Feedback & Reports

Back for a second day and similar to Monday but took a siesta when the fishing went quiet in the afternoon. Similar mix of chub to yesterday and a better barbel at 6-6. Chub not in great condition yet but barbel looked good.
Love this place.
No swim cutting done, a machete would have been handy! Lock on gate was broken when I arrived.

1 Barbel, 13 Chub

River clearing and falling after a weekend of heavy rain in the Beacons.
Clear skies and sunshine (beginnings of the heatwave !)

Water very low. High pressure and 24C. Fishing very hard. Trout very wary and no rise.

Conditions looked perfect - 1 ft 3 in and clearing water, not too hot - but no sightings of salmon. The odd trout, some with freshwater lice

First time reccie here and fished initially upstream of the foot bridge below Vaynor curch. Great parking here btw and decent path down from the left side of the church.
Went upstream from the footbridge (half/three quarter mile?) , hard work with the wading for sure and your really socked in.
Not many decent runs found tbh but moved a few on a foam beetle. Too fast for me though on the rise!
Found out late in the day that a footpath runs from the footbridge downstream a long ways on the left bank of the river going downstream.!
Ambled down to the viaduct before leaving, some much better runs and pools for sure but some bushwacking still to get on them!
Give those a go another day.
A really lovely valley up there for sure. You'd never guess that the busyness of Merthyr is just down the road.
