Feedback & Reports

The weather gamble didn’t pay off. Heavy rain in Builth overnight meant that the river was high and brown. I persisted until late afternoon when the water dropped about 8 inches but it never really cleared. Apart from one short pull no fish all day.

River still high and pumping through. Fished Legg Meadow and managed one barbel and one Chub. Still a beautiful place to be regardless of the fishing.

5 wild brown trout, most of them about 3/4lb. Morning session up to mid-day. Quite a few takes missed and lost fish - they weren't really having it.

River high and running very hard, several fish were lost due to the force of the current and using barbless hooks of course. In the end a few nice barbel to 10lb 04oz, and a brilliant perch of 2lb 8oz. - all caught on pellet

River rose about 12'' during the day but didn't effect the fishing, all 3 of us caught so a good day all round. Main bait pellet but some on meat. Stayed at the Pilgrim Hotel, very comfortable, excellent food and good selection of beer!

This water is being heavily poached. Lots of empty worm tins on the bank. We reported those we saw.
