The previous day had been spent on the middle Usk with a salmon hooked and lost early on. This visit to Taybont was a response to the fairly thick look of the river at Glangrwyney after breakfast (though one Crickhowell member was fishing the fly there). The lake looked good from the road with a steady to fresh wind coming up from the dam end under good cloud cover. Despite a modest succession of fish raised, pricked, hooked and lost - to dries or a small hackled middle dropper - finally all went well with a handsome cock fish net weighed at 2lb 11oz. It was worth the BH traffic home. On its day what a place.

Couple of hours late afternoon with Tenkara rod - fished only from the bridge to the weir. No sight nor sound of anything.Came across a dead pike in the shallows. Not a monster - but unexpected in the Arrow.The fallen big willow which was blocking the river just up from the bridge has been completely cleared.

Arrived at about 4pm for an evening session with my daughter for her first river Wye trip, nice beat and looked in good nick. Couldn't get two of us on the preferred faster water in a peg so settled on a wide peg opposite the big houses with the annoying dog. Fished 3 hrs with only one bite which powered off down river and somehow shed the hook. Disappointing for me and gracie but would make an earlier start the next day in hope of catching a few. Plenty to go at here so will return.

Pretty stretch of river & a fair amount of fence climbing & nettle bashing with my wading stick to access some stretches; I think I needed a little more stealth on the day. Spent a lot of time standing in the water changing flies/leaders trying to find the magic pattern to attract the bigger trout. A lot of tiny ??dace & salmon parr taking the smaller offerings. Did manage one decent trout in the end. Had the company of a herd of very sociable bullocks on & off throughout the day. Wonderful day thank you.

Methods used... sliding ledger & Bubble float with worm.
Every effort was made by myself & my fellow angler to remove our litter from the site, but there weren't any waste bins near by or in the plcnic area.
