First time visitor and although most impressed, with the ease of access to this remote but well maintained beat, the amount of water available was quite overwhelming and to be honest I came away somewhat disappointed in my lack of success. Most likely due to my limited ability to read the water and can only recommend either the use of a guide or booking into the local B+B for a week to be able to do this one justice!
As suggested by a very helpful season rod I did wade out as far as I could; to a large flat rock [beyond the rapids even], and fished above and beside the “large boulder”. The finest point from which to cast a fly that I have found in 45 years of fishing throughout the UK! [So enjoyable in fact that I fished it through for far longer than necessary].
For trout anglers; I counted 14 runs and hollows in the 50 yard section just in front of the hut while enjoying my lunch, so over 1.5 miles of available fishing that should equate to??

Two trout taken but a number of others rose to spider type flies fished Tenkara style. I fished from about 7pm to 9:30pm when I left the river because of another 4 legged fisherman. I spent about 5 minutes watching an otter feeding just bellow the junction pool. Great to see a wild otter. It is my first.

Arrived early and fished my favourite swim until noon but it was slow going. Left the river to the canoeists and headed in to Ross for some lunch. Decided to give a swim I never really fancied for the evening and caught from the off. Excellent sport with largest Barbel weighing 9lb exactly. All fish caught on feeder and pellet/sweet corn.

11 Barbel, 7 Chub

First time on this stretch Fished up from Merthyr Vale From 3pm to 9pm v low level water, weather overcast, warm. Some trout rises but fish very easily spooked. 1 small wild trout caught and returned. No greyling evident.
Water quality good but sadly high volumes of bankside plastic and metal rubbish spoils the experience of being out in nature.

River running slightly high and colored. Good days fishing with bites coming consistently through the morning. Takes drying up a little from around midday onwards however.
Chub to 4lbs and barbel to 8lbs landed.

Arrived at 8pm to a rising river. Heavy rain continued making fishing difficult.
