19 x trout 8 - 15 inches, mostly on spiders, Waterhen Bloa and Hare's Lug and Plover. Last 4 fish on dries on a pool tail during an LDO hatch, Stuart Jarvis' Bastard Adams and Olive Jingler. Water high but clear. March browns elsewhere on the beat apparently.

Fished top end where stream enters lake, cold conditions, however a few fish rising, managed to get one to take but not landed.

Fish caught on a mixture of nymphs and dry fly. Short hatch around 1pm but didn't last long. Best fish 2 1/4lbs

Had a first go at swinging spiders on this beat after a brief chat with Oliver Burch about set up and fly choice. Appreciated the advice!
Had to adjust quickly to the speed of the takes. Got a few trout mainly on the point fly of a team of three including an acrobatic one pounder which leapt all over the place (but stayed on).
1’1” on the gauge and river running slightly coloured. Trickle of M Browns brought them up at lunchtime. Dry flies (klinks in particular) brought more takes but didn’t connect.

River still highish (18” on Brecon gauge) running fast but clear. Stiff cold wind from SE ; Rain began at 11:00. An uncomfortable few hours fishing a PTN in the slower water.

Moving the locked gate down the hill has helped enormously. Field is very wet and I struggled even with 4WD. If you have doubts about your vehicle’s capability, may be wise to park on the recommended hard standing.

Winter floods have altered bank profile below Sewage Pool. Without a step ladder or crampons, be prepared to walk to the very bottom of the beat to access the river!
