Fish this stretch along with Cefn Rhosan Fawr, which is the other bank. Beautiful fishing throughout it's length. The top section of this beat is truly stunning but difficult fishing. We caught 3 trout up to a pound, all returned.

Used worm and spinner, water was a bit choppy at the time of catches. Really enjoyed my first time up there and definitely be coming again. Thank you!

Arrived lunchtime and fished from Cefn Coed up to Pont Sarnarn. Hot and sunny, low flow in the river. Small fish spotted and some bigger ones in inaccessible spots. Nothing rising but persevered with dry fly and mid afternoon found a pod of risers. Caught 3, biggest 10 inches on something small and black. Lovely day in beautiful surroundings. Note: Poentsarn inn pub has been closed for some time and a hot walk in waders to the red cow in Pontiscill. First time using online booking and found it very easy.

7 small trout all caught on dry fly. In contrast to previous visits at this time of year when vast numbers were evident, I did not see a single up-winged fly. I hope this is not indicative of a serious problem.

A hot sunny day and a beat with little cover had me struggling. Not helped by having to return to yesterdays beat to retrieve my fly box from the riverbank (I was tired!). I started late morning. Just a trickle of Olives and a couple of Yellows. Not a rise seen in five hours. Disappointed with myself for probably fishing the wrong time of day for the weather conditions? An awkward nil return!

Bright and sunny afternoon, fished upstream of caravan sight as access to stream at confluence was rather tricky.
Saw only one fish rise despite abundant fly life including a steady trickle of Mayfly. Caught two wbt to weighted gold headed ptn the smallest of which was only four times bigger than the hook.
Access to the top half of the fishery was almost impossible due to the presence of large fallen trees and very deep water.

A lovely day to be out but not a fish seen or caught. No hatch to speak of but the odd mayfly rising and some LDO too.
There has been some pretty drastic work around the island halfway up the beat and a job has scoured the bottom of the river bed around that area - whether or not this had any effect on the fish or not I can't say...
Will definitely go back - it looks very fishy indeed!

Warm and sunny evening a few fish rising. Caught one wbt at 8 inches on gold headed ptn. Changed to dry Mayfly and caught a further 6 inch wbt and an 8 inch grayling.

A short but enjoyable return to this beat though it seems to have even more thin connecting water than I remembered and the wretched sycamore is rampant in places. Two small early fish on nymph encouraged optimism but then, trawling a promising, short pot of a pool, I connected with a good fish that flashed a foot or more down, jagged about sharply and sent the hook flying back.
Two further losses to the only risers I spotted, which both came to the nymph quietly, was demoralising and bar a solitary Brook Dun which settled on me and a few Mayfly Duns on the wing there wasn't much to bring fish up. Finally hung onto a pretty, red-speckled 11-ouncer after it leapt three times, and before long found I had already waded and wobbled my way to the top of the beat. A bit of careful pruning would open this stretch nicely.

Very bright sunny/warm day -- too bright. Fished morning and evening to miss bulk of sun. No fish seen. Good to be back fishing at this lovely stretch.
