Feedback & Reports

Surprisingly low water considering last week’s rain. No surface activity & no response to prospecting with dry fly & nymph on lower part of beat during an enjoyable afternoon, but there is a far better fisherman than me on this beat!

River still high (15” on Brecon gauge); running fast but clear and cold. No self respecting trout was going to waste energy in the fast water so worked down the beat exploring the pockets of calmer water with a PTN - without success. Focused on the deeper pools. Some olives coming off which attracted the attention of the occasional fish - but nothing for me. One more trip before the end of the season!

Nice day

Lovey day fishing this beautiful stretch of the River with my Dad. The Barbel were hard to come by, but we managed two to 7lbs 9oz. Plenty of action from the Chub, managing nine up to 5lbs 4oz. River had dropped nicely following torrential rain throughout week and was still fairly coloured. Thoroughly enjoyed

Lovely beat and looked in perfect condition as the river was fining down after the recent high levels. However the only barbel appeared early and just chub (and an eel) after that.

Great days fishing. The banks were treacherous in the morning being very wet. There are steps cut out in every swim which make it easier to get up and down. The river was pretty high so only 1 swim which was easily fish able. The river was falling during the but still pushing through nicely. Chub were all 1lb to just shy of 4lb, mainly caught using big chunks on luncheon meat. Both barbel were around 6lb and both caught on luncheon meat. 4oz feeder was just holding bottom in the slacker water. Other baits that worked were glugged halibut hookables.

Great little venue with loads of wildlife !

Honddu on form with a drop in water temperatures and recent flush of water. Trout from 6 to 17 inches and 1 graying of 10 inches. Mixture of nymphing and 'duo'.
