Feedback & Reports

It was a treat to fish such a beautiful river. I fished 6.30 to 8.30am caught 1 1lb trout, which I returned, and missing 2 other takes. Also fished 5 to 8pm missing 1 trout. I mostly used a gold head PTN,to get down, the river was flowing fast. No trout rising, although nice evening. Beats 2 & 3 best for trout. Also I didn't see any salmon. Thank you. Very enjoyable. I will return!

1 Trout

38.5" (20lb+) fresh cock salmon, caught on spinner (toby lure) on the Builth club waters.

1 Salmon

Only fished for a few hours, with the river a little high but running clear. Plenty of Fly activity but nothing rising to them. Opted to fish New Zealand style to see if I could tempt one up. Which I didn't as all the fish took my tiny Olive Nymph. A couple of grayling to 13 inches and some great Trout to 19 inches.

5 Trout, 2 Grayling

16 Trout, 1 Other

Caught mess spinners and worm.

8 Trout

Nine lovely fish, 3 fish 6-7inches,5 fish 9-10 inches and 1 fish 14 inches in beautiful condition. All fish returned safely. All fish taken on size 16 gold bead hares ear nymph. A fantastic day's fishing in perfect conditions, until a broken rod tip abruptly ended my day.

Weather was spot on, although a fitful and chilly upstream breeze kept the upwinged flies from hatching in any numbers, although the odd few did take to the air. However, these were unfortunately few and far between and not enough to tempt the fish to look upwards. Therefore fished deep with the usual flies (GRHE/PT nymphs) in order to present flies to the fish, which were all in excellent condition and gave a good account of themselves in the slightly high water still pushing through. The trout might've made 3/4lb, the largest grayling around 1lb, with the smaller grayling in 6-8oz bracket.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

One trout of about 2lb, caught on an pheasant tail nymph and returned.

1 Trout

Started on nymph without luck, tried on dry fly on the only 2 fished I spotted rising but it seemed they had other plans. No hatches of any kind. The bottom is full of caddis but maybe the water temperature too low. Lovely day though.

Fished for most of the afternoon. No fish seen or caught sadly - river was probably too high to be fishing anyway. I only saw one canoeist which is quite odd for the beat and time of year. Lovely beat to fish from.
