Feedback & Reports

Really struggled today, no fish caught, a very sparse and short lived hatch of olives about 1pm but no fish responded.

River high but clear and very cold. No hatch. Nymphed all day for a trout and a grayling.

Problem with the booking as no beat map or directions sent. Wasted half the day trying to find the water and not certain we were in the right place when we started fishing. No one available for phone contact in the office at weekends. Fishing good when we got started. Grayling rising for a couple of hours early afternoon and 3 caught on Griffiths Gnat. 4 grayling and a 1.5 lbs trout taken on tungsten nymphs late afternoon. Grayling 10ins to 14 ins.

WUF Note: We apologise for the technical problem with the order confirmation and are looking into the issue.

River in flood. Very high and fast.

Very disappointed as the map of the beat that showed a footpath down the entire length of the beat did not represent reality at all, it was a heavily wooded beat for 100%, and with the river as high as it was we tried to access the river from both parking spots, gave up and went fishing at Builth Town for a tenner !!!

This beat description needs to highlight that it runs through woodland and the only way to access this beat is by wading when the river is 1metre or lower

WUF note: Thank you for the feedback, we will look into the access at Doldowlod and review the maps where necessary.

Fish taken on nymphs at the bottom of the beat at the start of the day. Over night rain started to colour the water and the fish went off the feed. Got to try out a new nymphing rod with different leader set ups so it wasn't a wasted day.

Made welcome by house near sawmill and pointed in right direction . Quite tricky wading though very beautiful on this bright November day. Excellent lunch eagles pub in Rhayader and mesmerising visit to red kite feeding station.
