Feedback & Reports

I took a chance and booked this beat in advance of my short break near Brecon. It lives up the the description, a beautiful stretch of water. The river was slightly coloured and flowing quite swiftly. A gusty, showery day made life difficult and I saw little evidence of fish on the surface.
Tried just about everything, dry, wet and nymphs. I eventually tempted an nine inch trout with a Walkers Mayfly Nymph in the Waterfall Pool. I connected with something bigger later but the excitement didn't last very long.
If only I'd booked it for the next evening.... that's life.

Fish this stretch along with Cefn Rhosan Fawr, which is the other bank. Beautiful fishing throughout it's length. The top section of this beat is truly stunning but difficult fishing. We caught 3 trout up to a pound, all returned.

Nothing of notable size but did loose one decent fish, all caught on nymph, no real sign of surface activity.

A beautiful stretch of river but nothing rising and no success with a nymph. Did however see an otter! Strongly recommend a wading staff on this section of the river.

1 brownie caught on fly, river was a little bit high and still quite brown but never the less a very enjoyable day out in very picturesque surroundings.
Fish caught was around the pound mark and in excellent condition.

I missed a few takes and then lost a fish whilst playing it.

Only little trout, nice place. No surface activity.

1st blank day of the season, conditions were good, however hardly saw any fly about and didn't see a single fish rise all day. Had a really good take around lunchtime on a nymph fished on a floating line, added to the frustration as it felt a good fish! Farmer has fenced off stile in front of farm to gain access to upper part of the beat - WHY??
One good point to take from a disappointing day was that I didn't see any canoeists!
Liked the beat, just think I caught it on the wrong day. Would like to return at a later date, hopefully when there's a good rise as there was some lovely looking dry fly water.

Had a wonderful time and the location was lovely. Caught 2 wild trout on a gold head hares tail nymph first on the Friday at the bottom of the beat. Upsteam on the forth cast, 1lb in weight. Weather was warm and sunny. Fished the whole beat upstream and on the return downstream, just the two swims down from the water fall. I caught the second about 1 1/2lb downstream at about mid day. Both great condition. Nothing on Saturday as the temperature dropped.

Hard going, river needs a bit more time to wake up.
Very enjoyable day.
