7 Grayling

Lunch time fishing for an hour, dropped into the river via the grounds of St Thomas Church, Abercynon. Parking on the side streets nearby. Fished from the river Cynon junction to just above the road bridge, only 100 yards or so. Had around a dozen grayling, lots of shots but also a good few fish between 11 and 13 inches. All to a pink shrimp fished on a mono ‘Euro nymph’ set up. This beat has a lot of grayling present, which can be found to the top boundary of the beat, which is as far upstream as they are present in the Taff. The wading here is quite tricky, so a wading staff might come in handy.

Lovely day in spite of the lack of a barbel

A peaceful day trotting red maggots on a split cane rod. Running fast in places but clear. Recent floods have changed the river landscape, trees gone, banks undercut, and pebble shores moved. A lot of bankside vegetation had been flattened by the spates which made access easier. Fish caught all over the best. Virtually no wind which meant very few leaves. A perfect day, thanks WUF

Can't quite believe the nice weather I'm getting this week, perfect conditions here ( 0.5 ddol gauge) one of my favourites beats but not the easiest to fish but at this level it's whole lot better. Only fished the bottom beat today but strangely the top and bottom pools didn't fish well at all? ( only 1 fish from each) all fish caught euro nymping and had grayling to 16" ( no tiny ones) and trout to 14" again all a good size.

Strange day. Started at first light. Conditions perfect. Had a couple of good chub early and lost a decent barbel at the net. Then quiet until 2.30 and the chub came on to feed. Sadly no more barbel though. The guns were out and at various times it was like an artillery barrage. Celebrating Trump’s victory?

Fished middle of beat, old wharf area, on or close to crease. Fish, all 3-4 lbs, came to spiced meat. Left some rigs in river bed snags.
Not a great day by Wyebank standards but…no sign of eels. A bonus.

River was in good condition, very accessible. Great day despite the single fish.

I did not attend due to the lack of facilities
