Feedback & Reports

Originally two of us were to fish but one dropped out due to illness. I went alone and found the river high and slightly coloured. No fish rising or visible and none caught, but a very pleasant day in this pretty village with a great pub!

River very full and murky. Far from ideal fishing conditions and no fish caught but a fun day nevertheless. A great lunch at the Bell.

River running high and coloured, hatch in the afternoon but didn't see a single rise. No luck on nymphs. Heavy rain in the afternoon so headed to the Bell.

Very very cold, but beautiful day. River was clear and pushing through. Fished from 7.30 for four hours using a variety of nymphs. Hard to find fish today but managed 4 grayling, nothing of size and a oos trout of about 14". Fairly pleased given the weather.

WUF please amend the parking directions as the space in front of the Bell is now a picnic area. I parked in the pub car park. Cheers.

WUF Note: Thanks for letting us know, we will look into this and update maps accordingly.

1 Trout, 4 Grayling

Lovely beat but unfortunately the storm had washed too much colour into the river to have a good day - abandoned after a couple of hours with a blank.

Managed to pick another day in Wales with temperatures hovering around zero and snow falling. Didn't raise any fish, but not totally surprised. Found a dead eel in the river and saw a knackered looking salmon swim past me. Nice beat though, and found welcome refuge in the Bell as usual.

good access, a few flies coming off and caught a Grayling on a dry, grey/ ginger klinckhammer.
parking has indeed changed, either the pub Carpark or by the castle (short walk)

1 Grayling

Four good grayling caught as many again missed. Good size oos trout lost near the net. All fish caught on beaded nymphs but no fly the same so still trying to find the right pattern. Parking is now in the pub car park as the pub have landscaped the fishermans car park area by the rivers edge. The owner was ok with this when I spoke with him and happy with the buisness he recieves as a result of the fishing.

4 Grayling

Two small grayling taken on small PTN. The odd rise seen, missed one on a deer hair caddis. Not a great deal of activity. There is a footpath on the north bank that takes you quite far down the beat.

2 Grayling

Lovely day, beautiful river. Some fish rising (very few though); but nothing caught. We were on dry fly.
The good news is we can only improve from here.
