A difficult day. River very low and little fly. Three small fish gave themselves up to a small comparadun in a brief rise before sunset.

Tried for barbel again but only had one small one early morning by the hut, chub featured strongest most of the day with two fish over 5lb all falling to 8 my halibut pellets on ledger and pva or feeders.
Lots of weed running though today making fishing tricky at times. Best sport was early on today.

1 Barbel, 7 Chub

Fished for just a few hours in the morning. River level still very low. Managed just one small barbel and a chub. Nice beat.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Very nice beat with the added advantage of vehicle access along most of bank. Just a-shame that the drive to the 5 possible swims passes by 3/4 of the bank side totally overgrown and only accessible by mountain goats .On that note we do realise this is down to the landowners to address and not W&U . Fish caught feeder and various pellet Boilie combos . Bottom end faster water shallows offers lots of nursery stamp fish under your feet and occasional better ones (9lb10oz) and the hilarious spectacle of The Day Trip Canoeists capsizing as they exit rapids! Priceless and didn’t put the fish off.

It fished well but a good number of fish were thin with a few carrying argulus lice.

Having parked at the caravan park we made our way down to the river, and when you get your first look you see the true power of the river as it crashes through the upper falls on the beat.

Having walked downstream to the end of the beat we fished back upstream and at 4pm were facing a blank on the dry flies. Nymphs or wets may have produced fish, but with the season coming to an end for the dries, we were determined to catch off the top. In an act of desperation a grayling steel blue was attached, resulting in a grayling of around 12 inches. My fishing partner described it as like scoring a goal with your arse. They all count, especially when there's nothing on the board.

Persistence in some very typical Welsh weather produced a target fish as a wbt of around 12 inches came to a Grenwells Glory. The rocks on this beat are incredibly slippery and studs are a must, with us both only narrowly missing a dunking on a couple of occasions
