Reservoir very low at the start of 2022 drought. Had to work hard for 4 fish. Nice mix for the weekend combining with a day on the Ebbw. All fish came to a Captain Peacock.

Fished at Widdy bank ….seriously windy , dry fly best method . Only fished till about 1.00 pm .

One barbel, approximately 5lb or 6lb, caught on pellet fished with a gripper lead. Caught at about 11am. However, the sheer number of canoes then, became so overwhelming that I curtailed the session. I must have watched around 100 paddlers in groups of around 10 passing by every five minutes or so. Many of them seemed to pay no heed to other river users and I had to regularly alert them to my lines or had to wind in.
I gave up and left at around 1.15pm. Pity.

1 Barbel

Caught a nice lump of a chub down the bottom end in the fast water and a barbel about 5lb ????

Very strong wind towards the dam. Water was coloured up. Slogged hard with various flies/techniques but ended with 2 circa 8-9”. Lost a much better one at the death.
