Fly-fishing on the River Irfon, Mid-Wales

Lyn spends a day on the Colonel’s Water beat of the River Irfon - a tributary of the RIver Wye in Mid-Wales. Being early October, the target species is grayling, but the trout seem to have forgotten they're out-of-season. Throughout the video, Lyn demonstrates both the euro-nymph and upstream dry fly techniques amongst the beautiful autumnal landscape. Lyn's 'top tips' feature is aimed at beginners, or those new to fishing rivers.
Filmed using the following kit:
GoPro 12.
OM System Tough 7.
iPhone 11.
All editing done using Adobe Premier Pro 2023.

Thanks Chris! Appreciate all your help, can’t wait to get back out with the GoPro 👍

Nice video Lyn. Do you remove any if the front of the Hanak leader? I have found the tip too long and soft.

[@capturedonline]

Thanks Phillip. Yes, I cut approx 2ft off the tip of the Hends leader. Like you say, it’s very thin, with a tendency to tangle easily.

Hi mate, love the video. I have recently moved to Llanwrtyd and looking to fish the irfon. Do you know if they do a season pass?

[@capturedonline]

Thanks Ceri - really appreciate the feedback. You could try fishingwales.net/fishing-locations/groe-park-and-irfon-angling-club-river-irfon/ for the lower stretches, but to be honest, I always book via the WUF website.

[@cerimorganphotography]

@@capturedonline yeah I'm going to sign up with them in January. Call me tight but I just want to go when I have a few spare hours and can't justify the price then

[@peterlloyd3279]

Hi Lyn
You describe this stretch as difficult - in what respect plesse?

[@capturedonline]

Hi Peter, it’s difficult in the sense of fish numbers. Unfortunately, I’ve seen a decline in grayling over the years. Specimen fish are likely though, which is the attraction.
