Feedback & Reports

Unfortunately only 2 very small brown trout were caught which were returned to the river. However a good day.

Very warm day, with zero cloud cover so the fish were easily spooked. Limited fly activity until late in the day when the fish started to respond to sporadic hatches. Hard work, but we were rewarded with some beautiful trout to 14 inches - all returned safely.

First visit to this lovely water and not disappointed. The river was fining down after the weekend's rain and the fish were obliging. 36 wbt were caught between 4 anglers mainly on beaded PTNs fished NZ style and some taken on Iron Blues and Yellow Mays. A beautiful beat with some lovely water, looking forward to the next visit. Thanks to all at WUF.

Weather cold and wet. Access to the water was limited and difficult in most places, down steep banks straight into 4-5 ft of water. There is an open stretch near the bridge (about a mile from the beat entrance), with easy access.

WUF note: Access, several new steps and beat maintenance work is planned for this beat within the next 10-14 days.

Caught on wet fly, all returned.

1ft on the Brecon gauge but seemed quite lot of water coming through and slightly coloured. Fished evening ticket from 5-8pm and greeted with some sporadic rising fish in the light breeze. Covered carefully (large Grey Wulff) they all took freely. Any clumsy moves soon spooked them.
Very pleasant evening after all the recent rain but not that warm. 5 trout 8-12inches. Largest taken. All went very quiet soon after 7pm.

River quite high and coloured. Our first visit to the beat. We found the beat details lacking, no pool names on the map and few marked `getting in` places; however the water looked promising despite the colour. We caught eleven trout including one of 1.5lbs, and two of 1.25lbs. The rest were between 0.75lbs and 1lb. We lost at least as many fish as we caught. 50/50 dry fly and nymph. Altogether an enjoyable day's sport.

An hour's fishing in the evening - booked in the expectation of a warm summer's evening... well it only rained for half the time and the river had just about fined down to be fishable. 4 good sized fish in 5 mins from the top to a size 16 bead head PTN around 8pm. Lots of flies around the bank / field. On the right day, this must offer cracking sport.
(On a separate note, there seemed to be a lot of an invasive plant (the reddish stemmed one) along the length of the beat and creeping into the corn field).

A hot sunny day and a beat with little cover had me struggling. Not helped by having to return to yesterdays beat to retrieve my fly box from the riverbank (I was tired!). I started late morning. Just a trickle of Olives and a couple of Yellows. Not a rise seen in five hours. Disappointed with myself for probably fishing the wrong time of day for the weather conditions? An awkward nil return!
