No fish caught

Spent the day at llwyn onn res ,two 6fish permits , but faild to catch any trout , disapointed did not even see a trout rise and fished from 9.30am till 6pm .

Fished the castle cottage peg which is just before the woodland. Had 9 chub and 4 barbel. Nothing of any great size. Could aonly catch on sweet corn and meat and this had to be cut down to thumb nail size otherwise we couldn't get a bite, we moved down by the gate which has a rope to assist you getting down into the swim. Within minutes of casting out on pellet I managed to snag a chub of around 2lb. Couple of things worth mentioning first the boat traffic is a absolute nightmare and get wiped out by stag/hen parties or large groups of loud lads, this must surely need looking at as drinking bottles were getting thrown in. Second is don't except masses of amount of pegs as the pegs are very few and far between. Again for the price charged there should be more pegs dug out a d maintained. Lastly is the track on the way down if you have a valuable car or a small car please think twice as the track is very steep and very pot holey.

The best is set in a beautiful setting but the opposite side of the bank has more pegs which are well maintained but I believe this is ran by another club.

Nothing caught today. Don’t think the kayaks on the red helped mind, please can you do something about all the rubbish that’s building up there.

The river was rising but it surprisingly fished quite hard till the evening when the barbel decided to feed.

11 Barbel, 8 Chub

Took my fishing mad 10 year old daughter to catch her first barbel and chub. She had a pb chub of 3lb 8oz and a pb barbel of 8lb 8oz all on swim feeder and pellets.
Wildlife was amazing.

Slow day in good weather with all fish caught before 4.30pm although we stayed till after dark in the same swim which was lively the day before. There were many canoes which is unusual for this beat, and we had noticed that the opposite bank was being prepared for something, which turned out to be canoeists camping, so they were arriving until after dark, dragging their canoes up the bank and very noisily setting up camp. We also witnessed (illegal?) hunting, starting around 6.30pm with about 20 hounds who also went into the water opposite us during their pursuit of the fox, which we saw running along the far bank. The hunt was accompanied by much horn blowing, shouting and yelping of dogs, which continued for at least couple of hours, so unsurprising that we caught nothing into the evening.
