most fish came to pellet feeder, with crill or halibut pellet.....some swims very prolific for fish, other less so.

Tried several swims and different methods but only managed 1 barbel between us

Hard going. Overnight cold weather had left the river very low and clear and didn't get much action until later on in the day despite covering much of the stretch and using a variety of methods. I hadn't realised that the beat has been shortened and no longer includes the Vanstone Pool or the top bend. That was a real disappointment as the swims just below the top bend had always been the ones that produced best for us in the past. Not sure I would book again on that basis.

Wonderful day on the Wye. A lovely barbel first cast of 8-10lbs. Two other smaller barbel 4-6lb came later in the day. A great day on a great river. A big barbel really is every bit as impressive a beast as an Osprey! In my humble opinion at least! Thank you WUF and the Environment Agency for all your river restoration and river protection work.

My friend and I fished Talybont for the third time in 2 years and always enjoy its beauty and chance to catch brown trout. It was a wet and windy day so fishing was tough. I caught 2 nice trout and had 3 or 4 takes on a pheasant tail nymph with a hares ear thorax and a dawl back. I started on wet flies but no luck. There was a hatch of olives but little to nothing rising thus the change to the nymphs. My friend caught one small trout on a hopper. Lovely place to fish and will be back hopefully in nicer weather conditions.
