River low and clear. No fish seen or caught.

Another lovely day had with my friend Steve.

15 Barbel, 12 Chub

1 chub and 3 carp to 6lb on ledgered meat. Too windy for surface baits!

1 Chub, 3 Other

Low clear and lots of weed lower down swims very tight at top end and need clearing.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

River in good condition. Plenty of fly on the water but only very small trout rising for it. Fished mainly above the bridge but disappointed not to have caught more than 1 11 inch trout on a dark olive. Lost a couple of small trout. However had a most enjoyable weekend whilst staying at Long Mynd House.

Third visit to this beat and enjoy the fact its a fairly short beat with very easy access to the river. Wadding also not too difficult as long as you have a wadding stick. The cows in the field didn't mind me intruding on them as I made my way down. River was low but I knew would hold fish. Czech nymphing with a Rag Tag and GRHE on jig hooks did the trick but just two brought to the net with the best probably to half pound. Fish came from Lady Alexanders Catch with the faster water keeping the Grayling interested. River needs some water and will be back.

Third time on this beat and enjoy the fact that this is a short beat with easy access to the river with fairly easy wadding as
long as you have a wadding stick. Cows didn't mind me intruding on them as I made my way down. Only two Grayling came to the net, both Red Tag and GRHE on jig hooks size 12 took the fish with one that got away. All the action came from Lady Alexander's Catch in the faster water and couldn't hit most takes. Fished until 5pm and once the wind picked up called it a day. River needs a bit more water and will return very soon.

Mainly cloudy with a few squally showers. Levels lowish. Downstream section of river almost inaccessible due to undergrowth along riverbank. Fished hares ear nymphs in deeper section up near bridge. 1 small pretty brown trout caught and released. Another good fish hooked with a thump and immediately lost.

Been a while since last here and has certainly grown on some, been a good growing season! .It was a bit tricky to find a clear way through it first (discounting the camp field stretch...too busy on the site) but crossing over to the left bank via the sheep drink just where the camping fields end and then walking up that field and then in to the small field after this there is a way through in to the river here (just !) and brings you on to the river just below dog leg a to the right (see pic ) where there is a very good and attractive pool ! A good number of good sized fish where in the pool here and then its wadeable for quite a way up until I got to some very deep pools and had to get out , which was interesting ! The banks where a bit socked in again for quite a way so soldiered on to the back of the Tregunter farm area and here the banks open out and there is a series of really very good runs and pools just perfect for a dry and a good number of fish within.
Absolutely great fun and all the fish where of good size up to 11" and all fell for the old faithful size 16 para adams , even though there was very little hatching they would come up for it very well indeed just fished blind in to likely spots. Plenty were missed too on the strike as they really nailed the fly at times.
A pair of kingfishers being busy up and down all afternoon and a red kite overhead at tree top height just added to a lovely afternoon ! Loads of minnows in the river too.
