River was in great condition not rising after yesterday's rainfall and gin clear. First time grayling fishing on this beat and enjoyed it very much. A lovely piece of water holding some decent fish. Fished two jig baetis nymphs with a 1.5mm tungsten on point size 18, and a 3mm tungsten size 16 on dropper. 3 grayling 6-8 inches, 5 grayling 8-12 inches, 3 grayling 12-16 inches and the other five all between 16-19 inches. Most taking size 16 on dropper.

15 Grayling

Just the one 8" grayling on the duo from just above the downstream limit. Nymphing was tried but failed to find the fish from the deeper holes. Good access to most of the water.

1 Grayling

No fish caught

Only fished for 2 hours river cold and lifeless not a bite even the swans took to the fields!

8 x grayling 6-14 inches, 2 x out of season trout 13 and 14 inches. A few hours trotting before the rain came in. The post-spawning trout were nicely coloured fish, but parallel lines from head to tail.

2 Trout, 8 Grayling

32 x grayling 8-15 inches, 2 x out of season trout 6-8 inches, trotting. Mostly grayling of 10-12 inches. A milder day than of late with river at 1 foot 4 inches on the Llanstephan gauge, running clear.

32 Grayling

Not fished this beat for a year or so since when it looks to have been tidied up somewhat with access easier as a consequence. No fish caught today however.

Nil caught. River at a good level, and clear. Slightly milder day than the previous. Tried various beaded nymphs it the usual likely looking spots. No sign of a fish. I know there's plenty of grayling in this stretch, as I've had some very good days in the past. Roll on the Spring!

Tried fishing the deeper, slacker water for a few hours with a running leger alternating cheese paste and luncheon meat but without success. Mid afternoon I switched to the faster water and was rewarded with three nice chub, the largest running to 4lb.
