Feedback & Reports

Spent two days on this beat, fishing the lower section (in between car park 1 and 2). The 1st day was the most successful, with both trout being caught including a nice 2lb. Missed several bites between the both of us as well.

Whilst fishing for trout in a deep area, a very large fish took a size 10 shrimp, before I knew it, I was down to the backing and he was far off in the distance and snapped at the leader. My line was wrapped around the rocks, resulting in some chunks being taken out. He jumped once in the distance, and looked like a sewin, but I understand this is quite rare, so perhaps a salmon. It was a complete shock, I just hope the poor guy doesn't still have a hook in him.
I routinely fly fish for carp, so used to fighting large fish, but I've never ran into something this strong.

Strangely, the second day, we did not see a single fish.

The conditions were great, the beat is really varied, with some lovely large deep pools, although, it was fairly shallow in most parts. Wading was quite challenging and casting was difficult at the lowest section.
The water was clear, and the waterfalls were amazing.

We did come across a petrol lawnmower in the river that was leaking, so removed it, however, there was a considerable amount of petrol around it, with some left in. Natural resources have been contacted.
Appart from the above issue, the river was very clean with very little waste.

All fish were released.

Saw more fish here than in the other Honddu beats I have fished this week, but none of the fabled pounders.

Another tough day bright sunshine until about 4 o clock when the weather changed to overcast skies, plenty of taps from small fish but only one decent pull round resulting in a nice Wye double of 10lb 8oz.Feeder fished pellet and ground bait and meat on the hook.
