Feedback & Reports

Fished this expansive beat with 3 other rods, plenty of water for all. The Wye still quite high and crossing the river below the steps down to the beat not an option.
Nothing much happening in terms of fly life and nothing rising in the morning.

A trickle of flies from about 1.30pm got the fish moving. LDO's and Yellow Mayfly being the most obvious part of this light, mixed hatch. 3 wbt 10"-14" and one muscular out of season grayling of around 13" but very thick and deep set. All took a French Partridge off the top, 3 below the bend half way down the beat, the the 4th at the bottom of the glide at just up river from the steps.

Fish turned off at about 4pm as the temperature dipped. The water dropped by 3"-4" during the day and with an improving forecast the following week some lucky anglers are going to be in for a good time on this outstanding beat.

One brown trout, about 35cm caught at the middle planks. One brown trout 25 cm, On the flat middle of the stream. One trout taken on the flat middle of the stream, a 35cm brown trout. All fish released.

Rather disappointingly nil caught or seen

12lb cock fish, Francis Fly, Bathing Pool. 2` height rising slowly. 1530 hours.

No salmon caught,but we did see two fish around the 20 LB mark. both rods had a few brown trout biggest around 1 LB all returned . Lovely beat and a great day.

3 Brown Trout. Largest 1lb 8oz all on a black tube fly opposite Ty Newydd hut. No Salmon seen.

Nothing caught.

The river level was still quite high and slightly coloured due to rain the night before but was fining off during the day. Managed to catch 7 fish, all good sizes 1/2lb plus - with one over 1 lb.
Weather was good - sunny with some cloud cover and the air temperature was about 14 degrees C.

Sadly no fishing as the water was too fast, full and dirty...another time maybe !

we didn't fish due wash out
