Very hard going with the water levels up and a heavy flow.
Managed 2 fish in the first 2 casts of the season which was nice! Tough going after that. Fish all taken on nymphs.
12-14” fish.

Quite tough today, downstream breeze, pretty cold and not much hatching, although some caddis did get going in the afternoon. A few fish reacted to those which saved the day - two trout on caddis pattern nymphs 12 and 8", and also a salmon parr of 7" on a CDC and Elk . Beautiful stretch of river - lots of kingfisher, grey wagtail and dipper activity, and had one of the latter wading up a riffle underwater ahead of me at one point! Access to a few of the sections is pretty tricky at the moment down a steep and very overgrown bank. A ladder in one or two spots would really help especially for older/less mobile anglers, but then I did really love the wild character of this beat - thanks again for a lovely day!

Getting down to the river is a bit of a nightmare on this beat. Lovely water though once you’ve scrambled through the undergrowth! A 2 pounder saved the evening.

Very difficult to fish from the bank and couldn't find any safe way down to the waters edge due to slight restricted mobility. River was very muddy due to the rain but we still enjoyed the day

No fish taken access to the river was a bit of a fight as it was over grown saw otters and kingfishers a good day out

Fished an evening ticket, mainly in the top half of the beat, but not as far as the bridge pool. 1x 11" fish to JD. Otherwise both rods had long distance releases and an embarrassing amount of near misses. Fish intermittently rising from about 8pm to 9pm, Long slog back to the car with narrow headlands and head high bracken to fight through at the styles. All part of the fun . Wondering if one could park by the bridge?

Absolute nightmare to find, the postcode applies to Ashford House but also to Llandetty hall 0.75 miles away. if you go, the access is north of the postcode given, only found it by accident after stopping yet again to look at notes. Then I spent ages walking through chest high grass looking for the boulder step over the electric fence - which was not there - access by river a couple of hundred yards away by the river. The notes need updating. By the time I had found the river I had lost the will to fish.
