Great stretch, very overgrown, 'proper' fishing. The farmer even gave me lift to the top swims on his quad bike! Tried for barbel and pike, more success with the former.

4 small trout caught and returned. Had hoped to fish an evening rise but not much moving. All fish took a Peter Ross.

Brilliant sunny afternoon spent in the magnificent landscape of Glan yr Afon. Unfortunately no fish this time.

The river was still coloured unfortunately so the few trout we caught were generally small and at the margins. I like the beat however and would like to try it again next year, hopefully in better conditions. I agree with recent post that the steps leading down are loose in places and potentially dangerous and would advise care generally when when walking on any slabs. The Himalayan Balsam is a problem also but the fly hatch seemed (from an earlier wash-off visit) to be excellent and the beat itself is rather lovely.

River levels were up from the rivers average level and visibility was not great due to heavy rainfall a few days prior to us fishing. We caught trout and grayling on both nymphs and dry flies. A nice day out. 8 brown trout and 9 grayling caught in total.

We arrived early and found the water high but clearing well. Fished through the beat expectantly but nothing moved. A delicate cast through the upper Rock Pool with a size 8 cascade met with a steady pull near the dangle late morning but I was on tender hooks and perhaps lifted too eagerly, would not take again. Went to Sweets in Usk - just fabulous! Evening raid with renewed enthusiasm after talking with Jean and hearing of 3 landed that day and buying some Usk Grubs but sadly nothing took hold. Many thanks to all as always.

2hrs evening fishing, 4 barbel dropping river to pellet feeder.

4lb Grilse. Fresh.

Brace of 5lb chub to one rod. Other rod blanked. All one small pellets.

River up about 2ft & pretty clear. Fished a few swims & caught from most using h/p & feeder. All fish in superb condtion. We managed to take 7 chub up to 4.5lbs & 5 barbel up to 8.5 lbs, all canoeist were very good & you could tell that they had been made aware of what to look for (lines) and how to behave when anglers are present so thanks to the canoe hire company and as always thanks to Dai and the rest of WUF staff for another day out on the Wye.
