Feedback & Reports

No sign of any fish until the olives made an appearance, and when they did, the fish were tuned right in on them. Dry Fly Heaven for a couple of hours, 3 nice fish up to a one and a half pound returned, and a few more lost at the net.

Drove up from London same morning expecting river to be high and coloured, or to arrive in midst of downpour, or both. Delighted to find on arrival the day was merely overcast (with temperature around 8'C) and the water conditions were fine (1 1/4 on Brecon gauge). Fished flats for the most part from 11 am to 1.15 pm (B .C) or 2.45 pm (G W) respectively. Sporadic rises to LDOs early on followed by large hatch of March Brown from say 1.50pm to 2.20 pm that brought up more of the bigger fish. A few trout still rising when GW stopped fishing. Fish caught ranged from c6 oz to 1 1/2 lb and took Taff's emerger, hare's ear/ comparadun emerger and March Brown dun. Great start to season.
PS. Other reports have also noted a perceived recovery of the March Brown population on this river in recent years. Has there been a study on this, does anyone know, and if it's true (i.e. the recovery) does the report suggest why? I'm used to these things getting worse so it would be nice...

Saw Two Salmon: One leapt V High (about 7/10lbs). And soon after one showed, neither took flies. Had one salmon tug on fly later. Took one small trout mid afternoon.

7 x trout 6-9 inches, Goldbead Hare's Ear. Most fish still on the bottom in the deeper dubs, but I got one seen rising.

Fished with partridge/orange on point, waterhen bloa on middle dropper and march brown spider on top dropper. Took 3 fish up to 1 1/2 lb on the point fly and 4 fish on the march brown from 3/4 to nearly 2lb. Fish active 12-4pm. All fish in super condition and all returned.
Fish taken at wood stream, the rock, and the top run despite water being 0.9m+.
Great day!!!

Running at 3ft on the Llanstephan gauge but surprisingly clear. Spinning with Rapalas. No sign of salmon but took three very nice trout. At 1.30pm a considerable hatch of March Browns took place lasting until 2.15pm and perhaps after. Even in flood conditions the fish responded close to the edges. No fly rod - obviously!

Great day out, fish were in fast water. All fish were taken on March Brown Spider.

Arrived to the river rising, again. Over 3' on Llanstephan gauge. Should of stayed at home... Fished until midday and departed. Maybe next time.

Great hatch of March Browns around midday. Incredible to see!

Grey overcast day, no wind or rain, water level a good height, perfect! Really good march brown hatch from 11.00 for half an hour or so. Few LDO showing. Plenty of rises and 3 trout taken on small cdc dun, largest to 3lb. It's not only the fish that love march browns, the ducks love them too!
