After fishing your stretch of river at Llanstephan and Llangoed I found the coarse fishing beyond bad. Three days without a bite. I have fished all round the country but never fished a river so poorly stocked. I would not recommend this beat to anyone.

Two grayling about 9 inches and one trout 8 inches, all taken on dry fly all fish returned. River very low

1 Trout, 2 Grayling

11 x trout 6-11 inches, 7 x grayling 8-15 inches, fishing dry with a small Grey Duster. A chilly, dark day with a stiff downstream breeze. The upper river is still very low, but - did anybody else notice? There was a quick rise and fall yesterday of about 3 inches, I supposed due to heavy showers somewhere upstream. The water still has a blackish/brown tinge to it although the level has dropped back. A few salmon were showing again - after a long wait they can smell the rain coming!

Fished from 7.30am - 3pm, lots of activity, lots of rises all day but just couldn't hook into anything. Lots of takes on Grey Duster and some sizeable jumping and rising. Surprising really as the second pool produced an otter that sat about 4 feet away from me. Fabulous day even though nothing landed, I will be back!

Arrived midday, no fish rising so went on clink and dink. First fish a good 12 inches, second about 8 inches. A nice beat but water a bit low. Hope to revisit in better conditions.

Overcast with light rain throughout the day. S.Westerly wind. Daddy long legs again proved successful.
Tried to access the Fly Only section beyond the Tower. Impossible in decent fishing gear unless you want to damage it as it's so overgrown. It's a shame that such a great place is so badly maintained.

4 quick fish taken and I mean quick. Fished to an early-ish rise 8.30am, limit taken by 9.15am. All taken on a mepps silver spinner. Weather showery and over cast.

River at its lowest level for the whole year, cooler weather though helping fish.

This beat was very low on water, most parts were unfishable.
Quite a lot of very tiny fish, but no sign of any decent size fish.
Tried a medium sink line first, with some small nymphs and PTN. Sun came out and there was a few rises, so changed to a floating line and dries, still no bites.
A great location, will be even better when there has been a decent amount of rain.

Beautiful stretch, in the morning fished the upper part of the beat. It was very active, lots of fish, all around a 1/1.5 lb. After lunch started on the mid section, first pool but nothing happening - moved down to the crossing point which should have had tons of fish but nothing. Lower section, long deep pools - couple of large fish jumping but did not catch anything. Early evening went up to mid section and this was bubbling from the crossing point up - between the two of us we had approx 30 fish 1/1.5lb. Great sport but no large fish, even after a promise that it had been stocked with 2lb plus fish - overall a lovely day and great sport.
