Feedback & Reports

Very cold start nothing showing until about midday, we did have a few fish on and off but only the one landed. We were using nymphs all day, only spotted three rises all day, definitely a decent head of fish and a very nice piece of water I will definitely be giving it another go.

Fly fishing - strong cross wind made casting more difficult. Will go earlier in the morning next time in the hope of more still water.

Clear water, bright day but still a bit cold. Caught nothing and saw nothing.

River running well, water clear, but Low air temperatures and a cold upstream wind contributed to no discernible rises. one 25cm WBT caught (and returned) early afternoon to a small dry fly.

No fish caught. Did see some fishing rising for around 10 minutes around mid-day but that was about it. Also say a salmon jump under the pipe bridge. A few guys from the Merthyr club were also fishing the beat and had a chat about tactics. Will definitely return when slightly warmer and a not so cold easterly wind.

bright sunny day but a cold east wind. good hatch early afternoon so a short period of exciting dry fly action.

Haven't ever tried Chanstone Court beat , so gave it a go this morning . Cool start , six degrees , overcast and still , nice weather to be out , bimbled down passed the bridge , to the side of the oil seed rape field , and strewth talk about bad access , very few places to get in , and out !!!!!!!

The Abbey Dore beat is much more user friendly to be honest . I'm agile but this was a crazy beat . As lots of tight barbed wire every were , bit of a nightmare , anyway after the winge , onto the fishing !!

Nothing showing on top , still a tad early , so single tungsten size 18 olive nymph , took a while before any action , then wallop , confident take , and boy did he go !!! About ten inches , cracking condition , quickly released , good start . . . . . . . .

No more tackers for a while , then another deep pool , head of it , another good take , fish of about twelve inches , great colouration , and a nice run around on the two weight rod ! Slipped back in , happy days . . . . A pleasant few hours , a bit frustrating with the access , surely a few styles can be placed here and there for getting in and out of the stream ???? I guess we're spoilt , as there's plenty of streams all round herefordshire and the borders , so we can afford to be picky , ha ha ha !!!!

Will give this one another go from my usual Arrow , Lugg and Pinsley beats , it's still very pleasant , although I think Abbey Dore pips it hands down , nice chilled out three hours , two lovely Dore brownies caught and released . Another day off tomorrow, where too , mmmmmm I wonder !!!!!!! May be Bugeilyn or Talybont for a change ! After all variety is the spice of life !
