Lovely setting though only caught 1 small eel! Lost what felt a low double barbel after a ten minute fight when I got it close the rocks I was fishing from and the line pinged and broke. Lost another smaller fish from a different swim to a snag. I fished with 2 other anglers and we all lost lots of terminal tackle to snags. Fishing from the larger rock swims in the woods it got to be a feeder a cast lost at one point. A guy fishing 2 swims down found a safer spot with no losses. Quite a lot of rubbish in a few swims and evidence of very recent fires, possibly the night before, which I am guessing is down to locals fishing night sessions?

Four anglers fished had to walk down to river as Farmer was at market but we did get a lift back.
Again most fish taken on pellet and fish caught at varying times of the day.

Really enjoyable day on this stretch with loads of water to explore and the barbel playing ball. Managed 10 fish in the end by wading out in the current touch ledgering. Met the owner who was a really pleasant chap and more than happy to spend a short while chatting. Many thanks.

Nice to be back on Sugwas Court, this is are second trip to this beat. Fishing was hard with bright sun shine and a low clear river, conditions weren't the best. Walked and fished the whole beat trying to locate fish. Managed to catch two 4lb chub and a pristine 6lb barbel. We had a great day, just wish conditions were a little better and we got amongst them.
Many thanks to WUF.

A lovely few hours on the water. As it was an interruption to our family holiday I had to be on my best behaviour and only stay until 1am! It was a shame as there were fish to be caught and quite a few fish sploshing when I tore myself away from the river. I fished the Crewil Pool and had a schoolie on my first cast, fishing a small tube fly. Then as it got really dark I switched to the Jambo and had a lot of interest. Only one fish stuck but it was a cracking 4lber that slammed the fly and gave a brilliant account of itself. I met some members who were very friendly and happy to share local advice - a very positive characteristic of the Llangadog club I have found. Would've loved to have fished through the rest of the night but the family would not have been impressed with me sleeping through a day of our holiday so did the decent thing and left early!
