The last day. River good company brilliant fishing a big big let down, walked and fished the beat but caught nothing and saw nothing

3 Decent Barbel (5lb14oz, 6lb 1oz and 7lb 8oz) and one around a pound. All the Chub were very decent in the 3lb - 5lb class, and a Pike of around 7lb caught on a Pellet.
Lovely day to be on the bank but fishing was pretty slow with a Barbel first cast of the day and one last cast of the day and the others spaced pretty evenly throughout.
A good Salmon was crashing about in one of the pools, celebrating the end of the Salmon fishing season no doubt?

4 Barbel, 4 Chub, 1 Pike

Caught no fish again!

Swimfeeder maggot and meat earned a barbel to 3lb plus four small chub....
The beat is very tranquil and catching is a bonus.......

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Chub below the woods, 2 to bread on the float remainder to meat on the lead, couldn't get the Barbel interested, most of the Chub didn't show till late on.

14 Chub

Last day of the season. Lucky enough to catch an 18lber at Newbridge in the morning. Arrived at Chainbridge with the beat bathed in glorious sunshine. River perfect 0.72m on the gauge and the colour of a pristine pint of Butty Bach. Had a take just below tip of Rock but didn’t stay on. Saw a fairly fresh fish show at the end of Rock into the beginning of the the Chine but could not entice it.
The river bed has substantially altered with two huge floods in successive winters. It has made the beat wadeable from the top of Upper Rock to well into the Chine. You only have to climb out for a few yards at the end of the stakes when water is above 0.6 m. The result is even more beautiful fly water making fishing it a real treat.

River at 1'6" on the Llanstephan gauge, lovely river conditions. No salmon seen or hooked, fished a full day. Several oos trout in the Abernant Stream were very lively. Beat and access in excellent condition and very well maintained, many thanks.
