Arrived in dry at 0930 with temp 9C and very light SE breeze. By 0950 drizzle started turning to very heavy rain for half an hour. When we left at 1600 temp 16C. River flowing fast, a little high and a bit murky. Saw less than half dozen fly (March browns?). Saw no fish at all. Tried various nymphs and a March Brown.

As usual the trout had a crazy twenty minutes around lunchtime but I could not get to grip with my fly choice. Most enjoyable day and thank you to the owner for rescuing me from the mud.

Beautiful stretch of river, but high and rising water levels and a cold wind made fishing a bit of a chore. No fish seen and no takes. Shame as fished here last June and had lots of very decent fish on dry and wet flies.

Fished bottom pool only before heading up to Dinas. Two good trout on nymph 12"" and 13". No sign of any book to sign in at gate as requested in booking instructions.

Lovely day, fish active around midday. 2 caught, 3 lost (one of which was a good fish and snapped the 4lb tippet).

A blank, althuogh a couple of chances missed and one or two fish rising. Low clear water, cold with a gusty downstream wind. Some LDOs and March browns in short sporadic hatches in the middle of the day but the fish dont seem to have switched on to them. Dry fly produced the chances - nothing seemed to want to touch a nymph. Lovely beat. Worth crossing the river and fishing the left bank on the lower section.

A beautiful stretch of water. I fished downstream wet fly/spiders in riffles and dry fly / nymph over the glides. The river is low, very few LDO coming off - no rises or trout seen. None caught, but will come back!

Partially sunny, no wind, river low and clear. Trickle of olives from mid-morning, slightly bigger hatch at around 2pm and some trout showing then. Caught 1 on dry fly then, and one earlier on a nymph.

First time on this beat, beautiful dry fly water with the majestic Brecon Beacons as a back drop.Fished with long leader nymphs while waiting for an early afternoon hatch to start and caught my first fish of the season (15") below the bridge on a size 14 copper head hares ear jig.Around 1.30pm LDO's started coming off the riffles and four fish were caught with several others pricked on a size 14 Deer hair quill bodied emerger.I look forward to coming back when the weather warms up.

Clear water running at an average height at just 4 degs. Hard frost meant it was pretty cool all day. No fish seen or caught, but a pleasure to return to this lovely stretch of water. Had a great day
