Nice beat. Some activity: one strike but no catches.
The metal walkway alongside Wall Pool is passable but getting overgrown.

It's not immediately apparent where to park by the Llanwrthwl bridge; we left the car on the slope down to the meadow, between the two gates. We had a little difficulty; if it was any wetter we might have got stuck.

Not clear how to access the right bank of the lower section unless wading.

Fishing Passport Note : Instructions for parking are included on the beat details... "park in front of the gate on the verge of the upstream side of the bridge, main road side".

Day started bright, though rain came late morning and settled in. Upstream wind all day made going quite difficult.

No fish caught.

Nice beat but mostly difficult wading. Caught & returned 1 nice 8" brownie on an orange perdigon.

No catches.

Really tricky beat. Annoyed I booked to be honest. Wading is very very difficult as the rock are so slippery. I would advise not getting in the river to be honest. I did to catch my 1 fish but there are fish in this beat for sure. casting is restricted making for a frustrating experience not being able to present flies well.

A beautiful day on Dolgau. Very quiet morning fishing Bridge and Glanrhos pools, but albeit what seemed like perfect grayling conditions there were no bites. I broke for lunch and decided to try below the bridge and straight into a nice Grayling, then another. Moved down to Oak pool with nothing so back up to the Bridge pool and another 2 Grayling. Taking on Sawyers Killer Bug and Duracell Copper Top. Clear water so 4X and 5X tippet was the battle winner.
Wonderful place to be.

Quite mild for the time of year, river a shade higher than I would have liked and crystal clear. Spent the morning fishing below the bridge in the deep pools with little reward ( 1 caught and one lost) above the bridge was a bit better but still hard to find many fish, grayling between 10 and 17" (2 more lost ? ) and trout 11". All fish on nymphs euro fished or indicator .
