First time on this tiny beat and worried about the drive down which was no problem. Started off fishing for barbel - saw a couple on the near bank. No joy but chub on meat, Went on to waggler with hemp and corn for epic action from chub from 12oz to 3lb - so many lost count. Even more big dace - lovely to see them boiling on the surface. Virtually a fish a cast on the waggler. Met Gordon the owner - lovely chap who pointed out an interesting far bank rock ledge which holds barbel. Tried for them at the end of the session but just chub to meat and various sized pellets . Despite its size I was extremely impressed with this peaceful beat not far from Hereford with its sparrow hawk and buzzard action in the giant trees opposite.
I will certainly come back to try for the barbel on the waggler.
ps picnic benches make for a nice lunch break. pps bring a rope and dog spike if you are not nimble.

Er cymryd amser i grwydro yr holl ffordd o amgylch y llyn tro ‘ma, a thaflu llinell nawr ac yn man, gydag amryw o blu gwahanol doedd dim bachiad o gwbl.

Ond, toc wedi 9:30yh, tawelodd yr awel, daeth llonyddwch gwell i ddwr y llyn, a dechreuodd y brithyll godi.

Daeth un i’r rhwyd, ar batrwm cartref o hopper bibio, cyn ei ryddhau yn ddiogel. Min nos hyfryd arall yng nghesail y mynyddoedd.

Despite wandering the whole perimeter of the lake this time, and throwing a line in different areas, with a variety of flies, nothing seemed to be right.

However, just after 9:30pm, the breeze dropped, the lake stilled just enough, and the trout started rising.
One came to the net, on a homemade bibio hopper pattern, before being released safely. Another night of calm in the mountains.

A big thankyou to the fishery owner for taking the time and effort to install steps into most of the swims,a pleasant few hours at Foy bridge only 1 chub of 4lb 3oz as I could not fish the fast water as another angler present.

Quiet evening.

Conditions looked ideal, but the fish weren't playing.
