Clear water around 1ft on Llanstephan gauge and rising in rainy and windy day. 1 Kelt from Vanstone, fresh fish circa 12lbs leaping in the same pool but no take on fly, tried spinner and landed 2 (12 and 20lbs est) pike instead. A few trout and 2 fat chub from the upper part but no salmon caught or seen there. Cracking beat, can’t wait for another visit here. Thank you.

Blank. Just one of those days when the river appeared to be lifeless with nothing showing at all. Next time...

Raining hard, river rising and brown. Caught 2 small brownies on wet fly in 2 casts, then nothing else all day.

Weather awful so I never made it there unfortunately.

No fish caught. A very cold April day with no flies hatching and no fish seen.

Fished for 2 hours after JP had left. He had done well in the Wood Stream, 4 to 1.5lbs on spiders. I caught all my fish at Rocks and especially at Upper Rocks on Waterhen Bloas. Lost count, 7-8 salmon smolts and parr and brownies to just under 1lb.

Nice day, fishing was good. River at nice hight, water clear. About 13-30hrs to 14-30hrs fish started to rise. Two brown trout caught. All fish over 10oz. Very nice day. All on dry fly.

Had a cracking day on this lovely beat. Conditions were far from perfect with a strong downstream wind blowing at times. When this dropped down and the sun shone this normally triggered a hatch of LDO. The fish seemed switched onto these much more than any other fly and it's not surprising given the amount that was coming off. I caught between 20 and 30 fish all on a size 14 Adams Parachute apart from three caught on a GRHE with an orange butt(duo). The best fish went to about 1 3/4 lb. The hatches stopped around 4pm along with the best of the fishing.
Anyone looking for an easier wading option than some of the more bedrock type beats should give this one a go. Although I did manage to get a soaking due to my own stupidity.

Early morning start and by midday with nothing showing was beginning to think it was going to be another normal fishless day. Then - just as my mate popped down on a quick visit a fish takes (red flying c). Had to hang on and let it take line for a while. Eventually the fish tires and then we realised that it would not fit into my 24 inch Gye net. My mate jumped in and managed to lift the fish out. 40 inches of mighty Wye springer with a real deep body. Later in the day (7.30pm) another take and another big fish is on. It was certainly a similar size to the first (if not bigger). Could not beleive it when after about 10 minutes the hook pulls out - talk about being gutted. Thanks to AT who was also fishing the beat for standing by with the net. Hope you connect with something similar on your next visit.

0 fish - water was very low.
