I had a trip to the Aberbwtran beat of the Irfon today (Beat R11 on the Wye and Usk voucher scheme).
It's a lovely beat - access is a bit of a walk from the layby where you park but it's well worth a visit.
Today, however, I was beaten by the conditions. I had a nice grayling from the spot I took the photo from and a brownie a few yards further down - but then the weather! The wind made casting anything from a challenge to an impossibility and also filled the river with leaves to such an extent that every cast resulted in being fouled. After four more small grayling - I came home!
