I did not fish on this day

short 2hr visit water was a little higher than i expected, Fish nymphs top end of the beat with to avail. A small hatch around 2pm saw a couple rising as i was packing up unfortunately other commitments so had to leave.

Bright day 13-14° very light wind. Great beat with plenty of character and variety. One very good condition WBT 14" and one 7" WBT to nymphs, both returned. Light hatch of March Brown but very few rising fish. Stayed at Wellington Hotel in middle of Brecon, highly recommend lamb and mint pasty from bakery next door. Lovely day, good to be on the river again, thank you WUF.

Probably still a bit high in the morning but the level dropped and clarity improved for a fly later. Different day. Same tactics. Same result. No salmon but I hooked a fish spinning at the bottom of the beat early evening which didn’t stick. Possible salmon or maybe a big trout.

Used ledger and worm. Fished most of the day and caught nothing. Not even a single bite.

Wasn't planning on fishing the Edw , but had had some fab sessions on both Craig Goch and Claerwen reservoirs just lately , with them now being so close it's superb.

The Edw was a little high and coloured to be honest and lots of winter beds been made, some deep, so be carefull !!!! Fished a heavy single PTN throughout, three dinky trout of about six to seven inches..... still need to colour up and in fairness needs another two weeks here to come alive !!!

Lambs having a ball in the fields, I got out after a couple of hours, waters still very cold, even though this afternoon was thirteen degrees!!!... hard work at the moment negotiating obstacles...... lower water is almost better on this beat tbh !!
Anyway, two fun hours, nice to have a bit of a bend on the six foot, two weight rod. Walking back in the field is the remains of a mandarin duck I think looking at the feathers. I did take two of them!! More still there folks. Back here when it warms up ... Will try one of the Arrow beats after the Easter rush !!! Happy days ????????

Great beat with plenty of space to cast and good wading the only down is the barbed wire to fence off the river so take 30" of pipe insulation in your bag keeping it with you for other beats . very sunny day with blue sky , nice depth of water and just light colour . Well now the fishing 10am start no fly life to be seen so started with PTN two sizes 12/14 not a thing , then the same with GRHE 12/14 i hasten to add not at the same time i just fish a single fly. Just after lunch there was a nice hatch of olives but no rises at all tried a dry any way , I then went for an olive nymph the just before my ride turned up at 5pm got a nice 10" trout beautiful fish with the most fantastic pink to red spots ,
