River was very low & clear, all fish caught in evening apart from 1 chub, biggest barbel was about 8lb, all fish caught from the top end of beat in the deeper water. Quite a few canoe's around lunch time some of whom spent more time in the water than in the canoe which put paid to the fishing for a couple of hours it was a very hot day so we left the fishing for a pint in the Mill Race pub. After some refreshments in the pub we returned & walked the whole beat but decided to stick with the deeper water at the top where the barbel eventually started to show

River low, very clear and warm. Four beautiful trout, 6-8 inches, plus a couple of tiny grayling and a salmon parr. All caught on a PTN fished on a tenkara rod.

This was the first time to fish Goodrich and found it an excellent beat somewhat spoiled by the number of canoes. I had the services of Mick who was first class.
Plenty of fish showing but the day was very hot and sunny making conditions difficult.
However I hope to return towards the end of the season.

Fished in the first field near the parking, opposite the manor house on the hill. Water low and day very hot, but expectant as I intended to fish until 9 pm. Caught only 2 very small barbel under 1 lb each during mid afternoon on luncheon meat. Also tried pellet throughout the day and evening, but could not get a genuine take from anything larger. At least not a blank but very disappointing and will give Sugwas a miss next time.

Attempted to fish this beat today but unable to access start point due to dense vegetation and steep bank not allowing safe entrance to the stream. I will make a note that early season may be a better time to fish this section of the Dulas.

This little stream is rather low but fishable. Took all the 4 to 6 inch browns on dries of various types, Sedges, Humpies, I also had plenty of rises. Noticed a couple of large mayflies flying around, not sure what species they were but looked like E. Dancia.

Plenty of leisurely rises during the afternoon in the lower part of the Quarry Pool to unidentifiable flies, but no reaction to any of our offerings, whether dry fly or nymph. River in good condition, especially at the Junction Pool.

River very low but managed 7 trout on nymphs and dry fly.
