First time on the Llynfi. River was low and clear. Nothing rising so tried a nymph. missed one take but hooled up with the second. Very difficult to get to some fishy looking swims, but then it is a "wild stream". Damned Himalayan balsam also.

Bites from the off this morning, 1st barbel after about 1 minute, only a small one, then a few more bites in quick succession, bites dried up so moved into the wooded area but nothing ip there, back to original swim, bit of bait out and rested for 30 mins, soon as the rod went back out it was away, quick bites having 3 in the net while being rested for release. Then the bites dried up again... track so much better now too
Not a bad 1st time in this beat.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub

Although the river looked in good condition with the level falling slightly , the day proved hard going. Barbel on krill and shrimp boilies, chub on mixed seafood boilies and sweetcorn.

A few hours here before home, parking at the bridge was ok . Lovely valley there for sure and peaceful beyond measure.
Some nice pools to start with but branches overhanging! There gone though now...
Up from there aways was pretty skinny water but flowing well . Crystal clear , clean river bed,no algae and wading was fine. Good assortment of bugs on the rocks too.
Didnt get that far up tbh , just the one to hand and the usual fluff ups. More fish seen too.
A large brew and Hobnobs back at the van watching the sky turn a deep rosy pink and contemplating how to get through the steep wall of wood downstream of the bridge! Its a monster ! Looking at the OS map I reckon there could be some nice pools further down.
