lots of small wild trout! definitively more upstream towards the top end, best water on the beat.

15 Trout, 1 Grayling

River low and clear and weather not ideal. Most of the fish were caught after 4pm to pellet. I wish I had taken waders to try and stalk some fish out of the shallow runs when the sun was high. Perfect conditioned hard fighting fish. Biggest barbel was 8lb and biggest chub was 4lb 2oz.

No fish landed, all the anglers on my bank had same problem. The general concencus was that you have a late night poacher problem. I wont be fishing llwyn onn again personally I don't think its worth it.

Very long walk but well worth it we fished in the woods lovely day lots of fish. We only fished the morning and evening. Swims could do with some work
Great day

One of the most picturesque W&UF beats and always a pleasure to fish The Creel. River very low but still managed to locate a few fish, including a 3 lbs eel on rolled luncheon meat...

Not enough water today. The river above where the stream joins is too overgrown to pass let alone fish. There is also a lot of barbed wire fences and cattle fences across the river to negotiate. The first half of the beat is good though.

Quiet day, no rises - 1 small trout & grayling & 1 salmon parr all to wets in the faster water.

Late afternoon start on a warm overcast day. Wholly anticipated a wait till later for action, but surprisingly on arrival they were a few fish rising. After a few fly changes and spooked fish due to the low, clear water I connected with a lovely 12" fish around the pound mark on a #18 pale watery para. Took another two similar sized fish over the next hour or so, again on the pale watery. A good rise of fish later in evening in all pools, but failed to keep any on after numerous fly changes and rejections. Just couldn't put my finger on what they were feeding. Possibly very small needle fly, which are virtually impossible to imitate. Good evening.

2 trout caught and released. Fished with dry fly all the evening with very little surface activity.

Had six barbel from 1LB TO 9 LB 1OZS all from the main flow of the river on pellets. Stayed at the Royal Hotel in Symmonds Yat, great location but expensive to drink there. Overall lovely area and can't wait to return.
