Great day using the French leader and klink and dink method. No monster fish but average size being around the 12" mark. Most fish taken in the picket water or in the fast rifts.

Another cloudy, chilly day. Water pushing through nicely on the Edw but little fly life. The odd olive and grannom but sparse and random.
Quite a tight little beat now the canopy is in full swing. Worked very hard for 5 wbt to about 9" on dries - tried out some new specialist barbless flies from a small online retailer - very impressed with the quality and presentation.
The heavens opened on several occasions - end of June, please!!
Early finish to watch Wales delight a nation. Don't take me home......

12 x trout 6-9 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A most welcome rural interlude after a week in the classroom. And in fact an even more welcome escape from post-referendum turmoil. Water continues to flow and trout continue to rise.

15 or so to hand in the short time I was there. All fish rose to size 16 bwo. Only managed about half of the beat due to a huge thunder storm with torrential rain which coloured the brook up in the space of ten minutes .. plenty of fly on the water bwo, midge, crane but it was the olives they were hitting. All trout between 7-12 inches with three at about twelve inches which is very good for this beat.

We used worm to catch the fish weighted down on the bottom with hook about a five foot from weight, we had nothing most of the day and then all of a sudden bang, we must have hit a school of them. My daughter caught 2, my brother caught 4, my other brother caught 2 and as per usual I caught none. It was wet for most of the day...But got better.

I was surprised to see the river so high at this time of year and quite coloured. Decided to float fish for first half of the day catching several chub. Then in afternoon when canoes slowed down cast feeder out a few times to feed the swim then rested for 30 mins before casting out. Had a steady run of chub and barbel just into dark up to just over 7lbs and chub to just over 4 pounds. Wonderful place to fish in such beatific surroundings still good value at 25 pounds a day, I will be back.

5 Barbel, 10 Chub

River well coloured and first time on the beat. Two large barbel over 7lbs and five small males, with some still producing milt. Not bad for a short day session!

7 Barbel

Small nymphs and spider patterns proved most successful, - fish were taken using both upstream and down-and-across methods, and all came from faster runs throughout the beat. Best fish was just over 2lbs, and all were safely returned.

River was fining down after a spate but still heavily coloured. Access was great as was the fishing. Usual pellets and feeder tactics had 14 barbel between us ranging frnom 2-8lb+. We will return!

14 Barbel, 3 Chub
