No bites, tugs or takes of any description. To be fair I forgot my weighted nymphs this trip but it doesn't stop me being disappointed by the total lack of any sign of sizeable fish. An expensive fishery, beautiful location and sunny day, I think perhaps the price should be reduced when considering this beat allows two fish to be removed per rod. If numbers of fish removed overtake fish reproduction then the fishery may decline too. Not sure if this is already happening.

Low water and bright conditions, a number of anglers on opposite bank including us made a total of seven fishing. The only angler to catch was our man D with one Barbel and a small chub from the down stream end of the first field. It was a long day without a bite.

Fished for 2 days, too hot during the day but evening time very good. This beat is ok but to many idiots messing about on bridge.

6 Barbel, 9 Chub

Zero fish. Water was 18 degrees so many were struggling. Odd fish coming out to worm. Annoyed by the fact the rangers walked past several worm fisherman using multiple rods and did nothing about it. Many anglers were telling me they hadn't even bothered buying a permit and just wait for the rangers to leave before starting to fish! Welsh Water are not running a very tight ship here.

Very hot and sunny. River level up slightly following the heavy rain and storms from Saturday but still very low and clear.

Very hot sunny day worked against us. One nice 4lb Chub on bread.

Hard work this time, had heavy rain and thunder until mid afternoon. Not too many canoes however. Plenty of fish showing but not too keen to get their heads down until mid evening as the river rose and coloured up a bit.
Pellet and meat - the river bed still as tackle hungry as ever.

3 Barbel, 3 Chub

Stream coloured after thunderstorms, no fish seen. One big tree down across the stream and a couple of smaller ones making it hard to get past about half way up also livestock barriers across and difficult to navigate round. Fished from 4pm till 5.30pm when I gave up as more thunder storms rolled in!

River cloudy following heavy rain. Water level raised.
Fished using weighted brown nymph fished down and across flow. Small brown trout caught in deep pool and returned.
