Arrived at 2pm with my daughter to lovely looking beat,and red hot sunshine, river carrying colour and up couple a feet so feeder fished pellet landing two tiny barbel after a down pour, switched from fishing mid river to slack water after constantly picking up weed on line and landed to decent chub on 4lb mark then switched back to main flow at 6pm and pulled in 4 more barbel into dark, biggest going 5lbs to the delight of my little girl's face, small beat but enjoyable.

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

River running high, fast, cold and carrying quite a lot of colour. River level fell about 2" during the day. Mainly overcast with a few light showers. No obvious hatch observed. Both fish caught near the head of Lady A's pool on the weighted point fly of a 3 fly cast. Highlight of the day was seeing a kingfisher flying the length of the beat skimming just above the water.

Great day in the sun. River was dirty after a lot of rain on Sunday night and a bit high. I had no pulls and no fish wisely showed. Dave was fishing for trout,and it was tricky for him.

The river was around 9' indicated by the water level monitors.It was an overcast day with the odd light shower blowing over. Used a vibrax spinner for 8hrs across the entirety of the beat, yielding a small 1.5lb rainbow.
Would certainly fish again.

The previous day had been spent on the middle Usk with a salmon hooked and lost early on. This visit to Taybont was a response to the fairly thick look of the river at Glangrwyney after breakfast (though one Crickhowell member was fishing the fly there). The lake looked good from the road with a steady to fresh wind coming up from the dam end under good cloud cover. Despite a modest succession of fish raised, pricked, hooked and lost - to dries or a small hackled middle dropper - finally all went well with a handsome cock fish net weighed at 2lb 11oz. It was worth the BH traffic home. On its day what a place.
