Really hot day with a welcome cool breeze coming off the river. Water level low and still falling but still some colour.

5 Barbel, 11 Chub

Began fishing at 9am. 3 chub caught by 11am so moved 20 yards along the bank & immediately caught barbel. Warm sunny day but with some cloud and much cooler than last week. River was very clear but looked good. Fished until 9pm and eventually caught 13 barbel & 8 chub. All nice fish. Nice to see lots of salmon showing in the river.

Hot day and not easy going. 3 good sized chub to the roving approach. No barbel but will come back to this stretch.

3 Chub

Fish caught with worm on ledger and bubble float.

This stretch doesn't get a good review from me I'm afraid. It is very overgrown with steep banks. Unless you take a chainsaw down with you, there are very few swim options.
I am very fit and able, and count around 5 fishable swims on the stretch, with one or two looking good for barbel. We caught fish from one of these swims, but if they weren't there, it would have been a frustrating one.
There were two of us and we ended up fishing at opposite ends of the stretch as these were the only places that looked good for a bite and were fishable. Therefore not a particularly social stretch either.
That said, caught plenty of barbel to 7lb and saw some enormous salmon jumping. Salmon parr in abundance in the shallows so happy for the £22 to go to WUF, who are doing a great job.
Cheers.

Went in to Cothi. Lovely weather and landscape, arrived at 4pm river water level was very low. Saw many trouts but didnt catch anything. Later went to the Towy. What a lovely water! Even ladders to get to the water. Had one brown trout around 3lb. Hope to be there one day again. Thank you.
