Very slow and little movement on the surface. Fished from 15:30 - 20:00 but evening rise.

Water level as low as I've seen it, but meant you could stand right on the end of the top croy without waders, like rolling meat so decided to have a go. dropped into the hole on the edge first cast and an instant take from a chub about 4lb, from then on it was manic, almost a fish a cast. All barbel were small max about 3lb but most of the chub were decent up to 4.5lb. never bothered to get the feeder rod out. fished from 3pm to just after 7pm. Word of warning if your booked here, the path from the parking area has become a bit overgrown and difficult to see your footing, due to people bypassing it by walking along the road to get to the bottom swim

A very pretty venue. I enjoyed a beautiful day in the Welsh hills, plus some excellent bara brith (from Akerman's bakery, Crickhowell) to accompany my flask of coffee. However, whilst the fishing was lovely the catching was poor. I caught no fish having had 3 - very tentative - takes all day. The reservoir was down a bit, very clear and the sky blue for much of the day, so I wasn't that surprised at the outcome.

Very poor day. No flow. The barbel was in excellent condition, 8 pounds 7 ounces.
