River very low. I wish I brought felt soles the rocks were very slippery. Got two very nice trout on leader to hand tactics.
The directions have changed the there is no toilet sign and I think the layby mentioned has been filled in.

Fished ticket machine side for 5 hours and nothing caught. Went over other side into the bay and used small mepps, catching 6 fish in 2 hours. They really go for small spinners.

1 x coloured cock salmon, 32 inches, on Bann Shrimp. 1 foot 3 inches was showing on the Llanstephan gauge after rain. I would have appreciated a few inches more, but there was a nice red peaty tinge to the water (possibly from the Irfon headwaters?). An early fish on a cool and cloudy morning, but further success seemed less likely when the sun came out and the day heated up. I spent half an hour sitting on the bank watching an otter fishing his way up the main run of Cwm Geifer.

The day started off overcast and showers, started off in the swim at bottom of fishery, a little tight with over hanging trees. Started to fish with pellet and groundbait with a few little bites, changed to bread crust and the chub started to bite.
What a lovely day fishing for chub but unfortunately no barbel. The water was rising and the sun started to come out so left at 3.30pm. This will be a great winter fishery with the amount of chub.

Beautiful stretch of river. No salmon but three excellent brown trout. Marking promising pools on the beat map would help anglers.

Water with a rise of 9 inches and constant weed flowing down and cloudy made the day impossible to fish. Packed up at 10.30 am given up as a bad day.

I had a good four hours fishing and caught a lot of trout but no Grayling. The fishing was relatively easy compared to some of the wild fish beats and I was able to use a 3.9m tenkara rod without any problem. I fished from about 4:pm to about 8pm and fish were rising all the time. The river was really low which meant that I did not need to wade in a lot of the pools.

Fixed from 3pm to 7.30pm. Nice sunny, breezy evening. Nothing above weir, water very low now. No rises & only small grayling below weir 5-7ins. Dry fly.

1 Trout, 7 Grayling

Very pleasant afternoon, river low and clear but still a decent flow. The tree cover is quite dense in places, but not enough to stop fishing in most places - today the cover was quite helpful in providing shade so the trout were less easily spooked. Landed 15 to 11" from all stretches of the river, all on para adams or light olive. What could be better?
