Warm sunny day, fished for 3hrs in afternoon. River low but good flow. 1 x 6"trout on a klinkhammer. Missed 2 others. Very little rising.

Had a lovely day despite having no luck in catching fish. Lovely surroundings. I will return to try again.

The shady Honddu seemed a good bet to escape the heat and sun of the warmest day of the year so far! Low and slow as expected but practising ones best red indian tactics and watching and waiting bought good results. Eight to hand with a good number bouncing off too. Fish where in great nick and from 6 to 11 inch. Loads of fly life on the stones, mainly juvenile nymphs. Bodes well!

Had 90 minutes in the late afternoon and had a great bonus time! Not many rises but the trout were very willing to have a go at grey based para dries, landed 6, 3 at 8 to 10", 1 at 13" and 2 at 14" - the heavyweights were out! Shame I had to leave because I am sure the trout had not stopped, but very happy with this, and 10 overall from the Honddu on the day.

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.
