Great place! Hopefully the wild trout population will hold up despite the attentions of a full house of FEBs (herons, cormorants, goosanders and egrets) but I'd also echo the comments of another of this year's fishermen who suggested designating Talybont as a C&R fishery. Now that stocking has stopped, lots of fishermen on 6-fish tickets (legacy of a stocked fishery?)could make a big dent in the population of interestingly-sized wild trout in this lake. (NB all fish caught today were carefully returned).

Lovely countryside, I fish these types of waters a lot. But this beat is terribly overgrown and it is on its bones. I saw plenty of fish about but casting, or roll casting was near impossible...

13lbs colouring cock today on 1/2" stoats tail tube.

Had a few hours today hoping the grayling were rising. On arrival at 2.30pm they were nailed hard on the bottom so nymphing it was to be. Picked up about 8 grayling to 15 inches and 10 trout up to the road bridge then the heavens opened and it absolutely lashed it down for an hour. After this there was a half decent trickle of olives which the grayling rose for. I picked off a further 8 grayling all between 10-13 inches to a size 18 olive and a couple more trout and it chucked it down again so decided to call it a day. Fantastic beat with a very good head of grayling..

Another great day on the Middle Hill Court beat. I fished the top swims just below the Vanstone pool and although it was a hot day the fishing was steady. Fished pellet and feeder tactics to mid-river and later in the day moved downstream a swim and changed to a centrepin and fished close in. All the fish were hard fighting and around the average 5-7lb mark. 7 Barbel in total and one eel. Left with the fish still feeding.
Till next time.........

7 Barbel, 1 Other

Lovely day and conditions were good - river at reasonable level and running clear. Trout rising in places but not particularly easy to catch on dry fly. Managed to get 5 WBT on black and silver nymph and olive CDC. All fish returned.
