1 x 8 inch trout, 1 x 17 inch out of season grayling, spiders

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Great to fish this beat again, it's been a while. So accessible and very pretty. We had the place to ourselves, which is always a bonus and the water was 'perfect'. Fishing proved difficult though, not helped by a cold, blustery upstream wind. A few fly were about but certainly not in numbers to bring the fish on. We persevered with spiders for most of the day, and managed to winkle out a few small trout and an out of season grayling (the best fish of the day, at just 12 inches). The ever faithful Snipe and Purple worked well on the middle dropper, helped 'down' by a tungsten nymph on the point. The odd fish did start to move late afternoon but they proved very selective. Other than the fishing, two highlights of the day were a very low flying jet banking just over our heads, along with a big black stoat or mink working the opposite bank. We'll be back!

Nothing caught or seen. Nice day out in a company of very friendly new owners of the beat. Having said that, can they also be booked as fishing rods? Thank you.

Stayed at Pwllgwilym holiday cottages B&B night before , highly recommended , epic breakfast with home made bread ,

The country side was beyond beautiful in the morning , stopped of Dave Morgan’s in Builth Wells for some of his home cured bacon before getting to the beat.

Conditions were perfect for a memorable day’s fishing but fish had other ideas. No response to a Klink and nymph . Switched to a dry as midday approached and the odd olive was coming off the water . Two small grayling snatched at the dry , nothing after that. Fished a team of nymphs and hooked a nice Grayling of around a pound . No surface activity and no hatch.

River was on the high side which prevented wading across to the other bank, two salmon rods fishing at the same time so slightly crowded but we made it work.

Fishing a disappointment but stunning scenery .

Fresh cock fish 15-16lb safely returned, caught on a cascade.

A cold day for standing in the water all day for very little action.. but still a better place to be than at work I'd say. Very brief hatch of Olives around lunchtime when the sun came out, lasting just long enough to grab a trout rod, put a dry on & catch one good fish. The rest of the time spent with the salmon rod to no avail.Even the wildlife were tucked up somewhere out of the cold wind. Great to have the opportunity to fish this beat.

First time at the beat, very enjoyable. @1'5" today, perhaps a smidge on the low side to get the best from it, but can imagine it holding fish. No Salmon seen, heard, or caught. Around 2pm there was a big hatch of Olives: trout went suitably bananas.

Cold spring day but river in perfect condition, 1'6 on the gauge and running clear. One very fresh Salmon measured 38", est 21lbs landed from Lady Alexanders Catch at 1400 on a silver cone head Snaelda. Thank you.

A Fish seen running abernant stream, but no joy

River was high but dropped down over the course of the afternoon into perfect height. The downside was the clarity, which did improve throughout the day but sadly no fish seen or caught. Today will be the day, no doubt!
