Feedback & Reports

A lovely days fishing on my 1st visit to this beat. Arrived 9am fished until 2pm. Had a good variety of fish on heavy nymphs fished through the deeper sections. Best trout at 1 1/2lb, best grayling slightly smaller. All fish returned safely.

4 Trout, 3 Grayling

I did not catch any grayling but had three trout to approximately 12 ozs. Obviously, these were returned. The beat is absolutely terrific and I would not hesitate to return - for another attempt at grayling or, in season, for trout. The three trout I caught were all in good condition and the average size very good by wild trout standards. I think the Foundation is a great concept and I look forward to trying some other beats.

Only fished for couple of hours in morning. Some fish seen leaping sp. unknown and had couple of small wbt 8-9" on dry fly and couple of solid takes on ghptn not landed but bigger fish.

Wash off. Although not in spate showers had run off the road construction works immediately above beat to Newbridge on Wye making river colour of milky coffee and unfishable. Will be a problem for this beat for a while I expect. Above this river was perfectly clear went to Rhayader Association stretch caught 3 small trout. Not a big stock of fish here. Spoke to local fisherman out for walk with dog said not many fish in river in recent years.

1 Grayling 1lb, 3 Trout best 1lb plus a few smaller fish
