Feedback & Reports

The access on this beat is a problem. We found three cattle crossings flanked by multiple stranded Barb wire fences. The first two were passable with difficulty. The final one defeated us. No way round on either bank due to yet more Barb wire, cattle on the one bank and horses on the other.
The top third of the best was effectively off limits.
One WBT and a few missed rises between the two of us.

Very low. Plenty of flies on the water. Some action on dries.

River level was just about high enough in the pools to keep me occupied. Plenty of insect life and flies hatching. Lost one fish on a nymph but no luck beyond that.
Access to the river was fine.

cold weather, the river was at a perfect level and quite clear but not crystal , olives were about but no rises and the nymphs were not working either , the high water in the winter and the bank work has made the casting much better ,as i live quite close will be back for more sessions during the year .

No fish caught

Very slow , no fish caught

Didnt go , as it was raining too much

The Honddu was running lower than I expected. I was thinking that after the rain we have had recently that the levels might have been up a bit, but no. Crystal clear, and still with a good low to it. First cold day of the year and a few crazy downpours, but mostly pleasant. The beat is pretty enclosed by hedges/trees, so the weather didn’t really affect the fishing or experience.

A great few hours working my way up the beat. Not lots of action, lost a couple but managed to net four. The last was was of a decent size, probably 12-14”. Fished with a Klinkhammer indicator and gold bead nymph. One fish took the dry.

Access to the water difficult as banks very overgrown. Good insect activity in late afternoon but fish showed little interest in the mayfly.
