A lovely intimate beat best fished with a sub 7' rod, fished a duo set up with all fish taking the nymph and the biggest going 13".

Evening session. One to ptn and lost another. No rise and plunging temperature made life tricky....

I've fished this wild stream on numerous occasions but I am still slightly in shock because of the size of the fish we caught. Five of the seven were whoppers. I'm only estimating but they must have been in the 14" range, and nice and fat. I have caught the odd big fish here before, but not so many in such a short space of time.

Good conditions, overcast, clear water, good strength of flow. Fished from noon until 4pm, sharing one rod between the two of us. All on Hare's nymph below a Klinkhammer.

A perfect wild stream day.

Enjoyable hour or so at the upper end of the beat. Limited accessibility meant we stayed within about 300 yds of the Ford. Good conditions but no luck!

A few hours spent this evening on the Honddu. The water was up a bit, in some runs it was really pushing through. Great conditions for nymphing with a French leader. Lots of action with some surprisingly big fish about. Best 1lb 12oz, 2 x 1lb 1/4, 1 x 1lb 6oz (weighed in net) and numerous fish of between 9 and 12 inches.

River high & coloured after recent storms. Tried dry & nymph but nothing showing.

First time at this beat. Easy access, easy wading. Love the refreshing gin clear water in summer. The beat had some opened space and tight in some corners. Fish-able with 8'6" rod for careful casters or 6'-7' for those like me.

Low and clear water made the fish easily spooked. Many were in the unexpected shallow, which darted away even before I attempted to approach them. Occasional rises but never repeated. Tried duo, heavy nymph in riffle with not much success. Eventually, saved from the blank by 3 WTB on a single dry, targeting the shallow ahead of riffle with snail-pace wading and keeping low.

Great afternoon on the Honddu. This must be one of the best small trout streams in Wales. We caught plenty of fish on dry flies and nymphs, many of them between 8oz and 1lb. Lots more spooked, missed and lost. Extra water from recent rains a great help when fishing this stream.

Torrential rain, high winds and coloured water made fishing futile.
