Had a lovely day on the river, very cold day but deadbaits produced a few nice pike to mid doubles, wonderful surroundings and a really nice peaceful day on the river, thanks.

2 x Grayling, 1 - 1.5 lbs.

Blank day unfortunately, but good access to water and an enjoyable day - will be back!

10lb pike caught on a dead pollan.

I fished the lower limit of this beat in the Rock Pool area and focused my efforts on catching a pike. The river conditions were good and I was hopeful of a few fish but only managed 1 pike of approx 5-6Lb.
The countryside here is stunning and I would definately return again and a real plus point was the ease of access as parking just a 50yd walk from the river.

After a fair walk down to the fishery we arrived at a long picturesque stretch of river with plenty of choice of accessible pegs. Often the deep water is on the near bank which avoids the need for long casts. It was a cold day, the overnight frost hanging on well into the morning and although I caught chub right from the start, the pike were on the rampage and I lost three hooklengths to the voracious predators chasing the fish and bait.
We both moved, George well downstream to a great looking glide ending under a big tree where he landed 5 good sized chub. I moved back to the weir pool and caught another 5 chub on bread flake.
A pleasant day's fishing in lovely surroundings which will be a must for barbel in the summer.

A great but chilly day at Cefnllysgwynne, with 13 fish to the net(consisting of ten grayling and three trout) and with a couple of missed takes. Ten of these fish fell to nymphs, with two even opting to rise for a dry. Fantastic!
Mostly all small fish pushing the 11" barrier but with one grayling weighing in at just under 1.5lb.

What a beautiful beat! Arrived early to get a full days fishing in and we were not dissappointed. 9 Good sized graying to 15" and 3 hard fighting brownies. We had to work hard for them in the ice cold water, but it was worth it. All fish taken on heavy beaded bugs bounced across the bottom. We also got a fleeting visit from an otter!!! Thank you for a great day.

River lower and clearer than previous visits. Fished beats 3+4 with maggot meat and cheese paste. NR took 1 chub from beat 4 while I manged 1 chub late in the afternoon from beat 3 to save the blank.

A cold day with a mixture of cloud and winter sunshine. Water levels well down and very little colour. Approx 10 grayling and 1 brownie all caught czech nymphing. Half the fish were graylets but the other half all just over the pound mark. Caught fish from 3 areas. Bend just above the church, deeper pool just above weir and the pool a little further upstream just above the rapids.
