River still quite high but dropping. Good day had even though the barbel didn’t really show which was a surprise given the conditions. Chub caught from every peg we tried. All fish came to feeder and meat.

Beautiful day, 14 or 15°C very light wind and the river dropping overnight to a good level and not pushing through as hard as yesterday. Sadly no grayling found only trout ( all very fit specimens ). Tried upstream and downstream nymphing as no rises without joy, then switched to trotting all afternoon. Had a salmon come past my feet and was close to another that jumped twice in quick succession. Are grayling numbers on the decline in the Irfon? Lovely beat, will be back for some trouting next season.

We decided this time to head up to the top end of the beat and try up there. First pool a Grayling of about 1lb slipped the hook a the net and then for the rest of the day it was just interest from trout sadly. Definitely the bottom half of the beat lends itself more to trotting which is what I did the following day when I fished solo.

River quite high and pushing through, still plenty of colour so plumped for a day of trotting. Just one Chub with not so much as a nibble from anything else despite plenty of playing around with the set up. Great stretch but too high today to get the best out of it.

1 Chub

Luncheon meat on the hook, just 2 chub this time both 4lb.
