3 each caught spinner and worm. Not a bad day

4 x trout 7-10 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. Fishing in the rain this morning and gave up after a few hundred yards as the brook became suddenly extremely muddy.

I parked where the map said to and then tried to walk to the start of the beat. The choice of routes were walking down the scary A470, or over the fields with frisky herds and multiple barbed-wire fences - both with significant downside! So, I got back to the car and drove to the Brecon Industrial Estate/Business Park to park the car at the start of the beat.
In terms of the fishing I saw plenty of fish but disappointingly blanked. I was on a dry but really this beat needs you to tumble nypmphs through the boulders and bedrock to find those trout hiding there. I saw a few rises to sporadic hatch but I just couldn't get close enough to present the dry well enough as the water was gin-clear despite the downpours overnight. I'll definately come back to The Tarrell with my high-stick.

A surprisingly slow day in ideal fishing conditions. Barbel were seen rolling throughout the day, but bites were few and far between. The top field eventually produced some great fish to 8-14. Worth the wait! Chub nowhere in sight today, oddly.

4 Barbel

Another awesome WUf day. Struggled in the wheat field up by the bridge in the drizzle....we moved down below church over lunch and caught steadily from 2-9pm off the main flows. Lost a monster at the end of the day. 3 and 4oz Feeder and pellets ruled but larger barbel taken on my 'special' boilies.

10 Barbel, 4 Chub, 2 Other

River in perfect condition after some rain plus overcast. Fished 5 different swims, caught just 1 Barbel.
