Feedback & Reports

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....

Scenic beat but unfortunately we picked the wrong weekend, weather wise. River well up and coloured on arrival limiting our options to the deeper pegs at the lower end of the beat. Fished hard all day using paste wrapped pellets, boilies and luncheon meat but to no avail. One of the group had one Eel and a Roach on maggot feeder.
