Sadly not 1 trout ???? this week or last week however, I did catch 10 pesky perch that were in excellent condition and all were returned safely and swam away.

slow day on this stretch, plenty of water to go at but the fact anglers can fish the other bank (and it was busy...) limited where you could slot in ..of course not wanting to fish directly opposite, or merely meters down from someone and spoil there and my own fishing!

Found a couple decent looking swims in the first field, boat and canoe traffic was just a joke from 11am - 2pm though so I'd recommend not even bothering during that time. people coming in close, one couple deciding to swap seats in my swim and ending up beneath my feet! - in the end I managed 5 chub, couple really long lean fish, just spawned would of been 5s but as they were two about 4 half and the others between 2-3lb. One lost fish, possibly a Barbel kited me on long line into a overhanging tree, snagged and managed to throw the hook.

track down is fine for about 80%, but that last 20% is not great in just a 2WD car - if it had any sustained rain would be struggle, would recommend a 4x4 if possible.

Fantastic day’s fishing.. My first time on this beat. River was low and clear. 6 brown trout taken on a PTN in the faster water.

My first time on this beautiful beat. Water level a bit low and clear as gin. Hardly any flies coming off and therefore no rising trout. Fishes the deeper parts with klink and nymph. Both trout caught on the nymph. My day was made by a Kingfisher who stayed quite close to me for a while - clearly he was not too keen on the competition.

Gorgeous beat lots of wildlife to keep me interested as the fish had gone awol. Managed 2 chub after 14 hours of fishing and trying several different swims. River was low and wider than usual with lots of bankside erosian.

Llyn Ogwen, no fish caught. Overcast and very windy.

Great to be back on the local stretch for an evening session. The OOS grayling were out in force and hard to avoid catching, especially in the bridge section. Managed two hefty trout though, one from right under the footbridge comfortably nudging over 1lb and fought like a demon. Cheers WUF.

As expected water levels low which made fishing challenging. Lovely setting tbough and easy access. Very rocky underfoot so wading could prove challenging to some. Few rises seen. Tried both nymph and dry fly all to no avail. Excellent day nonetheless.

Arrived around 10am and left just after 5pm. Overcast and warm conditions. Water was clear, good level and flow. 2 anglers. We had 5 trout to hand and hooked and lost a similar number. Only covered the lower half of the beat. My colleague modestly asked me not to mention he had 3 of the fish to hand but in my defence we hooked equal numbers.
