Feedback & Reports

River conditions were clear and low, but a good hatch of olives created some interest, however upstream nymphing with a GHHE was the most successful method and superbly conditioned fish took well and fought hard before being returned back to the water.
A beautiful stretch of water, had I been more in tune with my fishing I think I could have easily doubled my catch!

River a little bit fuller than the previous day on the Dinas beat after some heavy rain the night before. This beat has long flat sections in which there weren't many fish showing. All fish were caught in the faster water on dries and were between 12 and 17 inches. A beautiful setting and a very enjoyable day.

Low water and sunny, nothing caught but could see how it would fish well in the right conditions.

Slow day, but lots of insects above the water.

I fished this beat the day after the Wild Streams Open Day, and it is probably the best £10 I have spent in some time. Beautiful stretch of river, challenging but fun fishing. The water was a bit coloured following the previous night's rain, but the fish were there and occasionally rising. Two small browns taken on dries and released.

Very few fish rising. Water levels were low.

A favorite beat of ours in an unbeatable setting. Lost my first trout within 5 mins and proceeded to lose a further 4 throughout the day (the others experienced the same), Penpont trout are the fattest I've ever seen, no slimmers world around here. Managed to land one, 16'' around the 2lb mark, 2 of the others lost were of a similar size. We left too early, should have waited for the spinners to fall which filled the air. One rod had 3 in 10 mins in the bridge pool just before we left at beer o clock.

Late report and sadly not much to report. Fished from 6am until 10am when canoe traffic meant an early finish. Nice water but no sign of salmon. JC managed one trout.
