A lovely beat with lots of varied water. We fished dry fly and nymph and took fish off the top as well as from down below. Fish were moving to small Stonefly and Sedge on the surface and small orange shrimp patterns fished deep tempted the Grayling. The river was low and clear but fished well. A lovely day.

2 Trout, 12 Grayling

River clear and weather bright all day, so the barbel were difficult to tempt. However, chub kept the action going in all three swims I tried. Barbel to just short of 7lbs, several of the chub at 3lbs+. Most fish on pellet/feeder, with a couple of the chub on meat.

2 Barbel, 9 Chub

Lovely still autumn day but river low and quite clear and fish hard to find

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

2 anglers trotting found it hard going in every sense, even between us we couldn't quite cover the whole beat in a day so likely missed a couple of pools. We were rewarded with a couple of nice grayling at 14" and 15" - made it all worthwhile though. All the trout were under 10".

Lovely day.

WUF note: The rod and reel has since been found and safely returned.

DC & GC had another day on this nice beat but the fishing was really hard going due to a very strong and gusting wind. No sign of any surface activity so nymphs used. GC had 4 grayling and DC 3 grayling up to to 10inches. The 2 other were small wbt.
Many thanks to the Colonel and W&U.

Having fished Cefnllysgwynne the day before, which is immediately downstream of Llanfechan and also includes part of the far bank of this beat, I can say that if anything this section of the river is even more beautiful.
Conditions were good, a crisp morning which brightened during the day. In the early afternoon a small hatch brought fish to the surface, and both a trout and a grayling were taken and safely released on a dry fly - size 16 green klinkhammer.
Also had a very nice chat with the owner.
