I have finally joined the Clettwr club and have the bruises to prove it. The river was very low with only the lower pools fishable. Managed two small trout and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.

Quiet couple of hours early morning. Water levels very low and crystal clear. 3 trout on small nyhmps. beautiful setting.

Found it tough today, river very low and many pools pretty static now. Managed to hook and land 3 (all about 8"), all from the fastest water at the head of the pools. Of course saw many trout scooting for cover, however invisible I tried to be! Lovely day though.

A ridiculous amount of fun with a 6ft #3 rod. Hats off to those fishing recently who've got double digit hauls, it's hard going down in the gorge. I was pleased with three - two on a elk hair caddis and a very respectable 9" fish on a beadhead PTN while straddling a tree trunk.

Fished this beautiful stream again it really is like a different world down in the gorge. Tried nymphs in the surprisingly deep pools and gutters 2 small trout fell to black magic nymphs. Exited via the footpath up from the old bridge which was easier than hiking all the way to the end of the beat.

The Clettwr was in fine fettle, clear and at a good height. The fish were keen and 6 came to hand with others 'released at distance'! This small stream is a very special experience. The trout are small but very beautiful with bright red spots, red margined adipose and white edged fins. A delight for those keen on 'commando-style' fishing.

I defy any angler not to come away from this beat without a silly grin on their face. A truly unique experience. You'll lose track of time, have no idea of the weather up top and start expecting to see monkeys swinging by, it can be a hard climb but what a change to put your hand out for balance only for it to land on a cushion of lichen/moss so thick it could make carpet come back into fashion! Six wbt to hand and I only got just past the bridge. I always book this beat if I'm on the Wye system, love it, still got a silly grin now!

The wildest of the wild stream beats got the better of me today. Only 1 Trout caught and lost on a Para Adams.
The water seemed quite low and and most pools had a fish right in the tail who quickly scuttled off to warn his brethren of my approach. Only got to the footbridge and decided to take the easy route back to the car. Clouds of Black gnats around and the occasional upwing fly.
