Feedback & Reports

Lovely day on the river. Saw my first fish rise of the season and managed to snaffle 3 wbt on the dry. Rises were few and far between so the nymph rod came out quite a lot and accounted for the other 3.

LDO and MB hatched in short bursts from 1pm to 4pm. Two very good fish lost in the first flurry of activity, the bigger of the two would likely have been an Usk PB (c.20”) but broke the connecting knot when close to the net after a wrist aching 10 minute fight. Four fish to 13” eventually made it to hand, all caught on a March Brown Jingler.

Smattering of grannom in the morning. Fish not interested. Brief rise around 14:00 to ??River high but clearing.
7 trout on dry flies and nymphs

Cold downstream wind and plenty of water in the river made for very tough days fishing and no fish caught.

Cold downstream wind. Tough day

oh my, well how old is that beat map? From top of beat parking space , by bridge, no track as detailed. Once found followed it back towards bridge and the old 4 wheel drive track disappears and ends up foot path onto private drive. Must be ancient!
Given that what a beat, always wanted to fish this, proper mountain goat territory not for the feint hearted. Too high really at a foot to give access to the water. Be back once height suits better. 6 fish fishing softer edges of the runs.
Update the map please, only fair to anglers.
