Feedback & Reports

The Llynfi,near Hay on Wye,where I was staying was flooded and brown, so I headed out to Sennybridge. The Crai had plenty of water but was clear as glass.A cold wind didn't help so it was a blank day for me, but a beautiful and quite easily fishable stream.

An excellent welcome when advising my car details. when we got there it was quite cold with intermittant sun wind light upstream. River wss nearly 2 feet up but clearing. There were a few olives and some smaller blue flies . one rod caught three to about 12OZ before lunch. quite a rise about 1 but no joy. final fish about 4. Fish all from slower glides. Second rod blanked but lost several around half pond.
we both felt that the fishing was quite difficult with too many trees along the bank. maybe the good work on feedrr streams coul be extended to main river.
That said to return on a warmer day eoul be enticing.
All fish returned.

Only caught 1 rainbow trout between the 2 of us. We lost 2 others though and were only there for 3 hours. Trout approx 1.5lbs.
Nice lake and easy system to book. Would prefer to have option for half day prices.

Not possible to fish. River in flood.

Nothing caught.
It was a cold May day with no hatches seen.
Fishing nymphs I had a few missed takes. I was surprised to lose 3 flies during takes and was using Frog Hair tippet x7 for the first time.

No fish caught.

4 Brown Trout, all 11-12 inches between the 2 rods, returned. Cold and windy, with overcast cloud but thankfully no rain. Decent rise to light hatch of up winged flies in the early afternoon. Caught on diawl bach, invicta, dry greenwhells glory.

Didn't fish due to a "wash-off" - river was flooded, fast running, brown and murky!

A strong nibble but no fish - too flooded! Very inquisitive horses on the approach field had me cornered for a while - advice is to stand your ground and they will get used to you!

My first time in these parts. If this is the standard I am very happy and really looking forward to a return on any roving beat in calmer times. Very handy for the Skirrin Inn this one!

Fished a short afternoon session on a very cold overcast day - max temp 9c, but with light winds. The sheltered bay at the dam end had sporadic hatches and the trout responded by rising freely even in this cold weather. We caught 8 brownies, largest 15in, on dry fly and emerger patterns. All in good condition, and all safely returned.
