Fishing very difficult due to gale force winds a rising river flowing very fast plus a combination of snow, hail, rain and sleet we couldn't have picked a worse day.

It's always a gamble booking a day's fishing so far in advance no matter what time of year. Having spent a small fortune over the last few years with the foundation I think it's the first time I've EVER had a cause to complain. £78 for 3 anglers to fish a flooded beat in March is not good value in my opinion.

The river level had dropped around a foot overnight but the conditions still meant we settled for the deeper pegs once again. Gale force winds, rain and snow made for uncomfortable fishing at times but a better return today with one solitary Barbel around 5lb and two Chub.

Look forward to returning in June once we've thawed out..

Arrived to find the river high but fishable, weather was very bad with high winds and rain,
expensive umberela smashed to bits. Caught 1 barbel each but had to finish early due to a bad hail storm, rearly like this venue just a shame about the weather.

low overnight temperatures did not fill us with much confidence, but the river was in good condition and falling, we lost two barbel to hook pulls and took the chub flavoured meat.

River was high, concrete platforms were submerged at the bottom end. Headed to the top end and managed 1 barbel from the very top of the beat in the margin. Another barbel from mid river from the top followed. Came down to fish the bottom of the beat, bite from the slack waters in front of the submerged salmon croy but not hooked. Then the biblical hail storm hit. Waited it out but no more bites, just a great sunset for the last session of the season.

Didn't go over the hill. Fished the last 2 pegs in the field. Didn't get a fish until 4.30 pm. Tried all baits pellets, maggots, cheese paste and curried luncheon meat. Luncheon meet once again worked in the end

Caught 2 brown trout in pools south of Merthyr Tydfil, and hooked another that got away. I kept the he trout and returned the she trout, both in the 1-2 lb size range.
