Feedback & Reports

Having fished Aberbwtran in the morning and first time in the area I looked in on this beat. Only fished for an hour and covered the first few pools. Fishing duo on my Tenkara rod I had 1 on the Sedge dry and 3 on a bead nymph all around 8 inches. Definitely worth another look.

The river was running low, and clear with very little fly life in the morning.
Started on nymphs and picked up a few fish, as the day went on a few fly started to come off and by mid afternoon switched to a dry and the fish seemed happy to rise, there were a few Yellow Sallys amongst a mixed hatch.
Its a long beat and I only fish the lower section but there are some lovely pools and in better conditions I imagine it could fish well.

With significant rainfall to bring up the levels, a very picturesque and interesting beat, but for our visit no fish seen

I fished the lower section in the morning , no sign of fish or insects..saw goosanders and a mink. Gave up around midday , too early in the season I guess.

tough conditions. two small wbt

Since this was the first time on this beat and it being fairly local to me I was prepared for it to be a recce. I fished the lower half of the beat and didn't complete the whole of it. No fly life to speak of so I prospected with nymphs. Hard going with no sign of fish at all until around 2 pm when the only take of the day occurred..a really powerful 14" trout that took a size 16 tungsten bead PTN and put up a serious fight. Interesting beat with plenty of deep pools easy wading but flowing over gravel and silt with little cover for fish or the angler. I look forward to another go when flies are hatching and fish rising.
