Not enough water today. The river above where the stream joins is too overgrown to pass let alone fish. There is also a lot of barbed wire fences and cattle fences across the river to negotiate. The first half of the beat is good though.

My first experience of this beautiful beat. A rather cold and overcast morning with nothing much showing. It took me three hours to reach the midpoint, so many interesting fishy pools to explore. Six fish, all to nymphs including one 12” beauty from the pool just below where the Triffrwd joins.

Only fished part of the beat, water still a bit colored from the recent rain. One nice grayling about 12 inch, all trout where on the small side between 6 and 9 inch. No rising fish at all.

16+ trout to hand and 1 grayling all taken on nymphs in the fast water at heads of pools . There were a few rising fish but these all looked juvenile trout so carried on nymphing. This was the first time I fished this beat and I quite like it, the lower half had more pools holding some nice trout and the further up you go there is some good dry fly water. I did not make it anywhere near the end so the top third I cannot comment on but what was fished is nice water. Unlike the lower beat on the Llynfi Dulais, this one is much more open and was able to use my 7ft cane rod with no worries of it crashing into overhead branches.

Started at 10......absolutely no fly life nor fish despite favourable weather.......finally a small fish on a GRH nymph size 16....decided to move on at 1pm.

A lovely but tricky river to fish. Water very clear so fish were easily spooked. Saying that there weren't many fish around to spook, but fishing likely pools worked and landed 2 fish of a pound each. For the size of river it was nice catching fish of that size, both returned.
