Feedback & Reports

I'd planned on fishing downstream at Llanellen today but on arriving at the water I found it to be too coloured. Through the marvels of technology I could see that river at Brecon was running clear so with the tapping of a few more buttons on my iPhone, it was back to Dinas for the second day running. The river was indeed clear and still a touch on the high side. A good hatch of LDOs from about 11.30 which went on for a good 90 minutes or more. Some fish were rising but they were fussy and very spooky. My usually dependable CDC LDO pattern struggled, perhaps because it had to compete with hundreds of naturals but I managed 4 nice trout (1lb+) and missed a few. Not a single March Brown was spotted today whereas yesterday the same stretch had been littered with them.

First time on the Wye, river was high and fast so wading was difficult at best. Fished from the banks where I could and waded in as far as I dared but this meant fishing was touch limited.
Landed one small trout around 5/6” on the right edge (looking down stream) of Bathing pool, caught on a Gold Bead PTN....didn’t see/encounter any other fish.
I will return in the summer months when the river should be a little easier to navigate, still enjoyed the day though despite conditions and the weather held off enough for me to stay dry which is always a bonus

Water nice and clear, pushing through a bit. No sign of any fly life all day. GC had a nice small grayling on the nymph and DC a WBT on a brown dry. Nice day out and thanks to the Colonel and W & U.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

fished from 11am till 4pm. 1 brown trout and a very decent grayling (surely over 2 pound). Lost a big fish, which has broken quite easily a 6 lbs line.

Only bait used was worm, all fish caught within a hour, went really quiet then for the remaing few hours i was there. Nice venue will be booking again soon.

Very high, fast water. Difficult going. 1 small grayling (returned).

1 Grayling

4 x trout 6-9 inches, Goldbead Hare's Ear nymph. Obviously. I don't think we are going to see rising fish for a while yet, so it was a case of trundling a nymph along the bottom of some of the slower pools.
