Another fabulous day on this superb bit of water. Fished afternoon and evening. 8 barbel and lost count of the chub. Long trotting with corn and touch ledgered spam did the trick. Don as welcoming and helpful as ever. Thanks.

5 x Trout 8"- 9". 1 x Grayling 10".

5 x trout 8-9 inches, 1 x grayling 10 inches, small Klinkhammer and a Hare's Ear. Pretty and peaceful as ever. This was a dry fly afternoon, but must make a note to search those deep holes with heavy nymphs for grayling - something to do in September?

Fished from early 0630 until 1900. I saw so many salmon in this beat that I lost count of sighting. These were both resident and travellers, I think about 20 different salmon mainly on the croys and in front of the house.
Tried everything I could think of to no good end. Don let me fish down through the "Run" last thing but without result in respect of salmon.
Final result; Salmon nil, Shad 1 about 2lb, Pike 1 about 18lb on a Mepps, Brown Trout 1 about 1 1/2lb.
Does anyone want to buy any Salmon kit? Think I'll go back to barbel.

River very low with a lot of weed and slime. Trout very wary, so pleased to catch and return 4 up to 9", as well as missing many. On a small dry olive. Lovely stretch of water but it needs rain!

8 chub and 4 barbel between the 2 rods.

Four of us had a great day, caught upwards of thirty WBT interspersed with salmon parr. Good water and plenty of rising fish-took small klinkhammers and a little black wet pattern of my own. Fished nearly all of the beat, just as it said in the passport-classic mountain stream stuff. I fell in [the classic wet sit down on a sloping river bed made of wet slate slabs.....] early on at the bottom but it did not dampen the day.

3 barbel to 7-05 caught on swim feeder and elips pellets. Floating weed again a problem.

Perfect conditions: warm, overcast and only a little wind for the most part. Only caught 4 brownies, small stuff to 7" and one grayling a little larger. Flies were Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear, Klinkhammer Dry and Coch-y-Bundu.
I think WUF need to review their pricing on this beat. Quite a large part is unfishable, in practical terms. The wooded stretches include deep pools that even chest waders are no match for. Looking at the charges for the Roving Voucher Scheme, I reckon this beat is worth £10 a day. If it contained decent-sized trout, maybe £12.50, but no more.

Around 15 fish taken between 4 of us, fishing cage feeder and pellet. Fished as close as possible to the run-off below Boy's Rock. It's a shame fishing is not allowed in front of the cottage (immediately below the rock), and this would undoubtedly be a fantastic barbel swim. River level was too low to realistically target the shallow reaches lower down, although with a bit more water on it looks like this could produce some fish. Quite a lot of rowing boats at the lower end of the beat, though.
