Feedback & Reports

A quick session here this evening to check it out after the winter. Been some changes for sure but nothing drastic and still plenty of good pools and runs. No mayfly spinner but some large gatherings of Brook duns out in the fields in the late evening light ( a lovely sight back lit by the setting sun)but thats where they stayed this evening despite much watching & waiting!

No fish to hand but bumped a few good fish at last light.

Just a lovely place to be with the evening sun along the valley and the Black mountain in the distance and looking forward to a return asap.

Rain stopped playing. Try again tomorrow.

Not fished due to heavy rain and likely swollen river.
Will try another year

A few mayflies showing. Only occasional rises & most takes to prospected klinkhammer.

Had planned to fish Talgarth but parking spot already taken and unclear which beat was being fished.
Bright sunny conditions with nice flow still in the stream. Fished Tenkara with mix of small nymphs and unweighted kebari.
Good size fish today with several over 12 inches.

First time out this season and nice to be out after the long wet winter. Still a bit chilly and strong flow on the stream.
2 trout on heavy nymph with Tenkara rod.

Surprisingly low water considering last week’s rain. No surface activity & no response to prospecting with dry fly & nymph on lower part of beat during an enjoyable afternoon, but there is a far better fisherman than me on this beat!

Thought I'd give the middle section of the lovely Llynfi Dulas a bash for a couple of hours this afternoon...... got there two ish ...the view is fabulous from the top ...a nice bimble down to the River , running at a nice height but always slightly muddy in colour here .... some lifting of stones revealed loads of caddis and a stone loach!! ......wowser haven't seen one of those in years !!! ... there were bullheads under some large flat stones too... and plenty of invertebrates... in fact amass with them .... Great stuff .
Mayfly on the go from two and large Brook duns ... also olives but trout weren't that keen on rising today.. think I saw three rises over two odd hours !! Managed five to Para dries they really hammer the fly here when they want it ...thought it would have been a bit more lively here but alas pretty quite considering the mass of insect life ... oh well thats fishing for you !!! Still a super couple of hours on x secretive little stream .... getting very overgrown here in fairness..... Real jungle warfare tactics , the six foot, two weight was plenty !! Back home and a bottle of cold Amber nectar me finks !! Another little adventure ..... these wild streams are fab !! Get out there folks, they're at their best now !!! Happy days !!!

River looked perfect when I arrived around 11 with nice colour. Struggled in the morning with nymph, maybe still a bit too much fresh water. Decent olive hatch going on and fish started to rise from 2. Managed another 4 on a soft hackle dry.

Fished very early morning, a challenging beat. Plenty of fly life on the river, but no rises, no sign of any fish all morning, used wet/dry fly, nymph, no bites. Still enjoyed, nice to see a family of otters at the lower end of the beat, maybe that’s why all the fish have gone.
