Feedback & Reports

A low river greeted us but with just a tinge of colour following overnight rain. It was gratifying to watch the hundreds of sand martins feasting on the hatches of mainly tiny flies. More worrying was the flock of 18 Goosanders, nature in all its bounty but not sure a flock of this size is sustainable for trout stocks.
Plenty of fish in evidence but so difficult to tempt. I had one of those days , hooking 4 mostly on parachute Adams but only netting 1 as the others threw the hook after a short fight.
JJ fared better taking 4 tout about a 1lb all on nymphs.
Really enjoyed our day.

6 x trout 9-16 inches, mostly on a Parachute Tups. A session on a cooler evening than of late, with light drizzle and Usk trout being characteristically "picky." A couple of good ones in the bag, though.

Pretty hard going,very low. Frustrating on the drys,top of beat changed so much with winter floods,not as nice to fish,massive move of the river bed and stone,
6 fish,biggest about 2 lbs,in fast run below bridge.
Otter holt upper beat under tree was stinking with otter smell,it toke my breath away when wading passed it.

Fished between 11 & 3, bright day, no hatches and not many fish seen. Couple of WBT no more than 8" Not exactly the most scenic of beats but based on other catch reports it looks like the fishing has made up for it for others.

great day at Dinas, although fairly tough fishing. Stuck with dry all day, picked up 7 but had a number of fish unbutton, including 2 large fish.
