River in need of a good flush through, we managed 2 barbel each but it was hard going in beautiful surroundings.

Only three anglers as 4th angler feared the challenge! First time here for all of us and great sport enjoyed by all with 13 fish in total to 10.5lb, all on pellet. Fast flowing water and slippery banks to swims made it very dangerous to get to very limited swims. Cant wait to go back though!!!
One angler went home with his tail between his legs after great first day!

13 Barbel

Rain over night gave us a dirty rising river. 7 barbel from 6 to 9lb plus 4 chub to 3lb. Feeder fished pellet & bollie catching the fish. Stan the keeper put us on to the fish. With the river rising, the top end of the fishery was the place to be, cheers Stan we would have blanked without you!

7 Barbel, 4 Chub

Fished 6 hours in afternoon up until dusk. Got soaked in torrential thunder storm. Had first couple of barbel early on, then the chub and another barbel came middle afternoon, strangely nothing in the last hour. Still really like this beat even though fished it quite a few times. Nice to have no cattle to contend with, not too far to walk and I seem to always get a couple of barbel so it's close becoming my favourite beat so far. Thanks WUF.

We had a great day trotting maggot. River was low and clear despite rain during the week. All fish were returned. Largest Grayling were just over 1lb. We stayed at The Seven Stars in Aberedw.

24 Trout, 32 Grayling

Not a good day with no barbel caught but we really enjoyed it, better luck next time.

A beautiful and tranquil stretch of the river. However, it was very disappointing in terms of the amount of swims available. The lower areas are basically impossible to fish due to there being no managed swims at all apart from two which were clearly very dangerous in the wet weather. Below those two the bank side was way too overgrown with trees/bushes to even consider creating your own swim.
Very annoying considering some of the best looking water could not be accessed.
To top that off, the barbel were playing very hard to get and we only had one between the two of us.
Will think twice before returning to this beat - I think WUF need to have a word with the riparian owners.
