Perfect conditions today , overcast and the river was up and rising . Still a little bit of weed coming down but much less than the days before . Tried rolling meat to start with ,only managed one chub with this method . It proved quite difficult with the fast water ripping the bait off , so pellets it was . Lots of bites in between takes to keep you on your toes . Barbel were 4 to 6lb no sign of the huge shoals of small barbel that this beat is known for , this must occur when the river is lower . Both chub over 3lb and fought just like the barbel in the fast water . If you’ve never fished here before be aware that this beat is full of snags ! I always use a helicopter full of SSG shot , or a thread through weight , this works very well here . Didn’t loose one rig all day , I did loose 2 fish though which is always gutting but still a good session . Lydbrook is stunning , a perfect day !

Fished first swim at top of field to start but wasn’t set up for the pace of the river. Moved to the corner swim by the wall. Fished from 7am - 7pm would have stayed later but swim was very snaggy. Still I will be back to explore further down the beat another time

Arrived early morning to find the river much more coloured than I had hoped. Llanstephan gauge on 1’8.
I fished a big bright tube for while through a few pools but was done and dusted by 10.00am.
Nothing caught or seen.
