Feedback & Reports

A disappointing day on a brilliant looking beat. There are obviously some really good fish here but the cold relentless wind put down the fish and the fly.
Not many olives hatched despite yesterday's blizzard of LDOs 5 miles upstream. There was a short 20min hatch of MBs at lunchtime which produced a few fish but others had to be hunted out. 15 trout to 15"

It probably was a decent day if it wasn't for a chilly steady northerly wind. We had 1 trout on nymph at the beginning of the beat then there was a hatch of olives at midday for about 1 hour which gave us few fishes of around a pound. After that the fishes stopped feeding. Despite covering lots of water we didn't have a single take on nymphs. I still need to decipher this river under the surface.

Cold east wind. Very little hatching. Three trout to 14", on nymph in fast water. All returned.

First time on this stretch. 5 WBT returned safely. Should've had more but missed loads. March Browns were favourite. Water height 0.31 at Brecon. Seemed a little low. Lovely sunny day; probably too nice for fishing. Windy all day long which made casting tricky at times.
Please tell the owners that there is a stile in need of repair - half way to the bridge, near the fir trees.

Used nymph then dry fly. Plenty of hatches, several rises but nothing landed. River a good height, weather warm and sunny. Flies used PTN and parachute Adams.

Spring is here at last! River full and coloured to start but fined down during the day. Experienced one of those March brown hatches to die for. Thousands hatching all in synch (what triggers it?), fish hardly know what's happening and in five minutes it's all over! Nine brown trout to 16" mostly on nymph. All safely returned. Great day.

One trout of about 1lb (released) taken on a March brown. Caught at about noon during an intense hatch of March browns and Large Dark Olives, the only hatch of the day. The weather was varied - a persistent cold wind.
Really enjoyed the fishing, although the wading was hard work. Worth a mention perhaps on the beat description? The depth of the water in particular was challenging.
