Feedback & Reports

Tough but enjoyable day, fished various nymphs through all the deep runs off fast water, all the little nooks and crannies along the bank, but no joy, not a single rise seen all day, access to some of the pools difficult as banks are high, but wading relatively easy as no real flow.

Very bright hot day, low water. Very few fish showing on the surface. Hatches also rather limited.

Great to be fishing this beat again. Fished for most of the day and into the evening about 11am to 7pm but with a decent break for much needed refreshment in Brecon! Mostly fished nymphs, down and across or New Zealand style especially on the bottom section. Tried a few dry flies as well.

2 WBT taken on weighted nymphs New Zealand style. A couple of others missed or lost as well. A good enough day and just lovely to be out fishing with a view of the mountains.

No fishing. After 20 mm rain the Honddu stream went very murky en after mixing whole Usk at Dinas was as murky with less than 10 inch visibility.
We’d like to change our permits for another upstream beat iUsk is still clear on monday.

Evening: a fair number of olive spinners around, but only dimpling rises (to what?), until nearly 10pm when the fish appeared to lose their caution and I got 5 in quick succession on Jingler and Elk-hair Caddis, including three good fish of 16 inches (1.75 lbs) each

The water level was very low and a chilly wind was blowing upstream. I caught one trout on a dry fly and one on a wet fly. Hardly no activities between 1.30 pm and 5 pm.

Great days fishing .20 fish caught mostly on nymphs with a few on dry flys.The road by gate has large pot holes which makes it difficult to get up the hill.

Two of us enjoyed a day euronumphing with our lightweight 10ft rods. A welcome change to fish a nice, open, accessible beat after previous battles with overgrown wild streams. My buddy, who a much more competent river fisherman, netted 6 but I managed to beat my previous personal best for a river trout with a fine fish of about 1lb. Not quite a match for the 1.5 - 2lb monster my friend caught but still something of a result.
