Feedback & Reports

Rather challenging couple of hours. Driving rain put paid to any chances. Finding entry points to the river is a tricky thing and as a stranger I would advise contacting local club for more detailed directions.
Great potential

Surprised to be rained off here - I can only assume the reservoir must have dumped a load of over night rainwater into the stream as I was fishing near the very top of the beat.

Fished the river above Merthyr Tydfil. Started at Lines Bridge just beneath Cyfarthfa Castle. River still had an inch or two in the system with a lovely colour. Lots of small sedges and bwo spinners on the water with plenty of trout feeding. Managed to catch two dozen or more lovely wbt ranging from 1/2lb up to 2lb.

Fished with spider patterns and nymphs and gave it an honest go but unfortunately no fish would take the flies. It was however a nice afternoon on the river.

An enlightening trip, had more time than previous outings, and so was able to explore the river a little more. No fish caught but lost one and missed a few others due to inexperience and poor knot tying.

Pleasant short session on the river. Lots of fly activity. Although struggled to find rising fish.

A couple of hours fishing for two novice anglers. Fished dry fly method. No fish caught, but surface splashes at least gave confidence that there were fish present. A good learning exercise, and we will endeavour to try again.

Only fished for a couple of hours. Very low clear water and no visible fish movement although some signs of hatches of olives and sedges. No fish caught
All fishing by French nymph on a long rod with two nymphs. This technique was successful the previous day in similar conditions on the river Ebbw.

River was very low. Managed 3 trout (I think stocked) on a JW Nymph. Very tricky, couldn't temp anything with a dry. Reports of a dead salmon found on the beat last week. Will be back!
