Lovely weather day, river running well and clear. Plenty of a variety of flies appearing, but I did not see any rises. Fished all day with a gold bead hares ear on the point and unweighted nymphs on the dropper, trying to ‘match the hatch’ as they appeared. Landed 8 mainly from the streamier water, up to 9 inches, and missed a few sharp takes. Also a few parr, lots of them around. Also a first for me, 2 at 6 inches each at the same time. Not exactly on my bucket list but fun anyway !!

Grandson caught his biggest rainbow trout so not a bad day.

I booked Dinas and Abercynrig together. Overcast and showery in for an hour or so in morning then fine rest of day. Slight windy. All fish caught on French leader

I booked and fished Abercynrig and Dinas as the best fishing seems to straddle both beats. All caught in French leader

A fine autumn day in this picturesque valley, with the river full, clear and fast flowing. Perhaps a bit too bright for the fish. Just two small trout caught on spider and gold bead GRHE nymphs. Hoped for grayling did not materialise and no fry evident. Good to see some of the conifers being removed from the hillsides.

We both had a great day ,Barbel feeding from the start until the sun came out in mid afternoon after which things became more difficult, most Barbel around 7-8 lbs with fish up to 8 lbs 14 oz. Looking forward to returning here in the future.

Indian summer on the river bank. Fished late afternoon & early evening & every swim produced. All the fish were in tip-top condition with hardly a scale out of place; One louse on the head of a chub (removed)! Regular swan flypasts which looked spectacular against the blue sky,they wanted to be on the wing for some reason today. Spam & pellets again but static baits were accepted with no interest in trotted baits.

Thanks once again to all concerned for our annual holiday & battery recharge.
