Feedback & Reports

All fish caught on dry fly, hopper and red quill. River very low and clear and a very bright sunlight so quite difficult but still fish rising though several takes missed. Familiar with the beat but haven't fished it for years, pleasantly surprised by the number of fish moving. Its a fabulous stretch of river well maintained.

Great day on my favourite beat. Most fish taken on French leader fished early on then about 4 /5 taken on dries as small caddis hatched around lunch time. Fishing dried up about 4pm as temp started to drop. Great day on a great beat.

Stunning place; water low and clear. I started at the bottom of the beat and caught a small grayling and 2 small trout on a para adams. Fishing klink n dink in a deep run below some boulders I caught 2 trout of about 0.5kg both taking the klinkhamer and a large grayling of around 0.75kg on a #16 beadhead PTN. A grayling of similar size followed, from a similar run. I switched to dead drifting nymphs (olive and natural GRHE) to fish a deep channel below a run and was rewarded with a grayling of more than 1kg - easily the biggest I've caught. I'll definitely be going back!

A beautiful day with perfect conditions on this stunning beat. Great fly water and excellent access throughout with a good combination of named salmon pools and shallow gravel glides fro trout and grayling. No sign of any salmon but some good fun in the evening for trout.

Very warm day. Low clear water. All grayling taken by French Nymphing and all Browns on dry fly. Two big fish to note, a Grayling at 20 inches and a brown of 19 inches.

Small brown trout, size varying from about 7 to 9 inches, taken on terrestrial (black spider) sitting on top of water under shade of trees around mid-afternoon and early evening (bright sunny day). A good day's fishing on very nice stretch of river.

Perfect day, water clear, arrived about noon, no fish rising or seen even with an abundance of fly life including a scattering of big mayflies. Wandered the beats most likely spots for three hours trying to tempt a fish on drys, complete blank! Hoped for some movement or a rise later in the day, still nothing! Didn't even see a fish, most odd? Tried drys, nymphs, emptied my fly box still nought? Finally at about 7 pm and completely baffled I had a break to reflect, the only fly I had not tried was a tiny Diawl Bach.
Welsh fly, Welsh water give it a try?
Second cast and a 15/16" beautiful WBT, a few casts later a 12" grayling (my first ever) all on a 7ft #3 both fish healthy and fighting fit. Returned both safely.
My day went from pathetic to perfect!
