Waded out in the top section had one trotting bread on the top. Had 3 trotting pellet in the deeper parts on the far bank and 1 feeder fishing pellet and 1 feeder fishing with pellet on the last swim. See why it says winter fishing in the description a lot of nettles and hard to get down to the river

Went fishing today with a colleague who has booked separately. His late arrival led to us starting at lunchtime and as he had travelled down for the day we also left a little early. I decided to let him fish the best swim, use some of my kit, offered moral support as he caught fish after fish, took photos of him with the fish and then helped carry his kit back to the car. It is after all a team game and it is not all about winning and losing! ( I clearly lost!) I cannot wait for the next session together! On a serious note this is a very nice beat albeit the woods are a little tricky even in dry weather.

Fished from 6 pm till dark. River very low! Good hatch but little activity and then only around 8pm for half an hour. Lovely scenery and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Fished the stretch above the viaduct at Aberglais Inn - fast flowing, nearly all rocks, some deep pools, hard wading. My old legs were knackered by the time I reached the footbridge! Managed to land 6 at 6 -9" having tempted many more to at least have a look at the small para adams and rust klink. Interesting that all the feeder springs and tiny streams were still flowing.

River very low but at least it was a bit cooler. We started fishing at 3pm but not a touch until almost dark and then a hectic last hour. Fished the slower but deeper gullies upstream. All fish on feeder tactics using pellets.

Fished 2.00pm-8.00pm. I decided to make the arduous trek up the hill and through the woods to the faster water, whilst my fishing colleague (booked separately) bottled out and sat in the closest swim to the car. Eventually the sight of me catching fish brought him downstream to join me. Caught steadily, Barbel on lead/pellet bags (feeders are less productive in these conditions) and Chub on the float. All fish swam off strongly. An enjoyable afternoon!
