Feedback & Reports

I found the river high and fast from the recent rains and a bit murky and the fish could no longer be found in their usual locations. I found them in pockets using some perdigons and stimulating nymph colors.

1 nice grayling, approx. three quarters of a pound 3 little trout, approx 6 to 9 inches. All on nymphs, "across and down."
No fly hatching, except two lovely big mayflies, no rising fish. Pleasant day enjoyed. thank you.

Only had time for a couple of hours very early due to family commitments. Spun the deeper water with a Mepps for a change. No salmon seen.

Some nice sized trout today, biggest a pound and a half. Gold bead nymphs particularly effective in the coloured water which was up a foot or so overnight but dropping by the time I packed up at 5.30pm.
Very few rising fish and not many hatching insects in a blustery breeze.
Put a salmon fly through the low water catches in case anything crept up. Nothing seen.

Half a dozen touches, bumps, pulls and on/offs mainly in the
Gravel Catch. The day saved by a heroic 4” troutlet that took my perdigon as I was retrieving to re-cast.
Difficult in-the-face wind made good presentation a major challenge.
Saw one rise in Gravel in several hours but moving down to the hut pool for the last hour, a few fish were coming up just before it was time to go.

Best of the fishing in the morning. Mostly fished above the bridge up to start of beat. Water in good condition although low. Only a few rising fish, on and off within minutes. All caught on various weighted nymphs - Holy Grail, PTN (variant), Hares Ear. Fish up to 2lb. Very squally, rainy windy conditions in the afternoon made any attempt at the dry’s difficult. Nice to meet Louis again (Wye Usk), a fountain of knowledge and useful fishing information. We’ll be back. :)

A bit windy and rainy, but managed a few good figures at the end. Water with slightly increased level, but clear.
