Feedback & Reports

Great day fishing the lower section. A few trout to be seen on lower section of the beat - lost a large fish on a bend under the trees due to the 4 pound leader breaking. Lots of small takes on White mayfly. Great place to escape the bussle of life. Large amount of herons 6-7am when I arrived.
Total caught 4 small browns all returned.

Two brown trout of 1/4 pound each, caught on weighted nympths. Both returned in good condition. Hatch of Caddis around 1pm with some activity just below the surface, though nothing caught.

A lovely day on the river with lots of flylife but a rather dry river. One small brownie caught on a size 14 yellow bodied white wing emerger [apologies, can't remember the name]. Enjoied meeting Jean Williams for the first time [thanks for the chocolate biscuits, Jean]. Only saw 2-3 other rises all day. A better day fishwise yesterday on Upper Grywne Fawr. Again a low river [despite rain the day before] but managed a one and a half pound brownie on a size 16 Red Tag. Some large mayfies about.

Caught 8 brown trout between us, all about 4 - 6 inch tiddlers. Good hatch of a wide variety of flies. Lots of tiny bwo, plenty of mayflies and some of most things in between, including daddy long legs. Very few fish rising and no sign of any fish bigger than the few we caught. Nevertheless, a very enjoyable day on such a beautiful beat. Stayed the night in Park Place guest house, Crickhowell. Comfortable, and excellent breakfast. Very friendly - nothing too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended

Excellent spot but drew a complete blank today. No fish rising, and no takes using nymphs even in the fast flows. Water level low . Couple of fellow fishermen reported to me that they had been there the day before and again no takes.

1 Brown trout 3" approx caught on wet greenwell's - returned.

Georgeous beat.

No fish caught by any of rods. Water slightly coloured from thunderstorms night before. May fly hatch extensive but minimal fish activity. Overall, very few fish apparent.

Water low and clear with a strong downstream wind and some heavy showers. CJK had 2 undersized trout from faster water on a olive nymph and olive quill (wet). JW had 2 undersized fish on an olive nymph.

Beautiful Beat, difficult access in places. River extremely low, no fish even seen, nothing rising or even spotted in deeper pools.

1 brown trout, 1 lb caught on a dry olive, late evening rise, not much else rising.
