Interesting stretch of river. I fished the Merthyr stretch near the retail park, its lovely water. Around 2pm there was a good few Ldo and olive uprights, found a nice pool with one or two fish taking flies. I had three and lost a couple, all browns around the pound mark, all stocky's.
It would be good to have a clean up on this stretch there is a lot of rubbish all along the river.

Good day on the river, no Salmon seen, river looked ready for some.
Trout rod came out once for the Grannom coming off in the occasional sunshine, rewarded with 3 brownies in fantastic condition.

Started fishing early Saturday morning on beat 6, second cast hooked in to a nice trout (possibly sea trout? around 2lb but nothing else happened for the rest of the day. Conditions where perfect for the fly so it was a nice day out. Thanks to the Wye and Usk Foundation and Terry for the information provided.

Fishing made very difficult due to high winds; spent the day casting backwards! Still, always a pleasure to fish this lovely stretch of water. Will be back (again).

Seth at WUF suggested Abernant as a good beat for high water and he was spot on. This is a beautiful stretch of water and almost all suitable to fly fishing. Sadly, no salmon seen but I fish through the tail of Abernant Catch where I caught four trout in quick succession - not much of a feat on the salmon rod I know but one of around 3lbs put up a great fight. An enjoyable day notwithstanding the 3 and half hour drive!

The river is still carrying some colour and I didn't see a rise all day. Found one perfect 6 inch fish in the weir pool. Some tree clearing has been carried out on the lower half of the beat which makes access much easier.

4.55pm Salmon lost after 3 minutes on fly in Kitty pool. Gave a long run and jumped. Second lost fish on Nyth and Tyr Celyn beats this season.

Had a couple of hours on the top half of this beat - wonderful sport. The water is in great nick just now. Great sport on nymphs and dries; plenty of olives coming off below the faster water and the trout were eager to take on the surface or in the pots. 12 fish to 12".

Hopeless conditions for fly fishing from the bank.The designated Fly Only areas are either inaccessible or unfishable due to current water level and bankside vegetation and Bait fishers seem to dominate the litter strewn North Bank. A very poorly run fishery and not good value for money in my opinion.
