Feedback & Reports

Parked up at the designated parking spot for this cracking little brook ..... I'm sure the area is used for Powys road maintenance teams cause there's a huge array of plastic road warning signs etc etc .....
Last time I was here the otter had been on patrol, and he'd been on the "go" today ...... again !!! Areas were as quiet as a mouse particularly up to the pipes, although I'd picked up three or four by then but unusually quiet .... but fresh otter prints gave the game away , didn't spot him today but he wasn't far !!! River is sitting at a lovely height,with that slight "Ithon" tinge to it ..... but clear enough to watch thr trout come out of knowwhere and smash my dry fly !!! Just the best !!!
Dry fly sport was really fun if you put the leg work in..... This is a beat that'll give you a good workout !!!
I think twelve or thirteen trout, and two plump ten inch grayling, like peas in a pod !!! Both hammered my dry fly !!! Think I went right to the top of the beat, over a five hour session here ..... superb fun as always.......Fish between six and ten Inches today, nothing huge but all absolutely nailed my dry fly offerings !!! Four fish that were risers, the rest prospecting ......
Mayfly on the go ....And quite a few too.... lovely to see ..... Must admit watched a few on the water .... didn't seem to be getting harassed..... lucky !!!
Well, looks like a weather warning for tommoz heavy thunder storms by all accounts, probably be thr rivers out for a few days ...was nice to squeeeeeeeeze in this session !!! Back here soon, maybe the Elan Valley tommorrow, choices choices !

12 Trout, 2 Grayling

Nothing caught, hot and bright. Access to the lower beat is challenging, but stunning beat with prolific hatches and fish rising in the slower pools.

2 caught on worm using a bubble float. 3 on the fly using a slow intermediate and blue flash damsel

Low ish but quite clear. SE wind. Mostly sunny. Caught on green gold head nymph using NZ method. Good fly life but only there for 4 hours from midday.

1 Trout

Lots of little brownies about, lost a good 1lb and a really nice 2/3lb fish at the bank before netting. Went through the wet fly, euro nymphing and dry. Wind and bright sunshine wasn’t helping but in between fishing was good. Had to leave at 5pm but the dry fly was coming to life then.
Unfortunately there is a great deal of algae/weed along this stretch of the Towy.
