River a little higher than when I fished it on Monday, clear enough so that I could still see my feet in knee high water, but it was running through quite fast. Fished the same style and areas I did earlier in the week but with some added bad luck, I lost 4 good size grayling in the fast water due to hook pulls. grayling to 12" and trout to 10".

4 Trout, 8 Grayling

Heavy rain all day but the river was a lot clearer than yesterday up at Rhayader. Fished the pools and gutter on the lower section with an indicator and two nymphs. Grayling to 17"(most fish 12-14")and trout to 12".

Good day out with fishing guide Oliver Burch, best action with grayling was in the morning, using dry flies, then it flattened out in the afternoon. All fish returned in good condition.

First time on this beat. River chocolate brown and too high to wade if you are not familiar with the beat. Dropping and clearing at 5pm all fish on olive tungsten nymph close to the banks.

First time on this beat. First tried the upper access near the footbridge but found it very difficult to access the water further than about 100m downstream of the bridge. After an hour of bushwhacking I drove down the lower access by the mill. No bushwacking necessary here. Made my way up from the bottom of the beat as far as I could go. Condition seemed perfect. Not a sausage.

Chech nymphing. Largest grayling: three and a half pounds. Trout between one and a half & one and quarter pounds.
