I caught One 8lb 3oz Barbel and one 9lb 9oz Pike. Loads of weed and water was coloured in comparison to previous visit. Canoes not really an issue. Two eels to approx 3lb were also caught. Weather was warm with a few heavy showers.

We were a party of 2, both using standard barbel timebomb pellet method.
Using the far bank swims to avoid snags, the fishing became difficult from late morning due to heavy canoe traffic. Although most were polite and avoided the lines, some still managed to sweep away our tackle. As a consiquence, it was much easier to stop fishing until 4pm to avoid anymore upsets. Once we had resumed fishing, bites started from 5pm and lasted until late evening when we made our weary way home. Thanks for the day :)

A long walk to a very nice beat. Water level low and clear. All fish taken towards the evening in the faster water on meat. Many thanks.

A nice looking beat with lots of variety. Never fished here before so a bit of a learning curve. Lots of chub about, barbel hard to find, only one caught at 7lb 13oz - all fish on pellet.

Great fly water but no luck today. Six salmon moving in Vanstone and 2 in the wires. But no takes on fly apart from a chub and a perch. This must be the best kept beat on the river - clear pathways and cut out steps.

3 x trout 11-17 inches, Bibio and Pearly Harry. Another stormy evening on the shores of Talybont, with a big wind pushing white horses down the lake and a rather lurid sunset reflecting on the underside of clouds. Threatened rain, however, never quite came. Regulars are talking about the condition of some of the Talybont fish, which are really quite superb this season. One wonders what it is they are doing so well on: snail, corixae, sticklebacks? One of the disadvantages of rarely using a priest, these days, is that you don't get to use a marrow spoon either.
