphs, emergers and dries, but it wasn't meant to be...this time. We'll be back later in the season when things have warmed up a little more!

Way too cold and couldn't stop the rings from icing up. We gave in after just a couple of hours!

Good weather three rods and no fish.

Beautiful day, river very low and clear. Fished most deep glides czech nymph style with no success and then tried nymphs on long leader also without success. Saw only one fish all day, a chub I startled. Best part of the day was sitting on the bank eating my sandwiches and looking up to see a red kite gliding above. Second visit to this beat, only seen one fish caught, is it conditions, me or no fish?

1 Grayling

Thought we would have a day on the Irfon as a change to the Wye, looking to catch a first Grayling for one of my angling Pals up from Stevenage.
River very low and water temps cold after the cold dry snap, walked the length during the day, discovered too many mouthwatering swims to mention, they all had one thing in common,( Bar two) there were no Grayling willing to show any interest.
Managed a first Grayling at 1lb 11oz for D.S and a second at a 1lb 8oz, both in perfect condition so he was delighted.
Found a shoal of chub feeding for the last hour and we managed 6 fish to 4lb 7oz
A great day in glorious surroundings, but Grayling fishing was hard even fining down hook-lengths and hook sizes.

2 Grayling, 6 Chub

Our first visit to the Wye and the river seemed to still be quite high. Tried numerous patterns with no success sadly. Very bright day with a few hatches and definately a venue for future visits.
