3 Barbel

Hard fishing with little happening. Managed 4 chub and an eel and at the end of play a beautiful barbel rattling the scales near 10lb, all caught on pellet.

Fished the runs through Merthyr Town. Very urban part of the river but plenty of wild fish to nymphs and dry fly up to 2 1/2lb.

Fantastic opening day to the season! Arrived very early and started catching straight away. Between the 2 of us we had 9 barbel averaging 5lb and 5 chub between 2 and 3lb. Fished pellets with the open ended feeder produced more than pva bags although both caught fish. Fantastic work done to the banks creating comfortable swims.

Lovely opening day with decent chub, trout and a good barbel lost long trotting, M S ended the day with a couple of decent sized barbel to finish on legered pellet, best 8lbs.
Seven different salmon seen jumping through the day - plenty in residence in the pools.
Thanks Terry for all your help and advice.

Sun and cloud, warm, low 20's. 4 barbel, best 6lbs on pellet and feeder. 18 Chub up 5lbs on pellet. Beware of 3rd swim on road side below willow stump, there's a snag at 45 degree's downstream. I lost some tackle here.

Most of middle and lower beat unfishable because you cannot get to the banks. The undergrowth is 6ft tall! Disappointing day as a result.
