Nobody catching,except crayfish!!… shocking!

Crayfish heaven…so annoying to pay good money and not so much as a trout in sight!!

Beautiful Beat but water was very low level and gin clear. Yet running through quite fast. Good access to to the river , but the fishing was ver slow. Mainly fishe the lead.

There was a bit of a downstream breeze blowing, but the water looked perfect - falling from rain the day before and still a hint of colour in it. Not much rising, despite a large hatch of what looked like very edible flies around 4pm. I found plenty of small fish on nymphs, including two at the same time on my lead fly and dropper, and one of around 1lb.

Low, slack water. Some colour, but pretty clear to depth of 3ft. Good conditions. First line in at 7.15am, ledgered pellet. Knocks but nothing really positive till 10.30 when wrap and run saw fish head into weed and rocks, where it was lost. Frustrating morning. A few feeders lost on snags
At noon things perked up, with a good 8.5lb Barbel, taken on ledgered pellet.
Transfer over to float (corn,, hemp and meat) saw several small Chub and big Dace accounted for, with a large Perch lost (on corn!) but by 2. 30pm, action died down . Water noticeably warmer. Ledgered meat brought tentative bites, but nothing connected.
6 till 9 brought significant change. Initially some decent Chub (up to 4lb) landed, at at last, a trio of Barbel (6,6,5). All fish in good condition. Largest Barbel had noticeable hump in back. Action came in waves. Almost as if switch flicked. Good sport.
Dusk was the trigger time. As others have commented elsewhere, it seems to make the Barbel bolder, and Chub get edged out.
Hard work and perseverance required. The last 3 hours, turned it into a memorable day.

Rain and wind came in and stayed for the day. I fished 4 AAA waters today. Nothing at the first three, but plenty of action at Llyn Craiypistyll. Fish were interested in a large hopper fly drawn through the waves. Only managed one to the net, but it made a tough day worthwhile.
