Feedback & Reports

1 x grayling 13 inches, 7 x out of season trout 8-12 inches, leaded wet flies and bugs. We struggled to find the grayling I'm afraid, although what looked like post-spawning trout were very much in evidence. Nothing really wrong with the water or conditions. One coloured salmon showing.

One grayling and one trout caught on heavy nymph. River high so only possible to fish the calmer runs. Little wind a bright sun made for a pleasant day on the water. Thank you WUF.

Found the river at just about a fishable level after the recent high water but quite cold. Fished weighted nymphs all day and caught just three small WBT for our efforts. It was NB's first session with upstream nymphs and he hooked and missed several.

High water level and slightly coloured. managed to catch a couple of Grayling about 1/2 lb between us.

River levels too high after recent heavy rain. Even though the level had fallen during the day, no signs of fish anywhere on the beat.

Heavy overnight rain had caused the Clettwr to colour up the lodge side of the river, reducing visibility to about 6 inches in the water. There was also a heavy leaf fall and the occasional branch coming downstream as well. I gave it a go but with no joy. Beautiful spot though.

Another good day on this beat, even though the river was up after the recent rain and carrying a touch of colour. The fish (all returned) are still taking dry flies as long as the weather remains warm. The grayling didn't put in much of a show but the trout were willing. Nothing of great size - up to 12" but still fighting fit and good sport. The morning was somewhat spoilt by the appearance of canoes - I didn't think they were allowed above Hay, whatever the level?

A rainy morning, a few salmon seen coming in the Green Bank, one pull. In the afternoon, brown water from the Clettwr, a 3.5lb seatrout fell to a size 8 "Evie"

Lovely autumn day with little wind and bright sun. Next to no flies hatching. Nevertheless the grayling were looking up from time to time as most were caught on the surface - size 16 F fly and small klink being successful. Some takes to the nymph also. All grayling over 1lb with the best certainly over 2 and measured at 45cm. 9 fish to hand (plus a salmon parr) and a few more long range catch and release. Easy parking, easy access, easy wading and glorious scenery. What more can you ask for?
