3 x small grayling 6-9 inches, 6 x out of season trout 6-12 inches. A couple of larger grayling (maybe 12 or 13 inches) came off, as they tend to do. The larger trout had obviously spawned.

Arrived to find river about 3ft up and slightly coloured, fished some pegs half way down the beat, took a couple of chub around 2lb - 3lb and 1 barbel around 4lbs, all taken on h/pellet. Really nice to come out in such mild spring-like conditions in the middle of winter! Thanks once again Colin and all at WUF.

3 chub and 1 barbel on meat and cheese paste.

Day spent trotting for grayling on the Leen. First time we have been here - a lovely beat. The best of the water for trotting was upstream of the bridge with some nice runs and pools which held most of the fish caught today.
Total 8 grayling (largest around 1.75lb) and 5 brown trout on a windy day. It is really nice to be able to have such water available through the W&U Foundation for bait fishing for Grayling and the ease of booking made for an enjoyable day. This would be a lovely beat to have access to all year.

Had 3 out of season trout up to about 3/4 of lb. No grayling unfortunately.
Interesting beat with a variety of water including some pretty deep pools that I don't think I was fishing very effectively.
Accessing the water still an issue in the dead of winter. Hate to think what it must be like when the bankside vegetation is high!

Very nice day, lovely beat, river came up over night. Had a few chub to 3lb. Should be a very goog stretch for summer barbel. WUF very helpful, many thanks.

A bit blustery but by no means unpleasant. Alas no fish moving that I could detect and so a blank day. For the record I used a weighted nymph but no takes. Nice river with easy access. I will try again soon.

Lovely setting, no fish caught, no fish seen.

A pretty damp and dreary day on the Irfon, and the fishing was hard going, picking off odd fish here and there, in what was a very good river level. I tried all morning with the fly rod with various bugs to no avail. Fish were starting to show on the surface so I changed to dry fly, had a couple of near misses and that was that, lunch. Then joined Rudi with the trotting rod which was a good move. The day's total 22 Grayling, 2 OSBT, 2 Chublets, and for myself, in total disbelief, a whopper of a rainbow @ 22" approx three and a half pounds which I first thought was a salmon. After a long fight all over the river it finally came to the net and it didn't fit very well in the bow net. The fish was in superb condition, thick set and beautiful fin's. After a little chat with the wuf team, it is apparently an escapee from nearby ponds. Another good day.

Sorry, didn't manage to fish on the day, work called so no fish to report.
