River level good - 0.4m at Brecon station. First time on this beat, good access. Parking at top of beat. Fished a half day from 1:45 to 5:30 Breezy, some sun, but scudding clouds and a spot of rain later on. 13 degrees.
Fish keeping their heads down , but a hatch of some sort of upright at about 3pm brought a couple of fish up to feed off the surface in the slower water. Fish caught nymphing in the faster riffles with a Small PTN and a larger HEN.
Nothing taken on the surface.

Blustery day with strong downstream wind. Water clearing after yesterdays rain.
Tried nymphs initially, hooked 3 small fish (about 12 oz) and landed 2, at the downstream end of the beat.
About 1pm went to top of beat to try dries.
Nothing hatching and no fish moving. Turning over the leader into the wind was hard work. Gave up just before 3pm with no interest whatsoever.

Strong wind and the brief burst of Spring warmth over the weekend had gone. Water clear and still falling. No hatch and only three rises seen and none interested in the various offerings from my fly box.

First time on this beat - good stretches but short compared with the neighbouring beat Dinas fished last year. Given they are priced the same perhaps Dinas offers better value.

Beautiful day but fishing conditions challenging with river high and in full flow in bright sunshine. Managed to catch one wbt of 10-12 inches on GRHE which was returned safely.
