Feedback & Reports

Very little hatching but the lower hedges and fields next to the river are loaded with spinners of all types. Managed to winkle out a few fat trout on GRHE and Para Adams with the best two fish at 12" and 13".River now getting pretty low making the fishing tricky.

Fished 11am through till 3pm, then had to leave for a meeting in Brecon. Very much an exploratory visit, and I thought that I would blank until, quite suddenly fish started to feed at just after 1pm. There had been fly (including a few Mays) before then, but no rising fish. However the very low water made them easily spooked and I put most down at the first attempt. A size 14 dark olive fooled 3, each about 10". The rise stopped as suddenly as it had begun, just after 2pm. A very nice beat, though campers might be a problem at the top end.

First time on this river and what a stunning place to spend a few hours fishing. Fished from 11 til 3 in bright blue skies and warm sun. Lots of LDO's hatching from the off but nothing rising as I made my way upstream with a small nymph. No touches or any sign of a fish and I feared a blank was on the cards until just past the old bridge when the "rock" that I thought I'd snagged suddenly moved and jumped and shot of downstream! After a Few heart stopping moments a fine trout of 15/16 inches came to net and was safely returned. My best wild stream trout to date. Had to leave shortly after so didn't make it to the top of the beat but it didn't matter.

Caught one good size trout of approximately 12 inches on a size 16 brown goldhead nymph. The river was very low and clear and not much was hatching.

No fish caught but did not stay late. Fished for the afternoon only. River quite low. Used both wet Tenkara style fly and dry sedge. I did manage to rise a single small fish. No fish were seen to be rising.

Fished from 12.30pm - 6pm. Not much rising, generally, ones that did were mostly caught but majority of fish caught came up to an Elk pattern fished 'blind' and were very quick & obliging. Very few mayfly except for a big flurry just after rain. Plenty of LBD's hatching, fish weren't interested in taking them from the surface and yet rose to the Elk. Fished dries all afternoon/evening. Warm & humid, overcast with drizzle & one heavy shower.

No fish seen rising, tried olive para and goldhead nymph with no success. It was quite a chilly spring day with a stiff cold breeze which was probably keeping the fish down, water had a slight tinge of colour to it. No fish caught.
