Feedback & Reports

Went looking for fishable water in the hills - the river was high, fast but only lightly coloured. Sunny day so some olives, hawthorns and others around but no rising fish. However, did return 2 trout and missed a couple more on gold bead GRHE. One of 9" and an absolute beauty of 18" - I measured it twice to make sure! Terrific scrap as it took off for the Usk... Wonderful day, can't wait to be back.

Very fishy beat - has bags of potential. However, on the day of our visit, there was still a lot of water moving after recent heavy rain. Some colour in the water, but not too much of a problem. Regrettably, a brisk cold wind meant little in the way of insect hatches, and we were unable to move a fish with nymph, wet or dry.
In higher flows, the lower couple of hundred yards are somewhat dicey to wade, and once in, getting out can mean retracing steps. Once past this section the banks are lower, and a the river is a wonderful mix of pools, glides and rockier sections. Would definitely visit again given better conditions.

Just to let you know no fish caught on Thursday R.H

River flooded off. Great to be able to re-book

We were washed off and will go back later

With flow over the gauge it was un-fishable for trout. So went to Wentwood Res. instead, stood in the rain for most of the day, and had four fine rainbows each.

Water 1`11" at 0700 dropping to 1`10 at lunch, clearing nicely until the rained arrived early afternoon.
Hooked something heavy on the dangle, but it was off very quickly. Saw nothing.

Nothing caught.

A couple of hours after work on a near perfect river - 1ft 10" and green. Lost one after a few seconds in tail of Spring Pool and then 3 casts later in mouth of the gutter had a take on the inside that turned out to be a fresh run 8lber. Slightly disappointing scrap and was in net in about 4mins. Went back strongly without leaving the water at any stage.

Steady, persistant rain went straight through the wading jacket that had a family of mice liveing in over the winter! In combination with leaking waders I was left wondering is there was any point wearing either!

Fish 6.30am to 8am and lost a very big fish silver after extended play in top of Dolmeudwy. River 2ft and near perfect clarity.
