Feedback & Reports

Fished all day using different methods. Very tricky wading and very difficult access on both sides of the river. Fences and steep sides prevented access to most of the beat apart from the top part. No fish seen or caught. Very disappointing small stream. No return visit from me.

Good fishing

Sunny/cloudy/windy day. Usual Rock and Island pools were too deep 1-2’ higher than our normal. V tricky wading but managed a few on Dark Knight. Midday went to Gravel Catch. Wonderful short-lived hatch of LDO, caught 4 decent trout to JGE and sedge patterns. Very splashy rises, lots of bird life also enjoying hatch (swallows, martins, wagtails). Nice stretch when levels are up.

I went to Llyn yr-oerfa late afternoon (after fishing Llyn lygad rheidol) and caught two lovely brownies

Very helpful owner who gave advice the night before the visit. Water was a little high which made wading difficult.
Sadly no fish caught or seen, but a great spot and will return in the future.

A few rising fish but strong cold wind prevented any significant hatches of March Brown and LDOs. Missed fish feeding on black gnats under the willows. Lovely stretch of river. Just a few coppiced down areas would enable much easier access especially during times of high water levels.

Lovely day, and what looked like near perfect conditions. I tackled up with high hopes, and then used nymphs (mostly downstream and across) for six hours, with only one small trout caught. As I drove away I found that the other person on the beat had filled his boots with large trout, using a nymph fished upstream. I wish I could have watched him - I would have learned a lot!
