Feedback & Reports

Booked a couple of evening tickets on this excellent beat. We arrived at 6pm but with only the occasional rising fish, decided to concentrate on the faster water. We had a few small browns and some salmon parr on nymphs but nothing substantial. Fish started to rise in the slower sections after 9pm and we had an hour or so of decent dry fly action to finish with. None of the trout caught were over half a pound but there were definitely bigger ones there. All the fish caught off the top fell to cdc emerger patterns and Adams.

I knew it was going to be a tough day with high bright skies but I wanted to get out for the day anyway. Missed two fish and other wise slow yet beautiful scenery and a good day out. Nice size salmon jumped in the pool below the bridge.

Sunny and warm late afternoon and evening and river running clear. Infrequent rises until the evening rise. 3 small wbt caught on a dry emerger pattern.

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.
