Had booked Aberedw in case Abernant was unfishable. In the event we fished it for a couple of hours and it had a bit of water in it too. Very beautiful but challenging fishing - I would add a wading stick to the felt and studs advice about essential equipment. Three trout on a parachute Adams.

Lots to explore on this beat. It was a pleasure not to have to arrange transport with the farmer to drive you down to the river like it was a few years ago when we last visited this beat. Parking right by the river, no 4x4 required except in really bad conditions

A lovely sunny day on this most scenic of beats. 0.52 on Trallong gauge, the river with a slight tinge of colour. A few mayfly came off but no rises seen. Only one enquiry on a nymph. Tough going. Saw a salmon roll above downstream waterfall. A kingfisher busy catching some of the abundant fry in margins.

Standard feeder and ledger tactics. Attempting to avoid smaller fish with bigger baits. Very hot and bright day so we weren't expecting much but managed to get the barbel feeding. All fish decent stamp - biggest barbel between 6-7lb, biggest chub 4lb.

Fished beats 4 & 5 Whitney Court Fishery, eventually. Initially tried to fish beat 5 from Locksters Farm, but once unloaded were confronted by an angry couple telling us we couldn't park or fish there, contrary to the fishery instructions. We had a chat with them being diplomatic but then headed back to the other access point. I understand this is an ongoing issue as other anglers have reported similar. Anyway enjoyed the rest of our day but didn't get much. Fish caught on luncheon meat.
