Nil caught

Relocated here after found out by chance our booking was cancelled at Bigsweir. Told access road was fine but as per other feedback here, really only passable with 4WD. Caught a 1lb trout on the fly on the ledge in Black Hole. Saw nothing else. Nice clean stretch of river, wade with care.

1 Trout

Fished high water with spinners. No fish showing.
Caught 3 trout up to 1lb (all on spinner - 1 from the Rocks (returned), 2 from Mill Stream). Hooked into a bigger fish at Mill Stream, lost after playing for a minute, by then I'd lost / broken my heavier spinners, making it difficult to fish the fast water effectively at this height.

Hoped for a little warmer and some sort of hatch- neither happened, saw a few rises near the bridge, nothing caught BUT enjoyed my visit again and was able to have a look at all of the locations you mention on your map. Will go again and try from the Aberbran end.

Hard going, river needs a bit more time to wake up.
Very enjoyable day.

6 Trout

One rainbow trout on the worm and a brown trout on the spinner.

Nil. Water level good, a bit coloured, sunny but cold, no fish seen rising.

Pretty spot but wading a bit of a challenge because of the rocky, uneven bottom and fast current. Glad that I had full waders, felt and studded soled wading boots, and a wading staff. Started with a dry fly Red Tag but switched to Gold-Headed Pheasant Tail nymph because saw no rises. In all spent 4 hours at the beat and did not sight a fish. However, I will persevere, especially since I live nearby. Saw a few Dippers and a Leech.

Arrived late afternoon and saw a fish rise before I had cast a line, caught 1 trout about 12" at the top of the beat on a gold head pheasant tail. Had another take just above weir which I missed, good couple of hours.

1 Trout

Little insect life and nothing rising. Fished all day on a weighted nymph and no sign of life. Access to the bottom left bank part of the beat is a bit overgrown with brambles. Good to see fry already in the sunny shallows.
