Water level quite low but otherwise conditions were perfect. Lots of surface activity. Most fish taken to emergers. Two of grayling 12"+ and ditto one of the trout. Otherwsie most fish in the 6-8" bracket. A very nice day of fishing in a very nice location.

For 2 of us beginners this was our first encounter with genuinely wild fish. Many thanks to Lyn Davies for excellent and patient guiding!

Yes, the wading is pretty tricky - though with a staff at the current low water level not too bad.

I fished just below the fishing hut - turning the car here is tricky. Then underneath the suspension bridge and the planks below. Then towards the bottom of this beat after driving along the old railway track. Again turning the car around is very tricky.

Rose a couple of splashy efforts - I suspect salmon parr. Saw a couple of good "trouty`" rises near the fishing hut.

Although no fish caught I saw two kingfishers, one below the suspension bridge and one at the fishing hut.

Always a challenging beat to fish, with some very difficult wading situations but it's well worth the effort – take great care on the slippery rock! Such a pretty place though, the fishing hut is great, there's so much water to cover and it holds a really good head of grayling. With such low water and bright sunshine, all but one were caught nymphing. Parking is interesting off the A470 – reversing down the rough track is advised!

I saw one salmon, but only caught a 74 cm barbell.
