6 Trout

Only fished the afternoon, good access along the bank

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Very few pegs available now right of the parking area. Caught all our fish in the faster water using feeder tactics with small hooks and halibut pellet. Best barbel 6lbs and biggest chub 4lb.

The forecast of nigh perfect overhead conditions, given the first day with no wind for a week, tempted me to fish this beat again. Not the cleverest move, as the river was pushing through, running at 1’ 5” on the WUF gauge (1.15m on NRW’s) and was still carrying enough colour to make wading potentially hazardous. I should have known better, having fished here for so many years! Unsurprisingly, the usually highly productive Ciliau Run and Bachawy Pool were well out of bounds. I fished first at the Clettwr and then in other accessible marginal water on the way back down. A trout and some rising grayling of 10 - 14” were caught early doors on a small HE emerger and HE Ducks Dun, the other fish coming later to a Red Tag spider, pink shrimp and Duracell jig. Some midge and pale watery spinners on the wing - good news for potential surface activity once the tide goes out over the next week or so. Headed off mid-afternoon to catch some more trout and grayling on GAS’s water on the now, very low Llynfi, on the way home. All things considered, not a bad day, but need to get my act together next time!

1 Trout, 8 Grayling

Two grayling caught right at the top of the beat on a size 12 black Klinkhammer.

2 Grayling

Strong flow pushing through and lost quite a bit of gear. Managed one Barbel about 5lb from opposite black chalet style house. Got Chub from various swims.

Beautiful beat good access ,started at top of beat and worked down .Water was quite fast flowing so needed to be careful. Eventually caught one around 8" on a nymph then missed one. Ended up by pool by the bridge with a few fishing rising lost two more to size 20 parachute Adams. Had a great day hopefully return later this week with the water a bit lower for round 2
