First visit to Cefnllysgwynne and without my old pal A W (poor bloke is under pressure) his daughters wedding Saturday apparently he has been out mowing grass until 9 pm last last few nights!!
Fished from 1.30 till 7pm water was quit fast running and cloudy started mid beat with small nymph with a bit of flash and missed 5 first takes eventually netted a nice coloured 8" trout.
5pm jumped in car wader on boots still on and drove up to the parking by the church fish just below weir and caught 4 smallest trout and again missed as many!!
Great beat, very well maintained beautiful surroundings although quite testing getting around once in the water, seemed to be a lot of fish . I spoke to both the owner and fishery administrator who were both very helpful. I will be back soon when the river is a bit lower

I was fishing on my own and covered the 3 pools suitable for fishing with a fly with no luck. No fish were showing. I particularly enjoyed fishing Lady Alexanders Catch; a most attractive pool.

I caught a half pound trout which I tried to return but it expired when I was removing the hook.

I noticed 2 people fishing, probably for trout, on the opposite bank near Abernant Stream in the morning.

1 Trout

River still high (covering large areas of shingle normally exposed during the summer) and coloured. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the bottom of the beat (below the croy). Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. First fish turned out to the largest of the day - 4lbs. Sadly no barbel.

No work had been done on the parking area by the river - all overgrown. No really suitable for regular cars (especially if wet), only 4x4s.

River levels at 0.71 on the Ross gauge. The river was dropping after a bunch of rain a few days before. I decided once I got there I would pre bait a few swims and try and nick a bite as quickly as possible. It took a while to get a bite and my 3rd swim move I finally had a chub. The spot I dropped the most bait into I started fishing at 10:00am and by 10:30 I’d had 2 barbel and 8 chub. The spot was rocking. It dried up fairly quickly tho so I put a bit more bait in and left it for an hour. It wasn’t until 15:00pm that I managed another barbel.
