Fished for a couple of hours in the evening. Plenty of fish jumping but none seemed to be feeding on the surface. The 3 I did catch went for a ptn fished deep. 1 was 6" the other two were about 14".

Cold windy day, lots of recent rain but the Irfon does drop and fine down quickly and it did exactly what it said on the tin.
Small mixed hatch, trickling off throughout the day. Dry fly for a couple of hours and rewarded with 2 wbt and 1 grayling. All around 10". Went very quiet so decided to kink and dink and took two more feisty grayling on the klink!
Have become a bit of a small stream man over the last few years but today Cefnllysgwynne reminded me how exhilarating it is to hook and play a decent fish in a wide, deep, pristine river amongst stunningly beautiful landscape.
A spectacular beat. So much variety and so much to learn. Definitely a work in progress for me, I'll be back.

Started up in the wooded section, I had 6 barbel and 1 chub in morning on feeder and pellet but Steve did not have a bite so we moved down to the meadow in the afternoon where then steve had 5 barbel (including a personal best of 10lb 8oz), 2 chub and an eel. I finished the day with 9 barbel and 4 chub, all fish were good size.

A little bit of extra water in the morning, which was gone by the evening. All fish taken on small north country spiders. Best trout 10". Very enjoyable day but a little more water would help.

River running high and cloudy.

First time on this beat so took a while searching the different stretches. Beautifu river in good condition and delightful woodside path. Had 2 from flats on black nymph. Few yellow and brown small uprights hatching but only small fish sporadically interested and couldnt get fish to rise to a variety of dries. Returned to nymph working down flats and had several more- beautiful well conditioned fighting fish. Superb beat with excellent fishing. Thank you

4 days on this beat couldn't have been better with a rising river and some colour the Barbel fed continuously with 91 fish and plenty of chub all caught on feeder tactics from various swims unbelievable four days thank you angling dreams.
