Troublesome wind, not much fly, not many rising fish. Two trout, 8" and 10". Also a dace. I parked by the river, about 100 heifers licked my car. Had to move.

Water low and clear with a strong downstream wind. CJK had 3 undersized trout from the fast water of the rapids on a goldhead hares ear nymph and invicta. JW was fishless.

Incredibly low water for April and thus lower Llangoed very easy to fish. Early fish on a variety of nymphs and then a sporadic rise from early afternoon onwards saw plenty of offers on emergers / surface film flies. Because I don't fish rivers often a small foam beetle seemed to fit the bill - at least the fish thought so.

Upper Llangoed saw a few chub but the rapids and below is where the trout were. Saw a few early Mayfly but only 1 or 2 so of no fish consequence. Lovely day, 13 fish to 12".

5 Trout. 4 grayling, 1 Salmon Parr mostly on PTN, a few others hooked and lost. All in the 8" to 10" range. No fish retained. Very enjoyable on a very peaceful beat. Despite the lack of flow in the long gutter up from the water works, a small hatch brought many fish to the surface for a short time around mid afternoon.

V hot and sunny. Not many rises. Two trout 9" each. One grayling 10" on nymph.

Glorious autumn day, but alas no sign of any Salmon. Still, managed two Grayling, one on an Ally's Shrimp and the other on a Silver Stoat! Saw Kingfishers, Dippers, Herons, Buzzards and Mergansers. I could always take up birdwatching!

3 small trout, 4 small grayling, several parr. All returned. Nymph and dry fly.

Nymph and dry fly.

Got a blank on this day. Very low water and only had a couple of hours mid day which made it quite tough. Lovely beat and I'm sure with more time I would have had success as the fish did rise occasionally.

Saw a group of about 7 nice and big Barbel (think its Barbel at least).

I fished Llangoed last Sat; it was a day of heavy showers. Fish showed in the glides near the water works from early morning onwards rising to yellow-coloured, medium sized upwing flies. A couple took the nymph; also had some small fish on nymphs NZ style on a run down from the water works. Best trout – a pound and a bit - was taken Czech style in the rapids below the Llangoed (sp) pool. I came across the rapids late and would like to have spent more time fishing them. Streams were thin at the top of the beat. It was a fun day, despite a leaking wader!
