Got to the beat and it is as it looks as you drive past, stunning but coloured up over night. Nice flee water here and you don't have to cast very far either on the right hand bank considering the width of the river. The streamy water is on your side, wading described as challenging, however the river Tay was a lot tougher. Just use a staff and its fine. The beat owner was very helpful which is always a plus when you have not fished this beat before.
No Springer today but if he or she was there I'm sure I would have had a take. Water was clearing really nicely all afternoon and dropping back a bit.

Lovely beat, quite a lot of good fly water at this height. About one and a quarter feet on the Glanusk gauge. A bit too deep to wade as much of it as I would have liked though. No sign of any fish moving at all apart from a few small trout in a sun-warmed shallow. Kingfisher, some small dark up-wings about.

All caught on worm good day fishing weather was great.

Water still quite high. Caught just one Grayling which must be the smallest Grayling in the country, in fact I think the fly it took was bigger than the fish!
Lovely afternoon to be out though although water was still very cold.

Had a fantastic day at Courtfield, the conditions were perfect as at last it has stopped raining! We met Don who put us in the swims.
My friend J had a barbel in the first 20 minutes, then went on to catch 4 more up to 8lb.
I was blanking until 1.30pm, then moved further down Legg Meadow where I caught a nice chub of 3lb and then the barbel moved in. I had 4 big fish ranging from 7lb to 9lb and lost one. Such a shame the season is ending when the fishing is now so good. They need to extend the season by at least a month. We will be back!
Thanks Don.

River dropping off after another slug of rain water passed through. Water temp 47C. Plenty of finicky bites and a few fish landed. Lovely day in a lovely spot.

Great days fishing. Don Macer-Wright was a great help. He liased with my mate who has also left report. I was into the barbel second cast fished in Legge Meadow. I had 2 of 8lb, 2 of 7lb and 1 of 6lb. My mate had 4, 2 were 9lb plus and a couple of chub. Fished the woods in the summer, good size barbel, prolific stretch, well worth booking!
