Took advantage of the warm autumnal weather. Relaxing day. Quiet and peaceful.

A couple of OOS trout but failed to locate any grayling at the bottom of the beat today.

Fished the top half of the beat. Failed to find the grayling but one oos trout grabbed my nymph. One salmon moving around.

Very quiet not a bite all day water gin clear a big salmon threw itself into the air by me. As you enter the beat owner says a lot of salmon in pool directly to the left. The owner said lots of people say either nothing here or a great day fishing. There are hardly any gutters here so I think it’s all about water height and colour. Used a Klink and dink with small beaded grhe on the point and pink nymph above and klinkhammer. Wading and casting here are easy. Beautiful patch of river lots of benches waterside to sit.

Two small fish to grub and shrimp patterns.

Good to be back on the Irfon after 8 years. Water height looked good, no rising fish. Hard going.

River running at a nice level and clear. Trotted red maggot and found it surprisingly tricky with a long rod tangling in the overhead branches, I would probably have done better with a fly rod and Euro nymphing from the bank. Nevertheless I caught some nice grayling and a couple of OOS trout.

A hard day on a beautiful beat. I adopted a roaming approach fishing the entire length of the beat during the day and pre baiting 4 swims to fish in the afternoon. Only managed 2 Chub c.3lb each. A variety of baits used Inc. Pellet, meat, pork pie, and cheese.
The river was very low for November, with the level at only 0.7m at the nearest guaging point. I'll put this down to experience and will come back to this beat soon.
