Grayling Fishing On The River Irfon Wales

In this video we visit the river Irfon in Wales, famous for its incredible grayling fishing, along with Welsh rivers international Terry Bromwell and Tom Jehu of ‪@ScaleyJournal‬ for a combination of fly fishing and trotting.
Will we find 'Thymallus Thymallus' on this brand new Fishing Passport beat on the upper Irfon?

This was a brilliant day! Absolutely loved it. Arguably the best welsh river I’ve fished in the past 10 years. Thanks Ceri and Terry for a great day 😊👍

Guys I fished this stretch purely based on the Twitter post you’d put up promoting it .. it’s a superb stretch ( as you well know) and whilst I caught my grayling on the trotting gear I’m gonna give the nymphing ago next trip .. thanks again

[@FishingInWales]

We've seen wild trout of 5lb caught on the same stretch! So also worth a go in summer for trout

[@GoneFishingNow]

I really enjoyed watching this vid, looks like lovely fishing.

[@FishingInWales]

It is, great river for winter grayling :)

[@Tjk186]

Terry, Ceri...great video....what beautiful grayling on the fly !...thanks a lot for sharing ...may I ask if you ever use a net retractor (like a Gear Keeper / Orvis retractor etc) attached to a D-ring on the back of your chest pack/vest, or just a simple magnet + lanyard system which looks less bulky?....many thanks

[@FishingInWales]

Just a magnet & lanyard system 👍

[@davidhumphreys7035]

Not a lot you can say there, superb all round!

[@FishingInWales]

Thanks David 😊

I’m very sad to inform you that the River Irfon is one of rivers in the upper Wye catchment testing high levels of nitrates and phosphates. The likely source of this pollution is the proliferation of intensive chicken sheds.

[@FishingInWales]

Ithon I think you mean, different river similar name. The irfon runs off the Cambrian mountains and has good water quality.

[@d803albion]

Now imagine catching those fish on dry fly….

[@paulwhite2458]

Was that a salmon that topped as soon as he stepped in at the start 🐟

[@FishingInWales]

it was indeed, good spot!

[@jamiewilliams1287]

What indicator are you using

[@FishingInWales]

It's the yellow mono core from some old Airflo braided backing

[@jamiewilliams1287]

Thank you where would you say the best place to fish in merthyr is ive just joined the angling club looking for most productive pools

[@FishingInWales]

@@jamiewilliams1287 the fish are well spread out through the whole stretch, just look for deeper pools with fast runs coming in at this time of year. A lot of it is finding the fish yourself, it requires leg-work and each season is different in what each pool holds.
