Bright conditions with only one fish spotted rising during the three hours fishing. Fantastic habitat but out of all the Arrow beats this one seems to be trickiest to catch fish (from my experience in recent years)!

Hard work in bright sunny conditions. River was in good condition and nymphs seemed to be the choice.

Smashing beat with a good variety of water. The day was clear and bright, rising fish of which there were few turned out to be mostly Grayling.

6 Trout, 9 Grayling

Snapped my rod tip within two hours of fishing, set the trout rod up but wasn't in the mood.

We did a recce upto Llynfi Talgarth in the morning where we met and had a chat with Kim Tribe but decided to fish Pontithel as Talgarth was very over grown. Plenty of fly life including a few May fly but again nothing rising. Caught a few on weighted nymphs until we came across a few fish rising.
Ended up casting to 3 Trout in as many metres, lost 2 acrobatic ones and landed 1 nice fish around 12 inches on a small F fly.
Found fish rising in the top pool and landed 1 Grayling.

A glorious day on a lovely stretch of river that I have previously only fished for grayling, but there are plenty of fesity trout too. Quite a bit of fly life around in in the early afternoon and a few rising fish, so two or three caught on dries the rest on a GRHE nymph. River very low. Wading can be tricky in places. Rock is not slippery, just slabs of bedrock with awkward steps, but the strata helps create the deep gutters that stay cool in low flows so can't complain. The trout seem to like the gutters.

Beautiful day, quiet but bright. 1 Chubb raised the pulse for a second.

Water low and gin clear 1' on guage. No fish seen. Very bright and hot day. Salmon fishing waste of time really but long way to travel from Kent. Enjoyed the day very much and impressed with the fishery. Booked this beat when the Wye was in flood.
