4 wbt - dries and nymphs. Really frustrating experience, I had to see off a poacher on the opposite bank to the car park who was using spinning tackle, he was reluctant to leave. He had no net, I suspect fish welfare wasn't his priority. Then a few hours later I had stalked a good rising fish for 20 minutes only for a portly lady who claimed to be a tenant of the landowner to give me a cheery wave then dive right in to the area where the fish was rising - five rod lengths away from me.
WUF Note: Please report any suspected poaching to NRW's emergency line on 0800 80 70 60 as soon as possible.

The weather was sunny/cloud. The river condition was good. Blanked, tried every method and nothing worked. Not even any takes. Disappointing but just one of those days.

Early start, easy to find beat. Overcast and windy with the odd heavy shower. Walked the beat before starting to fish as first time at Abercynrig. Good easy wading, reasonable flow with a bit of colour, no signs of any fish or life coming off the water. Short visit but managed 3 good browns around 2lb on the duo before leaving just after lunch. Will definitely visit again.

I have been so unlucky this year.... I love this beat, but on this day it was near dead. No trout to be seen, other than the 'uncatchable' ones around the Llanoberry Pool. No salmon even seen, despite all the water. Caught about 6 salmon parr.
I did see some youths on the other side attempting to fish. I pointed out they were poaching and words were exchanged. They disappeared, but only as far as downstream, where I could not easily reach. They come here often I have no doubt. The beat should be patrolled more, at least on the other side where there is a public footpath leading to it.

Dry flies. Slightly muddy water made wading tricky. A very beautiful stretch of river. The no dog rule sadly means I probably won't be able to fish this beat again.

I only had time to fish for about an hour. One brownie of around 6 inches caught on a dry klinkhammer. I saw one other fish move, but I wasn't there very long. It was rainy with a bit of wind. It's a beautiful beat though and I will return when I have more time.
Directions were spot on.

Took three half-pound trout on a nymph and returned them in good condition. The best fishing was at midday, after which things quietened down. A very pleasant day though on a lovely beat.
