Feedback & Reports

First thanks to the gentleman who arrived 10 mins after me but agreed to go to another beat - hope he had a good day, because I did! Nothing in the morning despite lot of fly life including some mayfly. Some rises from about 2.00, and the para. Adams worked well exploring the water. Returned 6 to 10" and 1 at 14", and missed as many again. Great day despite the low water.

In spite of very low water I had an enjoyable few hours meandering up to Michaelchurch. Fish were moving in most of the pools and seemed keen to feed. Finished with 10 fish up to 10oz all on a dry Adams. Great fun, but rain is needed.

I had intended to fish the lower part of the stream but arrived just too late - see below under Lower Grywne Fawr report - and no I didn't have a good day! In spite of a good deal of fly life mayflies, brook duns (I think) and medium and small olives and midges I only saw one rise all day. After several attempts I got him to take a Griffiths gnat, a 8" 'specimen'.
Still it was a very pleasant day and a beautiful spot. I shall get up earlier next time.

A good day for fishing some sun but generally overcast
Few fish seen moving, moderate hatch of brown jobs (sedge) middle day and again about 3pm. Water quite low. JW had 4 fish none retained, on I think nymphs. I had 2, again returned, one on a bibio the second on an Irish salmon fly (wet)with a green body and mallard wing, I think called a sooty olive. Quite difficult to decide how to fish this most attractive water.

Weather mild and cloudy. River showing its bones. Fished top beat a.m. Little rising. Just 2x 8" trout and some salmon parr to small beaded usk naylor pattern. Fished lower section p.m. Two types of mayfly hatching sporadically at 4pm approx. Mainly ephemera danica and a few poss. e.vulgata. Caught 2 more small ones then 2 x 1 1/4lbs on large grey mayfly emerger. Good sport in wonderful surroundings. Will be back. Many thanks to WUF and Glanusk staff.

I had an enjoyable few hours at Wyebank. The croys make it very fishable even in such low water. Hooked and lost a fish just above the third croy on a yellow shrimp fly. Many thanks.

Blustery and drizzly with low water conditions. Very little rising all day but caught 3 nice trout with largest at 1.25lb. All caught on a iron blue dun. Beautiful part of the river to spend the day on, with plenty of water variety, ideal for a novice like me.

6 x 7-10" 1 x 14" (wow). All returned well. First thanks to the gentleman who arrived 10 mins after me but agreed to go to another beat - hope he had a good day, because I did!

Incredibly low water for April and thus lower Llangoed very easy to fish. Early fish on a variety of nymphs and then a sporadic rise from early afternoon onwards saw plenty of offers on emergers / surface film flies. Because I don't fish rivers often a small foam beetle seemed to fit the bill - at least the fish thought so.

Upper Llangoed saw a few chub but the rapids and below is where the trout were. Saw a few early Mayfly but only 1 or 2 so of no fish consequence. Lovely day, 13 fish to 12".

Only had 2 hours around midday, so only fished middle half. River very low, but regular rises when the wind died. 1xWBT approx 1 lb on gold beaded PTN. Managed to shake off another that took a parachute adams. Lovely beat - look forward to tackling it when it has more water.
