Another top days barbel fishing! 11 fish, 4 doubles biggest to 11 3/4. Only angler on the water. Try unused swims, you will need to cut your way through bankside vegetation but well worth it!!!!

Very pleasant day with 5 barbel between 3lbs and 8lbs 2oz all caught between 11.00 and 16.00hrs in bright sunshine.

Very nice beat, wading not too bad (although deep and rocky). The water was gin clear and at a nice height. No salmon seen (lots of trout spotted). Shall be back.

Just thought I'd give you a quick report on Cefnyllysgwynne, which I fished yesterday. Had a lovely day, caught 10 grayling to 1lb 6oz, and 6 brownies. Most of the brownies were small, but as the light faded I caught a beauty on the last cast. Just under 16" long, not sure why he took the fly as he spat out a fresh 5" brown during the fight (so correction - 7 brownies!). Cracking fish in a beautiful location - thanks very much. Have been dreaming of a day like this for weeks during all that rain, somehow it actually happened!

Two salmon hooked - both lost. Saw others but they didn't want to play.

Stunning beat, river in beautiful nick having come down and cleared. Weather warm with patchy cloud and some bright sunshine. Some fly life coming off the river but very little evidence of fish on the surface.

2-takes on a Klinkhammer but angler half asleep on both occasions. Plenty of other wildlife including Kingfishers in abundance - perhaps they had the trout!

26 Brown Trout caught and released upto 13inches. Most caught on a size 14 Black snatcher up until early afternoon. Caught the rest on a sz16 black Klinkhamer off the top.

Fantastic days fishing and between 3 of us I think we caught 96 fish. Fish in perfect condition! Lovely place for a days fishing - track down to the lake isnt that bad - could do with a few pot holes filling in but thats all.

Middle Hill Court on the 8th. Fishing rock hard (blanked) again fished pellet. Weather again very hot, tinge of colour and a million canoes. Fished bottom of section, tried different swims (roving) and still biteless. fished 10 to 6.30. Don't think I will bother fishing this stretch again at weekends.

3 brownies, all on para adams size 14, very little fish activity, no hatch between 8.30am and 3.30pm all fish from 'fence end pool'.

What a days fishing. My best mate and myself had the best days fishing ever, we counted up to eleven then stopped counting the barbel which fed all day from dawn to seven thirty when we had to go home [because of the distance back]. Best bait hallibut pellet. The instructions spot on, but we couldnt find the concrete to park on so parked at the side of the river.We have vowed to return soon. A big thanks to the foundation for all their help. Next time we will go bed and breakfast!
