No success on upper beat. On arriving at the lower beat, a light hatch of Grannom was underway, although there were only a few very occasional rises to be seen. 1 fine trout (1lb) caught on Grannom at Llangoed pool. Further rises to Grannom 200 yds below the rapids, providing good sport. A rapid change to March Browns needed, as a strong hatch brought vigorous rises everywhere. Exciting fishing! 2 more trout of 1ib caught. Very light hatch of dark olives. 1 further 15 oz trout to a Kite's Imperial. A big trout was caught but lost as I hadn't spotted my hook had lost its tip - schoolboy error! A great afternoon's entertainment.

The day was Cold and grey, some grannom. Two trout, best 10 inches. Three oos grayling, best 11 inches.

Two small brown trout and two os grayling on gold head nymph. The morning rise was short lived.

Spent circa 4hours on a very full river, very pleasant but no fish. Plenty of canoes around.

Fishing in my t-shirt for the afternoon, who would have thought so in Oct. Not a salmon seen or touched though. My first year salmon fishing though so the learning curve is steep. As ever a really nice stretch with some quality runs. Lots of scouting done for next time. Did catch 6 trout though, one had me wondering for a second or two.

Excellent afternoon's fishing on a positively balmy indian Summer day with temperatures hovering around the 28/29 degree centigrade mark - perfect conditions with no wind although very clear and slow running water.
Perhaps too hot and too many insects around as there were a whole host of very lazy rises until late in the evening, but unfortunately nothing interested in my butcher fly - although did see a couple of Heron and Kingfishers flying along the river.

River in great nick, very clean and a really great commune with nature.

Nasty downstream wind. No fly No rises. 3wbt, all small. 2 dace,and 2 salmon parr. All on nymphs.

Troublesome wind, not much fly, not many rising fish. Two trout, 8" and 10". Also a dace. I parked by the river, about 100 heifers licked my car. Had to move.

Water low and clear with a strong downstream wind. CJK had 3 undersized trout from the fast water of the rapids on a goldhead hares ear nymph and invicta. JW was fishless.

Incredibly low water for April and thus lower Llangoed very easy to fish. Early fish on a variety of nymphs and then a sporadic rise from early afternoon onwards saw plenty of offers on emergers / surface film flies. Because I don't fish rivers often a small foam beetle seemed to fit the bill - at least the fish thought so.

Upper Llangoed saw a few chub but the rapids and below is where the trout were. Saw a few early Mayfly but only 1 or 2 so of no fish consequence. Lovely day, 13 fish to 12".
