Beautiful spring day, if a bit bright for fishing. Still, when you're somewhere as lovely as this beat you don't get too frustrated. There were a few grannom coming off throughout the day with a much more sustained hatch in the late morning. The trout were feeding on the surface at this time and a couple were taken on a parachute Adams. All the other fish came to small weighted nymphs. Great to be back on the river.

No salmon caught but lots of trout activity and to top it all, an Osprey seen overhead.

A lovely day on Gromain, which started off quite slowly with a few fish taken on deep fished nymphs. Once the sun warmed things up, the fishing just got better and better. At 1 O'clock there was a good hatch of light grey uprights which lasted for a good hour. A few LDO's also. During this period the fish were rising freely and took 10 fish in the same pool. Mainly 8-10 inch Grayling but a few trout up to a pound and a half. All taken on a Parachute Adams or similar flies.
It's nice to see the river start to wake up after the long winter and take fish on the dry, as I feel I have been dragging the bottom of as long as I can remember!

River was a little higher than I would have hoped, but certainly fishable. Struggled for long periods until I found the occasional shoal of fish, all in the 6-10 inch range. Felt the need to fish this stunning beat one more time this year, and will return next year after some warmer fishing in the Thai Jungle over Christmas.

River at nice level but no fish seen or caught. By 3pm the river started to rise and colour up but still a great day out. My mate was fishing for grayling but could not find them in the high water,but did manage some trout.
Thanks wusk.

Good to see some much needed water in the river, and had a productive morning with lots of Grayling in the 8-10 class. The lower section fished better, where at times it was a fish a cast. However, after lunch things slowed right down with fewer fish taken. With all the rain we have had since then, I wish the Salmon Rods luck for a late season prize.

Wind picked up during the day, but at least the rain stayed away. There were fish rising, I think they were trout. We managed to catch some trout on dry but most were taken on heavy bugs and no grayling were caught. We also caught some small silver fish I think we're dace. 2 canoe's paddled past about 2.30pm which scraped their way down river over the boulders as there was not much water, they are not taking any notice of the rules as the last few times I have fished this beat canoes have come past.
Was a great day though thanks w/usk.

River was low but that did not stop some good fishing. All fish in good condition and hard fighting. All fish taken just up from Llanstephen Bridge using french leader techniques with the exception of one grayling which was taken on a dry. Best fish, a grayling, around 12". Great day out.
