Tough day but very enjoyable nonetheless. We covered both ends of the fishery but couldn’t buy a bite early on.
The afternoon was more fruitful though. Great fishery, made all the better by the hard work being put in by Stefan. He is also definitely worth listening too if you get the opportunity to chat with him.
If I have one criticism, it is that more ropes are required to help get in and out of the swims at this time of year.

Lots of tiddlers. A nice quiet stretch. I cleared vegetation to a few spots but much of it is only suitable for those of good balance and who are happy fishing in fairly uncomfy positions.

Lovely damp Autumn morning with the brook up a few inches and very coloured from the rain over the previous days. Managed to catch three beautiful conditioned trout up to 9" on a beaded GRHE. Tough going due to the height and colour of the brook especially when wading in unknown areas of the beat. Frustrating also that access is so restricted. Barbed wire to crawl under to access above the bridge! Electric fence all the way up the field to the next public stile where you then have to limbo dance under an insulated section of the wire to head back down the field to my starting point of access. Then more barbed wire to deal with!!! The cows had flattened certain section of the beat prior to the installation of the electric fence which did prove useful. Sign at the parking point warning of a bull being in the field so had to be watchful as I had to walk on his side of the fence prior to starting fishing that area of the beat and obviously my return to the car.
As mentioned, 3 lovely trout to the nymph but after an hour things went very quiet and the colour became darker with no offers.

Hi,
The weather was very wet on Pond Rhosrydd, however some nice fish were showing, and using a black gold bead spider I managed to hook into a nice 1 pound Brownie.
A good result given the weather.
