Few fishing showing Mick showed me so new runs that held fish but none took.

Tricky day with nothing showing and a chilling downstream wind. Surprisingly little action with just one fingerling hooked on weighted nymph. Nice water with doubtless potential for the patient and cautious

Very little evidence of fish rising but abundance of fly life. Excellent beat with varied pools and streams.Easily accessible and easy wading.Thank you to The WUF.
We will return.

River quite low today and water fairly cold. Not many fish rising. Both fish caught on A PTN . Great looking new fishing hut! Looking forward to returning for another outing on this most accessible beat in stunning surroundings.

A beat of three-thirds that I have not fished before. Bottom and top thirds are gorges over bed rock. The top particularly reminded me of Clettwr. I walked to the beat start but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are into rock climbing as the descent to the water was challenging. Also fishing the gorges was very challenging with gin-clear water and a low flow. All fish caught in the middle third which had a nice set of pools. Best fish was a feisty 12" WBT from the deepest pool. Walk back to the car was long and along busy roads.

Enjoyable day, good rise

Cloudy but warm day, wind a little strong but not noticed when on the river.
A frustrating day, only 5 trout between 4 and 6 inches to hand but at least three times that lost and even more missed.
Fished dry all day on small klinkhammers, all of the fish coming from tails of pools or slower water.
Fish rising all day but had to move very slowly because the river very low, consequently took me 8 hours to complete the beat!I should have caught loads more and I'm sure a better angler would have done.
Nice beat which was very varied, both in the water and the wading.

Fished from 12.00 to 16.00. The afternoon started badly, chilly and overcast. As the time wore on the sun appeared from behind the clouds. Very little evidence of a hatch but the fish seemd ready to rise to my dry fly. I ended up with two nice fish at 10 inches, 3 more about 8 ins and one at 6 inches. I missed many more rises to my para Adams. A lovely stretch and a satisfying afternoon on the dry fly.
PS. It might be worth making it clear on the instructions for the beat that cars should be parked at the very far end of the parking bay - where the asphalt stops and the grass begins or on the other side of the road. I thought I had left room for the owner to turn his tractor but apparently not. The farmer was perfectly pleasant, but it might be helpful to be completely clear about the parking requirements.
