Feedback & Reports

No salmon caught or seen. Just one surprisingly feisty brown trout at about 2lbs took a Sunray Shadow (c&r) just before a huge hatch of March Browns.

A cold downstream wind made the fishing quite tough but I managed a few on spiders (Waterhen Bloa and Dark Moorgame), and at lunchtime there was a decent hatch of LDO's, and I found a few fish rising in the pool at the top of the beat. They readily took a size 14 CDC Dun. Nothing bigger than a pound but a pretty decent haul for the day. The gauge was about 10 inches at Glanusk which is still a little high for this beat in terms of wading for trout fishing. Maybe this is a better option for lower water conditions. On the whole it feels like this beat could use a bit of TLC. The access isn't great and the walkway is falling apart with bits of stray barbed wire here and there which took a fancy to my new waders! Perhaps this is a good salmon beat but I would say that this beat struggles to justify its high price tag for the trout fishing when compared with other WUF beats. That said, I'm sure that the beat holds some excellent trout and if you run into one or two lunkers, it makes the price easier to accept.

A typical early season day on the river. LDO's and a few March browns coming off from noon until 3pm and the odd fish rising in a slightly cautious manner. All fish took a quill bodied deer hair emerger size 16 with the biggest a plump 15".
