two hook rig. Nymph and spider.
Grayling took it on the nymph.
Small - about 200g or 20cm.

A few other quick bites.

1 Grayling

The river was very low, the water clear and 15C. No hatch of note. The fish were mostly in the fster streamy water. The sand matrtins are back and checking out their nest tunnels in the mud banks. There were goosanders, a dipper and a heron that shared the beat with me.

A hard day out, river running low and clear with fish being easily spooked. 2 out of season Grayling returned promptly after being taken on a PT nymph. 1 8” trout to a dry in the evening!

My final session for a few days on the wild streams !!! Thankfully a change of weather Is due in ... hurray!!!!! Mountain llyn time......Fished the lovely Aberedw beat, half twelve till four ... slow going initially!! Not the lovely "wallop" splashy rises of yesterday!! A totally different kettle of trout !! Fun though... as usual I stuck on the tiny dries ...
Weeeeeeeell, when the average depth of the river at the moment is probably twelve inches, dry fly tactics certainly reign supreme ...Lots of insects on parade by one , and, two of the trout I had today were to risers ...nothing huge, in fact the best of four was maybe pushing nine inches !!! Fun though..Although the usual pools didn't produce so much as a boil to my dry ...The fish were in the faster stuff, I did see trout in the deeper pools they seemed spooked... maybe the fresh otter prints along a lot of the beat ....Tarka may have had an afternoon stroll !!!!
I did spot another oil beetle walking down to the beat.... Many of this species are getting quite rare do placed him well off the road!!! Another lovely session on one of my favourite streams....Nearly stopped at the Wye at Builth, but, garden jobs to get nailed, before a pint in The Crown ...Happy Days !!!
