Feedback & Reports

See previous days report for river conditions and successful baits. Best Barbel today 8lb. Again all fish caught in the faster water swims.

Although the catch return would suggest I've had a productive day, the opposite is true. All today's fish were pretty much caught from one pool. I would estimate that 80% of the water is unreachable. I'm 6 3" and I have been stung in the face trying to get to fishable swims.????

£60 fuel on top of ticket. Won't be back I'm afraid.

To hot and no flow in the river today. The water is taking on a dark brownish colour. Only tried a few casts before deciding to pack up. No bites today

Warm sunny day and low water levels. My fishing buddy, there were two anglers, have decided it is better to collaborate than complete, so I’m going to report our collective catch at 11. The fact that he managed to locate two graying shoals (I didn’t think they did that in the summer) is irrelevant. I fished the challenging water and managed to hook a fine wbt. He, I have to concede is the better river angler, and took the rest.

I fished from middle parking area up to the end below the reservoir. If you are not agile and fit don’t even think of fishing here. However if you are, this is a lovely gorge with pocket water and riffles. Trout between between 5 inch and 10 inch are prolific. Day was warm, 24deg and humid.
EHC and PTN worked all day.
Grand day on a lovely wild mountain section although only minutes from Merthyr Tydfil.
Thank you Wye and Usk Passport.

Really hot and sunny, so I wasn't very hopeful for a good day's fishing to be honest - but always lovely to be here.
The river was a little higher than when I was here last.

All on nymphs apart from one dry.

7 Trout hooked in all, 4 to the net plus the Grayling. All size 14 PTN with a bit of flash, all in shallow water. Very warm and bright. We both were testing wader repairs- all watertight!
