Feedback & Reports

First time at Taff Bargoed. Was tough going with Rainbows following every fly put in front of them but not fully committing. Eventually landed one to a white cats whiskers and then as the evening went on managed to land 4 in quick succession on an orange flash damsel. 5 in total. 4 returned.

Unfortunately there was a few lads using spinners at the top end of the lake. Has great potential if stricter measures could be put in place. However, I would return to fish again sometime.

River had risen overnight and was fast and heavily coloured. Fished the beach but eventually had to move when the water continued to rise. Fished meat and pellet with feeder all day, no bites. Could not drive down the track as too slippery.

River levels fairly high so we had to fish in the big slack at the downstream end,had a couple of early fish before things went quiet in the afternoon sun,things livened up with plenty of bites later in the afternoon,some really nice fish today with the biggest ones going 10 lbs 11oz and 10 lbs 5 oz,along with a couple of eight and nine pounders most fish falling to swimfeeder and pellet hookbaits,looking forward to returning to this beat

13 Barbel, 3 Chub

3x barbel caught (5,6 and 7lb). Really nice spot. River coloured and had lots of pace following recent storm. Though fishable along the bank. All fish caught on Luncheon meat.

The river was slightly up, coloured and bringing down a lot of debris from upstream. Hard to find swims that we were able to fish effectively, however still caught a chub and barbel. The barbel was 10lb 2oz and caught on luncheon meat.
