Didn’t fish. Went to fish Pond Rhosrydd because we were visiting area in a motorhome and Google Earth indicated there was a decent road to it and suitable parking by it. When we got there we found anglers are prevented from using the decent road and the track open to anglers appeared totally unsuitable for anything larger than a car or small van. Couldn’t risk the access and nowhere to park and walk in so turned around and went back to our campsite. Very disappointing.

Very hot day but ended up with a couple of barbel and some chub

Very poor no bites water very low

Black parachute fly on 7.5’ leader. Good conditions on the water. Too many kids swimming for most of the stretch so limited area to fish

River very low and clear. Fished 6am till midday. 6am to 9am 1 x barbel on 14mm crab pellet. 9am till midday 12 x chub 3-5lb on bread flake, great fun. Could have continued to catch but it got too hot so legged it for a pint.

Fishing on a really hot day always has it challenges, sometimes it can be productive but today proved to be a difficult one . The river was extremely low and I knew I had my work cut out . I expected a no show from the barbel but expected a lot more chub . This beat is a very prolific stretch, it will always produce the goods , but conditions weren’t great . I do regret booking on such a hot day , I should’ve known better. Still not a blank but a tough day ! A visit from our slippery friend Anguilla was welcome for a change

HL3 NEVER EVER DISSAPOINTS even in a heatwave and a very low river. OK only 1 barbel today but I only fished for them on a feeder for the 1st hour before the sun came out. The barbel must be outnumbered by 100 to 1 so out went the float and it was crazy fishing until I'd had enough by 11am. BUT quite a few chub had some sort of parasite / leeches which I removed and the river had a strange brown sediment which covered the stones in the margin and my landing net which I only used on the barbel. All the chub were unhooked in the water and swam off strongly after holding them in the current for a few seconds to recover. Interesting to hear from one canoeist that had hadn't seen any significant weed as he went by!! Cheers WUF
PS other Dace.
