4 trout. Fished from 8.00 pm to 9.30pm. A quick move here from the Senni paid off. Flow very low, plenty of refusals and boils under dry adams in still pools. Best fish 14 inch rest 7 - 9 inch. Lots of tiny salmon parr about trying to drown the fly!

Went up for an evening fish, arrived 6.30 pm. Very cloudy & quite windy. Pools almost stagnant. Spooked a few fish but none seemed big. Salmon parr everywhere, pecking at dry flies. Landed just one 6 inch trout. Moved on to Crai after an hour, knowing there are more and bigger fish there.

The river was quite clear and fairly low, we fished under bushes in the eddies with a ground bait feeder and luncheon meat. We were told by everyone that we should go for long hook lengths as it was going to be tough going but had no luck so shortened eventually down to 1 foot and all fish fell to this rig. Fish sizes - barbel 5lb 9oz, 6lb and 10lb 3oz, Chub 3lb.

Missed 3 in the first 10 minutes then nothing. Still a fantastic day up at a stunning venue.

1st attempt of fishing with my 7 year old son. Unfortunately caught no fish, better luck next time. We enjoyed it though.

Nice fish for a few hours, but only par rising. The middle section is now over run with ranunculus leaving very little fishing water.

Found directions very good, although missed the entrance first time. Map supplied was very detailed and helpful considering this was my first river outing. Some good fish showing at Bathing Pool and Armies Pool but was down stream of these fish.
Caught two beautifully marked Browns - 8" long on DT8 floating line - Pheasant Hothead/Teal Blue and Silver. Good takes and hard fighters for their size. Look forward to returning for another great day out.

River running very low and best swims were those with flow and good weed growth. Rolling meat proved effective and it was great fun wading out to fish this method. A hot day with a lot of canoe traffic and swimmers.

Fished 6am to 10 am - Tenkara again - but should have taken fly rod. Ended up fishing small nymph under a coch y bhonddu. Lost a good grayling, then had a 6" trout. Next pool had a good trout leap out the water trying to grab fly as I was lifting off water. A few casts later had 11" trout on the nymph and then in the same pool a lovely 12" grayling on the fly.
Saw at least 5 mink - 2 adults and 3 kits. Saw adults several times - just hope it was same ones. Do WUF trap these blighters?
