Firstly I have to endorse the opinions of others about this beat. River access is extremely limited, with only two fishable swims in the first field. Access appears better in the second field but only because the resident cows have broken down the bank so you fish these spots with your tackle at some risk. Exit from the parking area is also extremely perilous.

Moan over, one of the two available swims gives access to the deeper water under the willows and alders mentioned in the beat profile and produced 6 good Chub to around 5lb in 5 hours fishing , all on ledgered luncheon meat. Sadly no Barbel

An interesting day, more fish caught but lost on snags including 3 barbel and a few chub.
We explored the top end of the beat but alas no means of reaching the the bank. Eventually found a couple of spots towards the lower end of the fishery which were accessible with the aid of a rope. Such a shame that no one seams to be responsible for maintaining the access. This could be a really excellent venue.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

River in perfect condition; weather damp and muggy with no wind until late afternoon. Sand martins have started to head for sunnier climes. Fished from 11:00 to 17:30. A dribble of olives coming off throughout the day, peaking between 14:00 and 15:00. Some smaller fish rising in Llanobery Pool but were not interested in my offerings. PTN around the edges of the faster runs also unsuccessful. Retired defeated and frustrated - with only a month to go to the end of the season!

My first time on this lovely stretch and a cracking day. River a little high. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the upper end of the beat. Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. It took me a while to suss things out - an hour or so before my first fish, but by the end of the day I had 30 chub to my hand and lost several others. Most were 2-3lbs, three fish 4lbs plus. Frustratingly no barbel, although one of the fish I lost could have been. I saw barbel turning on the surface.
