Beautiful weather, breathtaking scenery, superb top water fishing in crystal clear water. 6 rainbow trout taken from 1.5lbs to 2.5lbs. Fish taken on a floating line with black and peacock spiders on the cast. A really great day out.

No salmon seen on the top beat but hooked a lovely brown trout around the 3 pound mark. Saw a couple of salmon move in Llangoed pool.

Two very good grayling over 2lb on dry. Most fish on nymph, very little rising all day. Excellent day thank you.

9 Trout, 4 Grayling

Only fished for couple of hours. Very overgrown as states in book. Trout to 1 1/2 pound and lost a belting chub which by seeing it at the surface was between 2 and 3 pounds.

5 Trout

Steady trickle of fly coming off on a very hot day but little surface interest although did rise a few. Fish to hand all of modest size and the usual number of on and offs and long range catch and release.

Very little seen until the very end of the day when trout rose as the sun really begun to set. Fished the top pool and persuaded three to take a hares ear fished in the surface film, the best being a bit over two pounds. Saw a couple of considerably larger fish make a brief appearance almost on dark.

Fished with the excellent guide/instructor Chris Price and caught the vast majority of 12 trout on the trusted New Zealand style, although thankfully did manage to convince a couple to take small emerger dries. Rising trout few and far between though. Finished the day with a fine trout of about two and a half pounds on a PT gold head in the pool below the bridge.

River coloured even in bright sun, visibility less than one foot. Spun with bright yellow and orange lures for 4 hours, the max time my back can take. Maybe next visit will be fly in lower clearer water which I can do all day. Any fish had their heads down.

Tough day, sunny and water was a bit high but clear. Fished 10am - 8pm. No hatch to speak of and no action in the white water either. Left a bit disappointed. Well worth another visit though as the beat is very inviting, with varied and interesting features. No doubt holds many (elusive) trout.
