Combination lock on third gate didn't open with the code that was given in the pdf.
Left my car just outside the gate which was fine as there was room for one car.
Great day, although fishing still a bit slow.
WUF Note : We've had no other reports of there being a problem with the combination lock but we will be investigating.

Varied weather today, with mixed sunshine, rain and hail. The river was very full from heavy rains the day before. Caught one on a nymph.

River running clear but very windy. A few small LDO hatched at around 11. Four fish on nymphs Hares Ear and Olive. One on a Klinkhammer.

Fished the beat a few days earlier, although no fish that day. This day was much warmer and brighter, river a little low but looked in good shape. The expected hatches did not happen, or at least nowhere around where I was fishing! Did not see a fish rise all day and in early afternoon changed to nymph, using a tungsten beaded fly had a knock first cast, which was encouraging. Over the next hour had three WBT all around 1lb, one slightly larger.
All caught on the north side of the bridge at the end of short runs. The day was very pleasant and sunny, which was a contrast to previous time. This is a lovely, well maintained beat and has good features its entire length, will be back when it is a bit warmer. Thanks you to the Foundation, the booking system is second to none.

I was using nymphs and dry fly. I did not see any fish rising and was fishing from eleven o'clock until three.

A bit cold and overcast but river in good condition. Not much happening, one hatch all day and nothing rising. Tried various methods but alas no fish. Nice beat and easy parking. Have booked again for later this week so will see what happens.

River low and clear, weather partially sunny, no wind. A few trout showing to a small number of olives hatching through the morning and early afternoon. Caught two good trout on nymphs both in the shallows on the inner part of a bend.

First time on the beat for me. Bitterly cold but brightening and warming up later in the day. Water level was low - the gauge a Brecon was at 0.31m. Not much activity from the fish or insect life.
Managed small 2 WBT on GRHEs both returned safely. One, about 100m up from the road bridge and one about the same distance below it.
Amazed to see dog walkers on the opposite bank letting their dogs run off the leash in a field full of sheep - it takes all sorts!! Luckily for the dogs the farmer and his gun were nowhere around.
Able to make use of the on-site parking arrangements as it was a dry day, which I have to say was very useful. It was good to get out on the river but could do with a bit more water - and if someone could turn the cold wind off that would be appreciated please.
Tight Lines.

Nil catch. Cold and dull.

Cold and windy day with no hatches or flys seen. River very clear. One very healthy 1lb brown trout landed on a small copper beaded hare's ear nymph fished deep just upstream of the road bridge. One other fish hooked but not landed on a PTN.
Two Cormorants and one Goosander spotted on the stretch throughout the day.
