Any news from the river?

Hi all

I'm thinking of going down for a few days near the end of the month and I wondered if anyone had heard of any catches? I'll be going down regardless anyway because I'll be heading over to Skomer for at least 1 day but it would be nice to know of any catches or fish seen.

The river has changed again this year!


Hi all, I spent 3 nights on the river last week and really enjoyed myself. The weather was lovely and the temperatures held up quite well. I got a 2lb sewin and I saw a couple of fish move but that was all. I didn't really expect to get anything so the fish I got was a bonus. I saw only 2 anglers on the river! One of them evaded me by shooting off quickly as i approached Crewel Pool and the other was Andrew from Merthyr. He said that he'd had a 9lb sewin on the Llandeilo water a couple of weeks ago.

I took a few pictures so that you could see what the river is like now. The big changes are down the bottom, especially my pool and below it too.


The concrete dump remains!

What seems like a potential new pool for us just below Andy's Pool


The new pool?


Andy's Pool - better or worse than before? The jury's out on that one!
