Feedback & Reports

Lovely evening. Lots of small fish jumping / feeding on hatch. Zero interest in my flies.

A good four hours exploring the pools. A few missed takes on a dry dropper set up. Very quiet on the water. A few very small fish seen feeding towards the end.

1 brown 6 inches long which I returned.

I started at the lower bridge around 6 pm and worked my way up, it was windy and dry to start with and became clear and still towards the end. Water was relatively low as it has been a dry period. It is a relatively small river and only a couple of places which are worth fishing as the rest is surrounded by trees which makes casting nearly impossible. About 1.5km up from the second bridge there was a reasonable clearing with a flat still section probably 1m deep and about 20m gap in the trees. It was almost dusk and tiny brown trout were smashing flies on the surface. This is where I caught the small brown trout on a hand tied buzzer that I inherited from my grandad. The trout looked healthy but far too small to keep so I returned it carefully, I then stumbled back through through the tussock filled field in almost darkness to Cae Gwyn campsite where I am staying. Overall a pleasant little adventure.

I am staying at cae

WUF comment: This is a salmon smolt on its way down the river.

Lovely couple of hours in the evening. Few trout to hand on Dry Fly. Beautiful views of the Rhinogau and the sunset. Special place
