Feedback & Reports

A lot of water, difficult to access but a pretty place. Access from the opposite bank looked much more inviting and a good deal easier. Didn't catch or even see a fish. Probably wouldn't plan to fish there again.

5 rainbow trout (kept) and one WBT(returned).

A pleasant and goods days fishing with weather conditions fair.
Six rainbow trout caught before stopping fishing at approx. 4pm.

The river was running a little high but this is a fantastic stretch of salmon river. There is the Rock Pool above the bridge and below the bridge there is a fallen tree which has created a lie for salmon. I was lucky enough to have John Harris show me the beat and I fly fished all over. No fish unfortunately but when the conditions are right it's a superb place and I will definitely be back again!

Rain overnight, river very coloured. Despite conditions, some fish were rising. Top Pool provided good sport on a dry sedge, although wading challenging due to very powerful push from the current; took 4 fish between 1lb and 1.75lbs from same position in less than an hour.

Mainly overcast day with some drizzle. All caught on white lures. They didn't seem interested in anything else.

Used toby spinner for Salmon from about 11.30am to 5pm when it started to drizzle. Water high and muddy - we did not try wading. Nothing not even a nibble!!!

The river was higher than when I fished it for the first time last year but fairly clear and not unfishable.
I worked down stream with a small green gold head without success. Late afternoon I came back upstream, took a small trout on black nymph. Met the owner of the beat who kindly suggested I try another pool upstream and advised on which of my dries I should try.
Took two small trout in quick succession before rain stopped play.
Conclusion: I have a lot to learn so must be content with only catching the small naïve fish before I can graduate to finding and deceiving the bigger ones!
Even without catching, this beat is just a wonderful place to spend a day and enjoy the solitude.

Taken on Black and Brown Nymph. River was running fast but manageable. Stayed at The Manor in Crickhowell - very good value.
