Fished slack at bottom of stretch and had a couple of bites but no fish.....then despite my best attempts at avoiding it, the 3rd loss of gear to the "snag" I decided to move up to the middle of the beat.
All caught on spam....some straight lead, some feeder. Getting regular bites on hair pellet but no fish....assume chub. A change of tactic would have caught the chub, but stuck it out for Barbel. All in all a pleasant last day for me. Roll on next season.

Tough day with temperature keeping low and easterly wind. 4 anglers, 3 hoping for an end of season barbel or two, the other out for Pike.
Some nice size chub to 5lbs from lower end. Nothing in top field.

10 Chub

Swims in front of the weir garden very snaggy. Fished a lilt further downstream. Had no bites on crab and krill boilies or Sonu spicy sausage pellets. Brother had 2 nice chub of 4 and 6lb on meat.

Nice venue...will definitely go back next season in better conditions. Think the snow from last Saturday might have affected water temp too much.

An early foray onto the Brecon Honddu. Water was quite high, but clearing with a tint of colour. Fishing heavy nymphs we had half a dozen each over the course of a couple of hours, mostly 9 to 11 inchers. RM did however land a really good fish, of 17 inches.

Plenty of promising water but no fish for me today. Most of the beat is easy to access from right bank except for the bottom bit which I couldn't get to. This bit looked like easier access from left bank but I ran out of time to explore. River a little high but falling and clearing nicely. Bit of an easterly breeze. No visible fly life or rising fish.

No fish seen - to be expected this time of year. Fishery manager Terry very helpful . Good maps and access. Lots of water to fish so noted lies /pools would be really useful on beat Maps to narrow down the guess/ potential time wasted in unproductive areas
