Feedback & Reports

One 14in fish caught on a nymph in the morning before river got to high and brown to fish.
Went back at last light and fished till to dark to see and managed three more 12 to 14in fish on black dry, so made it more worthwile.

I can't comment a lot on the things like river conditions as we were fishing in the river for first time and also we are just beginning anglers. I've caught 1 brown trout on the may fly nymph just simply let freely it to float by the river current, I had 2 takes on the dry fly but didn't manage to set the hook.
In general it is a nice beat, there is fish movement, its close to Brecon town so it's nice mix with nature and view in the town.
My strong advice is before you decide which beat to book, is to read the Wye & Usk Foundation Fishing Reports.

Perfect conditions early in the day with fish rising mainly on the flats. Difficult to temp but managed most fish on dries apart from 2 larger fish of 19 and 20 inches on a gold headed hares ear from the faster water at the top end of the beat. A very enjoyable day with my Dad catching his first wild river brownie.

First time on this beat and enjoyed it . very nice stretch of water. river levels low with a strong continual wind made it quite tricky. plenty of fly on the water brook duns , uprights etc ten trout to french nyphing and three to the dry. fishing the dry was very frustrating with several good fish rising but casting a real problem. size wise all between 10-22 inches. shame the wind was up all day as there were fish rising freely for 2 hours. will fish this again but with a few more inches on the gauge as i am sure you could achieve a good catch here with some pace in the water

Started fishing around 1 pm, cloud had dissipated and day now quite warm. Steady hatch of olives although no consistent rises. Started fishing a duo. After snatches on the Klink, I switched to a dry. Caught 3 handsome WBT on a soft hackled Olive from Onstream, last one being shade short of 3lb! Worth the 450 mile found trip.

12 trout caught averaging a pound with the best weighing 1.75lb. Should have caught more.
Conditions were pretty good with the river at a nice height. There were sporadic hatches of olives and march browns all day with the fish enthusiastically responding resulting in at times tremendously frantic sport. Most fish caught on dries and emergers. Will definitely return to this beat.
