Feedback & Reports

Such a shame to see the algal bloom. Where has the crystal clear water gone? Where is the lush green ranunculus? Why is there brown slime everywhere. Its criminal what has been done to this river and i do hope and expect that WUF are working together with as many organisations (both angling and non-angling) to get the suspected source of the problem - free range chicken farms, to control what they are releasing into the wye catchment.
Tough going, but still one of our favoutie beats.
other: chublets, perch (on a boilie!) and bleak.

Heavy overnight rain resulted in an 18" rise to the water levels but I still made the 1hr 15 drive in the hope that it was fishable. To my surprise, the river was 'OK' for 3 hours before it rose again and turned quite brown. I managed to take a few trout and grayling using spiders and nymphs in the more oxygenated water. A very pretty beat which lots of fishing – if you're willing to work hard and cope with some dodgy wading situations. As mentioned in the beat instructions, please take great care when entering/leaving the carpark – the blind crest just before the entrance is very dangerous with the A470 being so busy and fast!

Not a bad day but I think it is disgusting that the track hasn't been repaired it's very difficult to carry gear to the bank

Short evening sesh. Breezy and fresh, 2 on weighted lure with one a beaut of 15" or so, chunky plodding fight. Not much action up top at dusk though managed one on a small black wet fly.
