Great beat. Struggled to find the barbell with the water rising very quickly. Will be back.

River in flood. Some fish seen but not landed. Most activity Crewil pool. Spinning and fly used.

Fished the afternoon evening and caught plenty of good size Chub on a slowly rising river after some heavy rain in the morning and overnight. Unfortunately, I couldn't tempt the Barbel with pellet baits offered!

Landed a barbel on the first cast of the day, unfortunately that was it. Did catch a nice trout, it took pellet as I was reeling in.

First time fly fishing on the Towe. River was very high, which made it difficult. We ended up wading further downstream of the Crewill Pool where the river meanders. There seemed to be plenty of fish, but not much luck catching them. I only caught one small sewin on a blue flash damsel pattern using intermediate line in the late afternoon. Beautiful fish. Hooked a few bigger ones but didn't land them. Fantastic day though, plenty of wildlife to enjoy and stunning location. Access to the East bank of the river was very poor. Had to carve a route through head high weeds for a long way.

A nice piece of water meandering through pastures. Easy parking and easy walk to bottom of beat. Some fallen trees and tricky casting this time of year. Got three trout to 8" and these were hard-won fish over the course of a slow 6 hour stroll up the brook. Had booked Hindwell - Knill as I thought I would run out of water on Combe, but never got there.

Four Chub to 3.5lb on trotted corn and standard swimfeeder pellet techniques. A slow but beautiful day, giving my Dad the first taste of the Wye. We will be back.

Rained off but the beat looked promising. Huge thank you to the farmer who helped me get my car out after I, er, accidentally drove into a diditch. What a top man he was!
