A really early start ... up at Sparrows fart, five bells, two leisurely coffee's, a bit of watering the garden then off to the Clywedog, beat the heat !!@
Parked up just before half seven .... fished dries as usual .... ha ha ....Great fun here.....a slow slow wade here ... five hours to the top of the beat, getting out at half twelve ....If you don't mind casting kneeling and fishing tiny delicate dries, etc etc then at the mo this beats is for you ... if not, try something bigger like Llanddewi.... Both are mega low at the moment and require stealth to the max !!!
Usual hiding holes had me Savage rises to my dry ........Actually by half eight some steady rises ....and some olives seen around nine !!! Fish definitely in the faster stuff, although in the deep pools, had two nice surprises on my dry ....lovely stuff!! One came up leisurely like an old carp and just engulfed my fly, superb stuff..... Great scrappers on this little brook ..
Otter prints at the bottom end, fresh too .... in fact first two pools were as lively as a dodo !!!!
Thirteen made it to my net .... a fun fun session, sizes being the usual for here,best around eleven inches, but the colours on these fish, staggering !!!
Watched a kingfisher struggle with what must have been a young trout in its beak .... looked huge in comparison to the bird ..... A lovely chilled out wade up stream on a favourite beat ..... just the best of summer hey !!! Let's hope for rain Thursday, certainly need it !!!!!

Did not fish.On arrival there was a sign on the gate that said access by 4x4 vehicles only, ( contrary to the advice given in the video) from the parking point by the top gate it is a very long walk to the nearest accessible swims.

Fishing Passport Note : There is a pop up notice altering anglers to information on the track and the need for a 4x4 prior to booking. Apologies if you missed this.

Water low in the reservoir and warm. No sign of anything moving to the surface in the afternoon until about 6pm. 1 small brown trout on a sinking line with hare's ear nymph about 5:30 then 2 medium sized brownies on floating line with a Black Pennell. All fish caught at the deeper dam end and returned.
