6 small browns caught on ghhe. 1 x 8oz brown on pheasant tail. River still quite low, hardly any fish rising.

We love Ty Newydd. An overcast day with occasional short showers. Colder than the last few days. 6 rods caught 20 trout to 1lb and 3 grayling to 1.5lb. Best flies were gold head ptn and czech nymph. No fish taken. Thanks for 2 days superb fishing.

Sorry for the delay in returning but due to a week away on holiday PC time has been limited.
A tough day that from memory was very very windy. Only saw a handful of rises all day so fished nymphs nearly all day with the odd change to klink and dink.
Caught 2 x Dace (I believe) of about 9" and 2 x Grayling all fish taking the nymphs and returned to the water safely.

5 trout (max 13inch) and 4 grayling (max 12 inch) caught and returned unharmed. The weather was warm, sunny and clear but with an annoying upstream breeze slowing down the hatch. Late afternoon saw a number of sedge on the water, prompting a small rise but most of the day we were fishing blind - mainly on dry fly but occasionally on small pt nymphs. Despite the lack of natural fly life the fish responded mainly to dry fly.
The river was very low, a common theme so far this season.

1 brown trout 8/9inch in lenth.
1 grayling 8/9inch in lenth. Both fish returned to the water alive.

6 Trout to 8", 2 x OOS Grayling to 14" all safely returned.
Hard going in a cold downstream wind most of the day, overcast but (thankfully) dry. Very nice beat with an excellent mix of water. Sparse and intermittent surface activity, probably many more fish available to nymphing (especially around the broken water through Cilau and above the spout) but I chose to stay with dries. Evening 'hatch' of sorts around 7-7.30 but nothing substantial and nothing took much notice of it. A few smallish Salmon leaping about in Armies pool and below the Backawy junction.

Quite a good day despite a difficult and cold breeze. Good hatches throughout the day and a decent spinner fall in the evening. 3 WBT to 10 inches on GRHE. 4 out-of-season Grayling to 12 inches, taking LT Caddis klink and GRHE. Many many missed takes, particluarly to parachute adams. All fish returned safely.

I tried to vary my tactics and locations in a bid to avoid catching Grayling, but there are so may of them on this beat it was impossible to avoid them. This must be a great beat for the Grayling season.

Stunning beat with good parking and access to the river.
Decent olive hatch pretty much throughout the day along with sherry spinners and a trickle of Mayfly.
Concentrated on the top half of the beat in the faster water. Managed 5 wbt on olive nymphs, best a really handsome 12" fish. All returned safely.

Stayed at the Coach House in Brecon which deserves a mention for a memorable cooked breakfast!

1 grayling on a dry fly and one brown trout on a nymph.

An absolutely lovely day fishing. The river was low and there was a few rain showers throughout the day. My friend caught a fish on his third cast and it carried on in fits and starts throughout the day. In total we caught around 40 fish between us up to 3/4lb on small gold headed nymphs fished across and down, dry flies fish upstream and spiders fished in an escalator fashion. Absolutely lovely day, even caught some fish in the slow water towards the end of the beat. Shall definitely be back!
