Not a sausage. Plenty of grannom coming off but did not see a single fish anywhere.

River too high to fish after heavy overnight rain.

decent couple of hours. One caught, couple missed. Deeper pools more likely with fish not rising to the hatches

The Tarrell was up a little after recent rain. A nice change, its been a very poor season indeed for this stream and others in the area. 3 small fish using the duo method at lunch break with a couple missed.

Challenging beat if you try to do the whole length thing, lots of fallen trees to pass about 1/3 way in and there's no escaping! Water was low and some colour following rain earlier. Several rises but only netted one.

Not well but tried to fish but saw none.

Tough day today, only raised about 6 and briefly connected with one - I think they were just small trout playing around. Could see every stone in every pool, even the deepest - useful for future trips but useless for fishing today - even watched the weighted nymph I put on for a short time trundle along the bottom.... River is slippy bedrock and the whole range of rock and stone sizes - needed the wading staff, with more water and a bit of colour the staff would be essential. Did not leave until deep into the evening but nothing was moving.

I didn't actually fish it. Having had a blank on the upper Tarrel Libanus section the previous day I fished the town water of Brecon instead.

This report is for 3 lunch time visits this week of approximately 1.5 hours total effort. The Tarrell has really come alive, all sorts of fly life about including caddis, brook dun and olive uprights. Landed 6 fish and lost several, but all to nymphs fished duo style as rises in short supply. 2 around a pound, but most being 10 to 11 inch fish typical of the river.
