Feedback & Reports

No fish caught. Had one brown trout on at about 5pm. Caught on a shrimp imitation fished mid depth but lost after a brief fight! Tried both nymphs and dry fly. Fish rising most of the afternoon in mid beat near the forms in the main park area.

Generally had a good day and saw my first otter in the wild near to the sewage works.

See you again. Thanks.

River low and clear, dry fly, brown trout catch and release

Fly fishing for Salmon. Zero catch.

Not a good day, difficult to climb fence to beat from main road lay-by and no fish.

A pleasant mornings fishing, from the beach just on the downstream right hand side of the river past Llanforist bridge.
Caught nothing, no bites and seemingly no rises in the location.
Novice fly fisherman, so caught fly on the bushes a few times.
Easy access from free car park, maybe 0.5 mile walk.
Perhaps should have tried more locations, but with chair and equipment, it was easier to stay put.
Stayed at Penyfan farm self catering, not far from Newcastle, about 10 miles from Abergavenny. If closer I might have come back for evening fishing.
Maybe next year

No rises, one took a nymph at the bridge pool but didn’t stay on long. Lots of dogs in the river, probably not the best time of day.
