Feedback & Reports

A really tough day with conditions far from ideal, the river was running high and was very discoloured following some heavy rain, making fishing tricky. I couldn't tempt anything with nymphs or streamers in the deeper pools but fished the shallower ripples towards the end of the session and had two fish take my nymph, with the larger fish spitting the hook during a mighty leap and the second fish of about half a pound graciously coming to the net (and returned safely to fight another day). Thanks to Barry for taking the time to talk to me on the phone and for passing on his recommendations. A beautiful beat and I will be back to fish it again in hopefully better conditions.

Only had a short session in not the best conditions due to lots of rain and a temperature drop, but still managed to catch a 2.5lb chub and a 3.5lb chub.

Fished from 11 to 2pm on the upper beat, ystrad side where I caught the 3 trout (2 x 1/2 lb and 1 x 1lb), then 2:30 to 5:30pm on the lower beat catching none. I was using beaded nymphs all day but did see a couple of rises. The water was very clear. Only the second time I'd used waders and found it very challenging as it warned on the website with rocks very slippy. Need to buy a wading staff I think! Lovely day though and hope to return.
