Fished 6 hours in afternoon up until dusk. Got soaked in torrential thunder storm. Had first couple of barbel early on, then the chub and another barbel came middle afternoon, strangely nothing in the last hour. Still really like this beat even though fished it quite a few times. Nice to have no cattle to contend with, not too far to walk and I seem to always get a couple of barbel so it's close becoming my favourite beat so far. Thanks WUF.

3 Barbel, 2 Chub

Where were the grayling? Extra water in the river and coloured but not opaque. Heavy shower at midday but otherwise fine with some olives hatching. In every run and glide there were trout snapping up my PT and sawyer nymphs, but no sign of grayling. Trout were of good size and excellent condition, all swam off strongly.

We had a great day trotting maggot. River was low and clear despite rain during the week. All fish were returned. Largest Grayling were just over 1lb. We stayed at The Seven Stars in Aberedw.

A warm day, river slightly high and a little clouded, but all the grayling and brownies keen on eating. 2x grayling 10" and 12" taken on copper head nymphs close in to near bank.

Not a good day with no barbel caught but we really enjoyed it, better luck next time.

A beautiful and tranquil stretch of the river. However, it was very disappointing in terms of the amount of swims available. The lower areas are basically impossible to fish due to there being no managed swims at all apart from two which were clearly very dangerous in the wet weather. Below those two the bank side was way too overgrown with trees/bushes to even consider creating your own swim.
Very annoying considering some of the best looking water could not be accessed.
To top that off, the barbel were playing very hard to get and we only had one between the two of us.
Will think twice before returning to this beat - I think WUF need to have a word with the riparian owners.
