Feedback & Reports

I fished for a few hours before lunch and then again in the afternoon/ evening. There were no obvious hatches but the fish were rising to the top every now and then. I managed to loose a couple of hooked fish on the dry before I landed the a brown trout. A great days fishing in a very nice location.

I only managed to get to the river for a few hours from 3pm but there was a hatch of may fly and the fishing was brilliant. Three fish were feeding in a pool near the start of the beat and I managed to hook all three fish and then loose all three fish. I only fished dry fly to rising trout and after another hour or so I manage to land a very nice 8oz brownie. Great few hours fishing. Beautiful part of the countryside and very nice stretch of river.

Enjoyable days fishing however barbed wire across the river in several places made it difficult to move up river

Quite cold higher up the valley, until the sun cleared the mist in the afternoon. River running fast and clear, but not much hatching. So, only saw a couple of rises but I could not tempt them and after half an hour went back to the small gold head PTN. Nothing in the faster shallower runs, but got 3 good 10/11" trout from deep pools and runs. In really good condition, fought hard in the strong current. About half way up the beat be prepared for a couple of dead sheep with the burnt remains of rubbish, not pleasant.

Stalking required, fish to be found in the deeper pools. Caught one on a ghe nymph

Very pleasant day in the Honddu valley, river very clear but the recent rain has helped clear it a little. Olives hatching but not many rises, but I tempted trout from many of the faster or streamier runs, eventually landing 9 to 11" on small paras and dries. Kingfishers, water birds, and buzzards flying around, but also some plastic bags etc and tin drinks cans in and around the water - mainly I guess from the campsites next to the river. Removed what I could.

Pleasant beat, except for a couple of dead sheep near water.

Sunny day with light wind, the river was running beautifully with a very slight tinge of colour. This was my first trip to this lovely little river, which unfortunately ended in a blank. I did lose a small fish on the last pool and I may have missed a couple of bites too.
Didn't see a single fish rise despite there being a small hatch, on one pool I sat and watched flies landing and skating on the water. I sat patiently, expecting a fish to take but nothing happened. I will be back to this pleasant river once it switches on.
