River was blasting through chocolate coloured with trees and other stuff hurtling past after heavy rain. Well up so not ideal conditions but despite this over 2 days we landed 10 barbel to around 9lb and 3 chub to about 5lb, all fell to pellet. Stepped up gear (rod and weights) definitely necessary to combat the powerful flow when its like this. Access to the top end, whilst not easy, is worth the effort but parking is a bit of a pain. Doesn't matter though, its better than a good day in the office!

We got there early before light. The river was 2metres in flood. We knew it was going to be a challenging day. We stuck it out until dark fell. We were rewarded with some barbel for our efforts. Thank you WUF.

Fished the lower part of the beat from 10am to Midday, river was up and quite coloured, this resulted in one Barbel 9lb. Moved upstream in the afternoon and caught a further 7 Barbel. Great day on a wonderful beat, thank you WUF.

A beautiful sunny afternoon but found the river high and coloured. Managed 3 chub : 1lb, 3lbs and 4.5lbs using bread and luncheon meat.

River running high and coloured, but managed to eventually find some fish. 5 barbel upto 8lbs and 4 chub to 4lb. Caught on a mixture of pellets and boilies.

River too high and coloured so David at the Foundation was very helpful and booked me onto the Craig Llyn beat higher up.

River up and pushing through after heavy rain. Fished a variety of swims, struggled in some but caught in others. A total of 8 barbel between us up to about 8lb taken on a variety of pellets. Other baits tried but no takes. Why only one car allowed in the parking area nearest the steps? Easily enough room for two without blocking access to the cottage. 63 steps plus the walk up the hill to the other parking area with all the gear is not for the faint hearted.

Further rain during the night for 4hrs didn't really effect the height of the river. Conditions were ideal, but nothing much came along until lunch time. 3 barbel were caught 5lbs 7lbs 6oz and 7lbs 12oz and one lost plus a few chub. The rain returned at 4pm and kept pouring until we left at 6.45pm. The swims were very slippery, so please take care. I think the frost and unsettled conditions are not conducive towards ideal fishing conditions.

Washed off on Friday, rebooked for Sunday 7th. Water clear bt still high. NIL Salmon caught or seen.(Overgrown difficult access to to the top of the beat.)
