Used my season ticket on the Irfon, didn't arrive until after 10 but had a good dozen grayling to around 1lb 4oz. I was the angler mentioned by AF below. I unfortunately had tangled the line in the tree whilst playing a wee grayling. Fortunately the fish shed the hook and I did manage to retrievd my float and line thanks to a very long washed up branch. I then 'scarpered'. I assume AF was insinuating I didn't really didn't have a season ticket.

A tough day for our first visit here with plenty of walking between fishable runs. River has dropped back after recent rainfall and colour falling out by the hour. Still plenty of water though pulling through so wading requires care. Trotting with red maggots produced 9 fish in total including 6 graying to 1lb 14oz. No more than one fish caught in anyone spot and trotting close in produced best results. All fish taken upriver from the churchyard. Wonderful location although rather soggy underfoot today.

A good session on the lower section of the beat. Approx 30 grayling and numerous trout tween us with my pal finding some quality grayling including two of 2lb +. Fish fell to Czech Nymph, Klink/dink but the real damage done with spiders fished over the shallow section. Lovely beat and beautiful looking fish. Salmon pools look fantastic fly water.
River at good level finally. Wouldnt want to fish it with gauge over 0.8 (ddol fm).

River still high but falling. Coloured but clearing. Probably caught river a day too soon but had no other dates available to us so gave it our best shot.
Pike fishing lower stretch, no shortage of swims despite high water. Adopted a roving approach using deads. Disappointed to land just one pike, a low double, but then conditions were hardly ideal. Glad to be on the banks after weeks of interminable rain and stretch looks nice. Will have to come back when levels are lower to assess its full potential.

Caught the river a day or so too early. Although falling was still running high with a lot of colour. One low double Pike on deadbait between us. Difficult to assess beat as we were undoubtedly fishing swims that will not be there when normal levels are resumed but nice looking stretch and our impression is that the beat may well be better suited to barbel/chub anglers. Will be back in better conditions to try our luck again.

River high and only able to fish around the area of the stream mouth. One pike caught of approximately 10-11lbs. A nice day out regardless and good advice provided as always, catch return probably not surprising considering the conditions and the fact that the river continued rising steadily during the day.

1 Chub on cheese paste.

Unfortunately heavy overnight rain wrecked the day with water levels rising fast and more rain coming. Fished through the morning, caught nothing. Got a bit dangerous so packed up early but I will be back.

Conditions were borderline unfishable with high water level and ferocious push from the overnight rain but we managed one 11 lbs barbel on pellet. Otherwise nothing.

No fish caught, river in flood.
