River was about 2ft on the Erwood Gauge and 1'6" on the Rhayader gauge. It was a still a bit high, but crystal clear and very fishable above Newbridge. It was an eventful day. Several salmon jumping around, an otter worked the far bank, red kites and buzzards circling in the skies, and two large groups of canoes made their way downstream. Fishing between about 11 and 2.30pm, I managed a three grayling between 11" and 13" and one 11" trout, all on nymphs. Blustery, cold at times, and the rain came on in the afternoon. Saw a few olives, but not enough to get the fish rising. Good day. Glad I took the chance.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

One oos trout and a very small grayling, both on nymphs, nothing rising.

Only fished the morning in the bottom, slow moving pool. Very difficult to wade, but you can if you are patient. Sometimes you perform a few interesting dance-moves, even with a wading-stick. Again all the grayling were of a large size. Saw four "very large silvery fish" jumping in this section.

Did not fish river conditions were far too dangerous the river very coloured and in full spate due to rain over past 2 days.

"wash off" - River far too dangerous to fish, River very coloured and in FULL !! spate

I was about to go home Tues night , but had a look at the river further up and it didn't seem too bad ( a bit high but not too coloured ) but somehow during the night, even though there wasn't any more rain it had gone really brown ! .I had a go for a couple of hours but to no avail. Did have a near death experience when an oak bough fell 20 feet and landed only 4 feet away from me ! It was 6 ft long and as thick as my leg. I was waist deep in water at the time and luckily it just gave me quite a soaking!

River very coloured due to previous heavy rain throughout the night.
