Feedback & Reports

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..

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

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.

2 Barbel

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.

3 Chub

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

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

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.

Second day of our trip on a new beat and once again river levels very high and challenging. managed a chub each. Fished the bottom two fields which im sure are lovely during normal conditions. Nice beat. Look forward to a return visit in hopefully better conditions.

Did not fish. No point in travelling 100's of miles with the gauge as was on cam. Still, that's March for you....
