Feeder plus pellets using running rigs. River flowing fairly gently. Ideal conditions really. Caught at the pump station pool, the island rapid and at Wood Crib.

Arrived at midday to a beautiful warm day with light winds. River in perfect condition. Only saw two fish rise the whole day due to little insect life. Managed one Grayling on hairs ear gold head in the fast water.

Such a beautiful and wild river with kites flying overhead and dippers in and out of the water.

A beautiful natural stretch of river. I fished from 11:00 until an hour after sunset. The water level was quite low (0.75m at Canaston gauging station). The water was clear and 15 degrees Celsius. The air temperature was 20 degrees and it was a bright day.

Fly only, but casting a challenge in places due to the trees. I caught one small brown trout on a #14 barbless Diawl Bach. It was returned. It was a very pleasant day despite only catching one fish. I saw a kingfisher and an impressive number of bats just after sunset.

I will fish The Bont again.

A beautiful wild river with kites flying overhead and dippers in and out of the water. Shame the fishing wasn’t better.

Lots of bites but nothing caught .......... 5 blanks in a row, will have to take up sea fishing.

Fished from 2 through the evening, a tough day river running clear. No barbel to show, a few nice chub up to 4lb and some eels all on meat. Lovely stretch.

One fish caught in fast water on a GRHE nymph. Lots of fish around including some sizeable, but very easily spooked.

Spent a little over an hour, no fish caught. One bite came off - throwing streamer next to root balls

Very bright and hot - some really good Chub. A very enjoyable day

Low and clear river, warm and overcast sky. Another great day's fishing with nineteen Barbel to 8Ib 6ozs and Chub to 4Ib. Martin caught a PB Barbel and Trevor fell in which was a bonus. Though have to say this did not dampen his catching ability as thirteen of the Barbel were taken on his rod.
