Lots of water, so wading out of the question downstream. However, upstream, had great fun 3 rods caught 6 between us. Also some trout parr under the bridge. Lovely stretch of river.

6 Trout

Full sun. East wind. Very little fly about. Very few rises. Two trout 9" each. Two grayling 11". All returned.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling

VERY hot day - and VERY low river. needless to say no fish although there were some large fish idling around mid-beat before the river turns. Some Otters seen also.

Fished throughout beat, one spinning, one on fly, but no sight (or sound) of any salmon, (or even any trout, pike, shad, chub etc. which often fill in when the salmon don't show). Why, when I'm barbel fishing, are there salmon jumping all over the place, scaring the life out of me, when there's not a sniff on days like this? Goodrich Court is a beautiful stretch of river and looks so fishy - but not to be today.

Sunny but cold blustery wind. Hooked and lost one nice fish at about 11 on a heavy nymph. Few fish rising between two and 3pm, rose a couple but failed to hook on a klink.
Can't have been that cold, as somebody was swimming in the next pool up from me.

Possibly too much water, one of our members fished this river before and had good sport, but this time we all blanked.

Lovely beat, water levels low managed to get four trout to the net but lost around 5 all fish caught around the islands definitely be returning all caught on weighted tungsten nymph with the exception of one which came to the dry fly.

Fished the Taf Fechan from the Blue pool to Cefn Coed. No sign of any fish in this river whatsoever. An expensive but lovely walk. Wouldn't fish here again.

Fished fly and spinner without any luck. Saw two decent fish.

Fished fly from north bank. Cold east wind. Seems to be very poorly managed these days. Bait fishing seems to have taken over and the place is littered with empty Powerbait containers and other rubbish. If you wish to fish the designated Fly Only area it means walking a good mile as the track is closed to public vehicles. Very poor value for money in my opinion. I shan't bother visiting again.
