Feedback & Reports

Overcast with a brisk, cool downstream wind. River at a much improved height after the recent rain. Fished from 4pm. No significant fly life, so focused on the faster water at the bottom of the beat with a beaded PTN. 2 regular sized WBT. As there was no dign of an evening rise, left around 9pm. Returned at 7am the next day to collect my rod case which I had left in the field!

Fished from 1 pm till 7. My fishing mate A W from Ledbury was gardening so no show!!. went through the ripples to start with using a small nymph ,nothing. Rivers very low, saw a few rising about 5 pm. Very interesting as could see them popping up from tight under the rocks to the surface but not interested in anything i had in my box. Had some liquid refreshment and tried the ripples again with a pop up emerger that done the trick. An enjoyable afternoon.

Fished 15.00 to 19.00. Periods of torrential showers and strong downstream wind probably suppressed surface activity but managed to winkle out a couple of great brown trout by searching riffles and seams with an olive comparadun. Would have stayed later to see if a late evening hatch occurred but weather conditions were unhelpful. Enjoyable session nevertheless.

Got to the beat at about 4 with a strong downstream wind limiting my options thank goodness for a brief rise just before dark managed 6 mostly on a dirty duster not big fish tonight but did loose a cracker not the best conditions but still a favourite stretch of river for me .

River very low and little chance of a salmon but nice to put out a line.
Wild brownies made the day however. 4 lost a 2 missed during the afternoon before an excellent evening rise with lots of fish accumulating just off the quicker water in the Cynrig Pool for the last 90 minutes of the day. Landed 5 (all returned), lost 2 and missed many more. Fabulous quality fish, hard fighting, electic rises and takes. Most coming to a CDC buzzer. A lovely, peaceful and private beat. Looking forward to seeing it again someday when there's water on
