Hen fish 8lbs on 21 gram condom. Fish had 3" gash on flank, and fins pinkish but otherwise silver. No lice. Returned to fight another day.

My favourite brook was strangely quiet and with recent rains lower than I thought it might be. Not much hatching and consequently nothing much rising. Finished after about 4 hours with 8 trout in total, 4 of them 12 inchers and an absolute jewel of a baby trout about 4 inch long in amongst the others. Taken on Greenwells or small mayfly patterns.

25lbs colouring fish No 6 Ally from Leaning willow

We blanked. But very much enjoyed the fishing. Thanks WUF for the info on the beat.

Fished from around three fifteen to six thirty. Weather fine; little wind and no rain. Very few fish rising - just sprats. Had several takes on size 18 dry (winged, brown, anonymous) but nothing hooked. Tried Mayfly (there were a few on the water) but no interest - either in mine or the real thing! Finally tied on a small GRHE which hooked a feisty 8 inch WBT (returned).
Made a determined effort to move upstream on the RB side: the steep, wooded-bank quickly developed into a nearly vertical cliff. Went back downstream and considered trying LB access but looked a bit overgrown. The Triffrwd Brook pool awaits !

6 brown trout to about 10" mostly taken on goldhead grhe and also olive paradun. Decent hatch of olives in early evening but no mayfly seen.

Left home early to fish a few choice spots before work. Had a tug in the main lie in the tail of Spring Pool and then in Upper Heirag a solid take that turned into a 10lb clean fish. Fish was very well behaved and thankfully when on point of going down, was able to be walked back up. Terrifying place to hook one!

Nil.

I found this beat a bit intimidating, lots of very high vegetation, fastwater and some very high banks. Not a beat for a novice. I caught 2 small browns on 16 mayfly patten.
I missed 3 or 4 what looked to be good fish. I think this is a beat for the experienced fisherman, otherwise go with a friend to be safe.

One salmon 10lb, very fresh on ally conehead. Saw several other fish.
