Feedback & Reports

We had 6-7 fish to the net between us including a few over 1lb on a mix of euro nymph in the riffles and dries on the flats.

No luck. Only a couple of fish showing. But not interested.
Another angler showed up twice to fish from the other bank. Said merthyr club access, which isn't correct - see early april catch report. River too deep to cross so the fellow has his story and look of innocence well prepared.
Beat owner may want to know.

Unfortunate the beat seemed empty of fish. We only saw two fish the whole day despite a huge hatch along most of the bottom end of the beat in early afternoon. We saw a heron several times on the beat and locals confirmed the presence of an otter in lower sections. Much of the beat was in accessible due being over grown and it took us a while to figure out how to access the far bank which had the better fishing. Top and bottom ends of the beat seemed in accessible due to over grown banks and too deep to wade.

Very cold wind gusting to 35mph and 6.5C start. Wind whipping up ripples on surface of water. Casting difficult. No rising fish. Persevered with nymphs but no luck on this occasion.

Bright warm Spring day. Expected more surface activity, but saw no rising fish and no significant hatches.

Fished for a few hours, no rises seen, caught one decent sized WBT nymphing. Saw an otter and a mink, very scenic beat, great access. KM Hereford

Lovely venue. Downstream wind made things difficult

River rose overnight and through the morning, colour to the water.

Two on dry March brown and one on a wet version, quite a few missed. All between 1-4pm. Water level was great (although meant didn't cross to left bank) and a lovely beat all in all.
