Fantastic days fishing in a lovely environment. Canoeists were a real pain but didn’t seem to bother the fish. Had to keep changing methods to keep the bites coming. Biggest barbel went 8lb 10oz. A lot of the barbel were in the 2 to 3lb which bodes well for the future. All in all a beautiful fishery.

Fished top end "bait pool" had fish from the start at 6.30. Slow in the afternoon but picked up again as sun went down. River very low so picked only area with depth and some flow. Biggest barbel about 8' and chub about 4'

6 Barbel, 8 Chub

A nice few hours on this extensive beat, the water is very low so wading to get to swims essential, but tricky !! Several small (6-8") wbt and salmon parr. Surprisingly the only grayling was ,wait for it, lost but it was a big one.
Thanks to W & U and beat owner.

Booked and arrived mid afternoon and started on the float, much easier in between canoes, had two small barbel and all the chub on sweetcorn, good fun and good banter, after the end of the canoes had a couple of hours on the feeder picking up 10 small barbel biggest wouldn't go 3 lb. A pleasant afternoon in slightly less hot conditions.

The water was at the lowest that I have ever fished here with just 4" on the Llanstephan guage. A blessedly cloudy and cool (by recent standards) day at 20 degrees max. 17 degrees water. Very few rising fish here and there during the course of the day and little fly apart from some midge. Tried nymphs and a size 18 HE emerger and, whilst I had fish on both, by far the majority came up for the emerger and, as usual to this fly at this time of year, these were mainly non-risers. Unsurprisingly, I found grayling in places one can't usually get to and not in places where you usually can! Grayling from 8-13" and trout to 12". An interesting day but lethal underfoot with lots of algae on the slabs at the top end of the beat. Great job strimming the access to the upper half of the beat! Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
