Feedback & Reports

Had a fantastic day at Courtfield, the conditions were perfect as at last it has stopped raining! We met Don who put us in the swims.
My friend J had a barbel in the first 20 minutes, then went on to catch 4 more up to 8lb.
I was blanking until 1.30pm, then moved further down Legg Meadow where I caught a nice chub of 3lb and then the barbel moved in. I had 4 big fish ranging from 7lb to 9lb and lost one. Such a shame the season is ending when the fishing is now so good. They need to extend the season by at least a month. We will be back!
Thanks Don.

River dropping off after another slug of rain water passed through. Water temp 47C. Plenty of finicky bites and a few fish landed. Lovely day in a lovely spot.

Great days fishing. Don Macer-Wright was a great help. He liased with my mate who has also left report. I was into the barbel second cast fished in Legge Meadow. I had 2 of 8lb, 2 of 7lb and 1 of 6lb. My mate had 4, 2 were 9lb plus and a couple of chub. Fished the woods in the summer, good size barbel, prolific stretch, well worth booking!

Nice stretch, water very fast and lots of snags. Lost at least 15 hooks. 2 barbel between 3 rods.

A lovely stretch, worth the walk to the lower end.

6 x trout 8-11 inches, spiders with a weighted nymph on the point. An early morning start after heavy showers while driving to Brecon, which I hoped wouldn't affect the river. The water was pretty strong but clear, and fish were quite active. Although it was difficult to deal with a downstream wind and fast currents, it felt just great to be back on the river after all these months. But about 11 o'clock, the early rain had its effect, the level suddenly rose, the river coloured and the fishing switched off. Having forded the river earlier, I found I couldn't get back and had to walk round via the town bridge - something to watch out for under these conditions.

It was so nice to be back fishing today on the Rectory for another season again water was looking really good in the morning but we had a lot of rain overnight so when it came down from the mountains it was unfishable by 2pm but least got the lines wet again no salmon seen or caught but had a lovely brown trout on the fly about 3/4 of a pound bright sliver just like a sewin roll on next week.
