Feedback & Reports

Arrived with another angler on the water from Merthyr Tydfil angling club stating they had told him that this stretch was available to fish?
Plenty of fly life but being broken twice and losing my 3rd Mayfly to a tree made matching the hatch difficult! Plenty of fly life about with a decent number of mays being taken by rising trout as the evening progressed.
Met with a big dog otter at last knockings.

Fishing Passport Note : Glan y Cafn is a private fishery and only available to Fishing Passport day tickets

Nice day some rain ,wind cloudy,no fish plenty of rising but nothing on my fly rod
Tight lines .M.

Not impressed. This was booked due to the description being described as good for easy access !
I do wonder if the Wye and Usk staff have ever been there !!!
The access is down broken stone steps and mud , with a broken hand rail etc .
This takes you down to the area that is a small channel by the back of the island , then let’s talk about the wading to access any other part of the beat … one word …. Lethal
It is NOT gravel it is large boulders and deep MUD in the margins . I am a confident wader but gave up on the end.
What an absolute waste of £40 … never even set a rod up !

The fish were about 25 cm long the water was to high and it was impossible to wade in many places but the weatcher was nice and a beautiful section of the river i will definitely come back here

River about 18" higher than ideal, makes this beat impossible to cross given that it's double bank. Not one to fish until the levels have dropped for sure.
