A busy few days, so was really nice yo get out on my own ... .. A lovely session too !! Ten till half two, strewth the little Clywedog Brook needs a top up .... big time !!!!
First things first,when i got there, thermometer dipped, reading 14 degrees ... most of this beat is heavily tree lined unlike the ithon , which must be sixty percent is in direct sunlight, hence reading 17 degrees there the other day ... it even felt cold on the little Clywedog today ... crystal clear, spooked loads today, even with my ninja wading !!!!!
Nine to the net on dries ... only two risers , the rest prospecting .Funny sort of weather too, bright , about 18 degrees with a fair old gusty breeze too.... most annoying to be honest !!!
Didn't see Tarka, but, plenty of prints again, and fresh too !! Thr kingfisher was up and down and I even had a great view of him on his sitty branch, a metre above a lovely pool ...Would have made a cracking photo with a decent pukka camera.
A fun session although to maximise enjoyment it needs topping up at least six inches I'd say ....Then sport will be more fun, still an enjoyable few hours on an old favourite ....Back on one of the Edw beats tommoz.....Lovely jubbley !!!!! Ohhhh WUF ANY NEWS ON THE ARROW BEATS AND THE CRAYFISH SITUATION ????

Only me today and I had to leave early due early birth of my grandson and to be honest not to bothered . Recent weather spoilt the day. But will be back. Nice venue.

Plenty of perch caught before a beautiful little wild brown trout. Very windy with clear skies, so the fishing was always going to be difficult. No fish rising but a lovely afternoon/evening fishing session.

A few lovely trout on a dry sparkle caddis pattern. This is not the most accessible beat under normal circumstances, but now with head high Bankside vegetation it was very hard work cutting a path through, which I had to do on four occasions just to access the river.

Bright sunshine and a low river made fishing tough, fished single 8mm pellet 8lb hook link, the only bite of the day resulted in a Barbel of about 5lb which was very welcome.

After 2 great days fishing at Middle Hill Court, today was a real disappointment. If anything, conditions were better but 3 of us struggled to get 4 chub. I booked this venue for our party on the basis of the YouTube video on UHC access and I have to say that I think that it is misleading. The number of fishable swims is very limited unless you come equipped with major undergrowth clearing tools. It means that there is no opportunity to move if your swim isn’t producing if there are more than a couple of people in the beat. The video is a great idea and gives good directions but is not accurate in terms of accessible pegs. I wouldn’t book it again unless I was coming on my own and no one else was booked on to it
