Hot day , plenty of swimmers and dogs splashing in the water , the suggested park site close to the post office in impossible to use because is aside the rod and plenty of people are using it for shopping , I'd to park in the center village and walk for one mile , after you payed the permit and drove for hours to enjoy it is looking like you are joked , but I'll give another chance again because the stretch is beautiful and I enjoyed walk on it , please Fishing Passport arrange another park site with the river rights owner you can'nt send people here and leave them struggling around for parking like idiots to enjoy what they have payed for .

Nice beat but lots of barbed wire to get over from field to field. I'm sure access could be made easier rather than having to wade around. Low clear water so challenging but if you got the right riffle you could get fish euronymphing. Rainbow warrior the top pattern. Despite huge fly life no fish rising consistently even as the sun went down, and only one slashy rise to a dry all day.

Fished only dries. Beautiful beat, good fly life and fish up to 3.5lbs caught.

I've caught one trout catch and release ,on a dry fly , may fly imitation in brown colour , the river was at a low level and the water extremely clear ,it was almost impossible to get close without to spook them . I have seen plenty of fish, it was a very nice fishing day

A lovely session today on the little wild , very wild Clywedog Brook!!! Fished midday till five ... me thinks Mr Otter had been gallivanting in some areas in the lower beat .... not a sausage in the usual pool heads... and fresh prints in the bankside silt !!!
Still, further up, sport was mega fun on my six foot one weight, which is ideal for here ....
Not sure when this little brook had some attention ie. In the form of some cutting back etc etc .... needs it,big time .... Can I suggest a wild streams board is put up at WUF HQ, with beats that need some attention .... tbh it's probably most of them in fairness ... They're not only the wild streams , but nurseries for the bigger Wye and Usk ... let these tribs go to pot, and there's no hope for salmo trutta then !!! Anyway, moving on, great dry fly sport ..... and lots of leg work today, nearly the full beat done, not quite sure where it ends but hey ho, no worries !!!
Fish between five abd eleven inches today.... I love there aggressive attitude here... they absolutely nail the dry... mind you, its gotta be presented right and the right fly for the occasion.... favourites got smashed here today!!!! Lots slipped off before the net !!! If you're prepared for quite bits of water with Mr Otter running the show here, either Fish it through quick and you'll soon know where he's been swimming up too !!!
Fifteen or sixteen to the net this afternoon , a lovely dry fly session , back to Rhayader and I think this angler deserves a cold pint of Inches cider in The Crown.....Rounds off a lovely Saturday..... sorted !!! Another of these cracking little streams on Monday .... maybe an Usk tributary ......
