Had a day on Dinas and Abercynrig - water was low but not low, low. Conditions were hot but overcast at times. Not fished Dinas before but some lovely water - a nice mix of glides, pools and runs. Had several fish at Dinas but a lot more at Abercynrig as I fished there in the evening when the hatch and rise was superb. 16 fish at Abercynrig. Most fish 3/4lb but some over a 1lb and one of 2lb. All on dry fly.

Three fish with pellet and feeder in low water conditions including a stunning 10lb Barbel taken in the evening. Another magical stretch of the beautiful wye making it a memorable day.

This report for 2 rods.
River very very low and dropping. Croynes on the beat looked like the ribs of a skeleton. Weather hot and sunny so we knew it would be tough!
We tried the beach towards the bottom of the beat into the faster water but no joy. We ended up in the deeper water under the pump braving the noise and fumes until it was turned off at 16:00. It does seem strange that water can still be extracted all day by a massive diesel pump when the river is so low. We ended up with two Barbel of 6 and 7 pounds.

If you are fishing this beat remember to put your wellies on before you arrive. Access means you need to wade through cow poo, even in the hottest driest weather.

A picturesque beat but access is difficult in places . during the afternoon a canoe scraped through the water which obviously did not improve the fishing . I feel that reasoning with these people is a waste of time action is needed . However , the landing of a beautiful brownie early evening lifted the spirits . the fish was well over 2 lb . All fish returned alive .
