Feedback & Reports

The weather was overcast and fairly cold, with a downstream breeze. The river was showing 12inches on the Brecon cam, but was falling from an earlier flood and so was still a little coloured. There was very little fly activity, just a few sporadic hatches and the fish were reluctant to show. Both trout fell to a small dry elk hair sedge.

Cold temperatures during most of the day (7-8 deg C) with very little contact with any fish, late warmth and a drop in the northerly wind brought some fish to the surface especially on the bottom end of the beat near the house.

Didn't fish because of atrocious weather

Tough day, River still very coloured in the morning and flowing like a set of rapids in places, hairy wading tested our balance through the morning.... flow and colour settled down a bit through the afternoon..
4 trout to team of spiders, one to a HEN.No rises seen at all although some uprights seen hatching. Nice to get back to the river for first outing of the year.

I found it difficult today, the weather was ok, typical April sunshine and light showers, quite breezy too. The river was as a healthy level and pushing through very strongly.
Spent most of the morning waiting and watching for a hatch as I was confident there’d be one around midday but midday came and went. Then around 1pm a few small grey upwings started to appear, they weren’t big enough or in sufficient numbers to get the trout excited where I was so I moved on until I noticed a small rise in a slower deeper part of the river, a bit of very stealthy wading had me in position and able to present a small dry to the odd rising fish, all of which took my offering but sadly I missed 3 and lost one, then the small hatch was over and no more fish were seen.
A pleasant enough day even with the constant scream and drone of motorbikes with a little bit of action but no fish landed.

Warm and sunny day. River clear and falling. Brecon gauge 1ft 1in. Lovely albeit a bit too sunny. Small hatch of ldo and few march browns around lunch time and the odd sedge. 2 rises all day. Had 5 bt to about 1lb, one salmon parr and one sea trout smolt. Lost 2 very good trout. All on heavy nymphs.

I have not fished this beat before. It is a good stretch of water, however the levels were a touch high and still a bit coloured which meant wading needed care. Due to many trees along the length you have to do a fair amount of walking to wet a line. Not much fly life and only saw a couple of rises. Therefore never really got to grips with this and never enticed anything. A nice day out however.

nothing much happening wirh very little fly on the water, lovely day though

The river was clear but up and pushing, and there was a pretty vicious chilly wind. There was a very sparse hatch of LDOs which never got going and a good but short-lived March Brown hatch. Some trout came up for the March Browns and we managed to get a couple of fish each with one or two takes missed. Best fish of the day was about 1.5lbs, the others all around a pound.

Nothing caught or seen. A wonderful days fishing nonetheless in near perfect conditions.
