Another lovely day on a wonderful stretch, all fish on pellet. Thank you Wye and Usk.

Water as low and clear as can be possible. I fished with a 50+ year old split cane 7 ft rod and 6 weight dry line and managed two small par in the wood stream. John Phillips went to the top run and had a similar experience. This was from 7 -8.30.
John switched to rock and lost one beauty on a CDC and landed one of about half pound. I went in at the steps for last half hour while John fished tail of Chine Pool. I landed 5 between 9.30 and 10 all between half and three quarter pound, and lost several large fish in the rock cut. A very lively half hour. John had one small fish at the tail which was disappointing. Probably fish move from the belly up the cut to the faster flow at the rock as many large fish were feeding late on. Surprisingly good last half hour given the water conditions.

Evening session using methods recommended in Courtfield literature provided landed two large barbel, a large chub and some smaller ones on one rod. Despite using the same set up the other rod had just one small knock. Good sport. We'll be back soon hopefully.

Caught a couple of WBT and connected with a few others briefly. Prolific hatch in the early evening largely ignored by the fish.

Fished an hour or so before breakfast, no fly life.

Cracking days fishing, the sport was non stop. This beat seems to be the nursery area at the moment as there seems to be only smaller ones to be caught. The largest one of the day was 4lbs 10oz. The largest chub was 3lbs 6oz.
All were caught from the bottom pool on feeder and pellet.

Access is very challenging and the levels appeared low. Spent the first hour surveying the beat from top to bottom and another two hours finding accessible spots to fish. Frustratingly poor access and little signs of fish meant that I gave up after an hour of fishing and moved on.

One trout retained (32cm). According to a local angler that we met Llyn Teifi is stocked but not Hir and Egnant.
The directions to Llyn Teifi on your pdf are totally incorrect! Roads described do not exist. The lake is reached by turning right at Ffair-Rhos off the B4343. The Strata Florida road is a dead end. When I bought further tickets in Tregaron they entitled us to fish any Tregaron waters not just a single lake as yours stated.
It is useful extending your booking site to rivers other than Wye and Usk but only if up to date and correct. It is the easiest way for a visitor to buy a ticket as information on where these can be purchased locally is not easily obtained.
WUF Note: Our apologies for the misleading directions for Llyn Teifi - we will look into these. With regards the tickets, keeping the waters separate was how the club wanted us to market their fishing. We will, however, pass the comments on to them.
