Feedback & Reports

Warm, mainly sunny day, light northerly breeze. Water clear, averaging knee deep. Nice stretch of river, upper section easier to access (more shingle/gravel banks). Medium olive dun in afternoon with occasional rises throughout the day mainly subsurface feeders, although two leapt more than their body length clear of the surface. Caught two trout, both returned: 1 on a gold head nymph - a good 1 1/2 lbs, lovely markings. the second smaller than the first but 1 lb + caught on a adult peacock body buzzer. Hard work but a good day.

Very low water, nil caught.

Unsettled weather, sunny in the morning, followed by mostly cloudy afternoon with shower in the evening. Started fishing with EHC plus small BH nymph as a dropper. Despite the warm sunshine, almost no fish rising in the morning. Did not get any reaction by casting upstream. Fish were not been active before late evening, when rising increased significantly around 8pm. Caught a small brownie at the end. I fished this beat last September and caught more than ten nice brownies. Maybe it is not a good season for the fishing. Lovely beat, that I will back on this autumn.

5 Browns, 0.5lb to 1lb. Very sunny, very hot and hard going but great stretch of water.

A few fish rising on arrival around midday, river in good condition. Caught on goldhead PTN. All fish caught were small, a larger fish hooked briefly. Rose several fish on CDC olive but didn't connect.

Hot sunny day which killed the fishing really. Sporadic, infrequent rises with only a few small trout taken on dries. Superb section of the river though and will definitely return. Thanks to WUF for making all of this possible.

Another very bright and warm day so fished afternoon and evening. 4 trout to bead head nymphs in deep fast water in the afternoon. A good rise after 9pm when 5 fish to 12/13" were caught on size 18 olive dries, plus a similar number came adrift. Fish seemed to be taking olive duns. River quite low and clear.

River at a nice height and running clear. Sun and cloud. Sultry; air temperature up to mid twenties. Water temperature 16C (14C in Cynrig). Fished dry Adams from Cynrig upstream to top of beat, followed by copper head GRHE and Woolly Bugger across and downstream from top of beat to Cynrig. Very poor hatch and few fish rising.
Caught 12 trout but only one over half a pound (1lb 1oz}. This was probably a stockie from another beat as it had spots of blue dye on its gill covers.
Thanks to my fellow rod for a nice cup of tea and a pleasant chat!
