Feedback & Reports

Good morning with 14 barbel, although small up to 4lbs. Moved to top of beat in afternoon with no success, lots of weed & a few swims not accessible.

Three brown Trout. Two on a Cranefly,(Size 10) one on a winged Black Gnat(size 16). Sizes from 1lb to 11/2lb. Many false rises to large Sedge. Good hatch of white Mayfly (in July!) but fish appeared to ignore them. An excellent day's fishing. My thanks to the foundation.

3 trout and 1 seatrout all caught on nymphs under dry fly all returned. A hot day bright and sunny fished the bottom pools first. At 6.30pm to 8pm. Then moved to look at top pool and fished untill 9.30pm lots of fish moving caught none. Very enjoyable and picturesque would fish again hard work getting to and from beats and car but worth it!!!!

30 June lower Brecon Town Water: 9 x trout to 16 inches, Black Klinkhammer but mainly Red Bustard Moth after dark.
Worth noting that in the hot weather all my Usk beats have responded well to fishing a big fly upstream after dusk and stripping it back just under the surface. Trout from places I didn't think held trout. Also, by the way, the shad are still present in large numbers in such places as Usk town bridge pool (I know we musn't fish for them) where you can see the spawning going on at dusk. Pool full of eels profiting from drifting eggs.

Blanked. About the most enjoyable blank ever. River was in superb nick. Raised 5 fish and managed to lose them all. Only had a couple of hours but will definitely make another visit if in the area. The Foundation service cannot be faulted. Please keep it up!

Had little time for fishing on a hot still day, with low water conditions and no fish caught but saw some superb trout in the margins.

Very clear instructions and look forward to returning next season.

5 barbel to 8lb 2oz. 2 chub.

Brecon - 14 brown trout - on nymphs and klinkhammers all fish returned
Penpont - 16 Brown trout most on nymphs all fish returned Cefn Rhosan Fawr - 13 brown trout on nymphs

Larger fish on the brecon beat about 10/12 inches. Other beats mostly very small 4 inches although lots of them.

4 browns to 9" Adams/Klinkhamer. All released.

7 trout caught and released by group, largest over 12inches.
Klinkhammer and gold head fished New Zealand style. Hot sunny day, low water, few fish rising when the sun was out. The few times times it went cloudy the fish started to rise, pity we couldn't stay into the evening.
