Limited swim access, river low and mostswims overgrown with nettles etc. Really only 5 swims available and there was 4 fishing. One of the 5 swims was running to shallow and full of rocks so not really fishable for course anglers. I ended up fishing the water works swim, but again access very difficult having to clamber down 3 levels to get to the river, then no flat ground to sit comfortably.

Lots of eels, 3 caught one of which was very large, but they attacked the baits all the time, snapping line. Only bread bait was safe to use.

Didn’t fish. Decided against it due to forecast water heat and injured knee situation and reports of poor access/ dog spike being required. however despite giving 72hrs notice a refund was declined by the office. Be warned - absolutely no discretion given not even a credit note. Very poor customer service.

Fishing Passport Note : The terms of letting are clear and something you had agreed to at the time of booking. There are two options if you decide not to fish.

Re-booking of fishing is possible but only for the same beat for which the original booking was made and at least 10 days in advance of the original booking. Re-bookings will be subject to a £7.00 charge per beat and must be used within the same calendar year.

If you have made a booking and are unable to fish you can also ask the Fishing Passport Office to re-let the ticket(s). Unlike re-bookings, there are no time limits on when you can request this facility and if we are successful, you will receive a refund for your booking minus whatever booking fee applied.

Much better day at UHC. Conditions great although water level very low. Fished feeder and trotted both upstream and downstream sections

Another warm one, and , after some business in Llandod with a client, was either river time, of mountain bike time.... obviously cause I'm writing this, river won the battle !!!!! Lol .......
Twenty degrees and gusty again ... still, was a cracking day, fished the top section, as the usual parking now involves a herd of feisty beef cattle and a huge bull !!! So, parked up by thd Camdwr stream and walked down a bit .......
Anyway, dip tested with thermometer and she was reading 15 degrees ???? Better than the other day and, we're having cooler nights of late, down to eight degrees in Rhayader last night .... just need some rain now !!!! Maybe the weekend it seems.....
Dries as usual, two good sized fish for here, in a tally of thirteen . Ghr usual chubby hooligans for here .... all about seven or eight inches, lovely takes to ghe dry ...Half to risers, half at the fast stuff, in the heads of pools .......
A lovely session in fairness, well aren't they always !!! LOL ..... On the mountain bike early evening for a few hours, build up a thirst for a cold one sat outside The Lamb and Flag in Rhayader .... Lovely job !!!!

Absolutely dead ..nothing to report except swimmers and absolutely no access most of one bank that is not correctly marked on map ...it's so overgrown and steep sided down to a deep dangerous margin .this should be re drawn as it's misleading having the parsons fishing hut next to an un fishable spot .also the parking is not good as it is now a wheat field ..so if you go where your told to you can't turn your car round without damaging the field of wheat .
