Feedback & Reports

Very low water which surprised me because of the rain we had recently. No fish showing but did see one from the bridge before I started fishing. Tough day not helped by two paddle boarders who proceeded to go swimming in every available bit of deep water back up to the bridge. Add in the joy of tripping over a sunken nylon rope strung across the river under the surface causing a headfirst ducking not a great day! Spent three hours but most of that was spent watching idiots on boards ruining any chances and cutting rope and drying out.
Won’t be returning for a while!!

Second time fishing here and did better than my first trip probably because of the previous days rain which added a bit of depth and flow. Water was still very clear though.
Couple of hours on the lower beat to begin... 5 trout between 6-10" all on nymphs. The force of the water was quite powerful along there and the fish I caught were in the slacker water.
Then a few hours on the upper beat that was much easier to fish. 3 trout on a nymph between 8-12". Also lost a bigger one c.14" at the net.
Very little rising but had 2 grayling on a dry both well over a pound off the same spot. Lost another one further downstream of a similar size too.

More of a trip of exploration than fishing today.
Only fished one swim for an hour. Very shallow at the moment so no fish.

Something of a wasted journey unfortunately. The heavy rain we had in South Wales the day before evidently hadn't reached Mid Wales. The river was very, very low. We persevered for an hour or so before calling it a day. We did spot a few good-sized trout which spooked when we got anywhere near the deeper pools, so the fish are there! Hope to come back after some rain as it's a stunning beat with lots of bird and insect life evident.

2 rainbow trout caught. One on spinner and one on worm. Both around 30cm. Both slipped away and returned to the muddy depths.
