Sunny all day, although quite shaded on this beat which is helpful given the crystal clear water. Many flies of all sorts hatching all day, but not many rising fish. Still persevered with small grey hued dries, landed 5 from 7 to 12" and missed a lot- mainly my fault as I saw the fish coming and tightened too soon. 4 that I landed (and 2 I missed) came from just one run - elsewhere it was one rise or nothing. No idea why!!

Caught one on para adams and one on klinkhammer. Missed 2 others (maybe I'm rusty from the winter). I probably could have caught more by nymphing but having just moved to the UK from US, and having fished nymphs all winter there, wanted to stay on top. Beautiful small stream with some nice runs and holes at this water level.

Foolishly thought I might get a day's fishing in but as I feared river is incredibly high and fast following bad weather, so no fishing possible

Fished up,for a couple of hours and didn't see a fish. Neither rising nor spooked. Gave up and whilst walking back noticed a surprisingly fresh trail through the undergrowth and the car that was parked at the start had gone. Wonder if we had had a visitor?
Never mind. Still a lovely beat. Looking forward to next season.

Beautiful stream - raised and missed a fish, but not many signs of trout otherwise - was a lovely day out though.

My first time here. I had fished Upper Longtown in the morning a thought I would try this river before moving down to the Dinas beat on the Usk the following day. What a superb river. Wading the fast tumbling water was carried out with great care...and wading stick. I fished a very short line upstream using a two spider rig anchored by a weighted PTN. One fish caught in a fast riffle about twenty yards up from the bridge. All the rest were taken closer to the fallen tree and in the slacker water above the riffles. I only fished for two hours but will most certainly return next year and give myself time to fish more of this fantastic and challenging stretch of water.

This is a fantastic spot and I really enjoyed fishing here. No pressure or traffic of any kind. Had at least 10 takes off the dry fly through out the day, Purple Haze worked particularly well for that as well as the parachute adams. Would have been even more fun if I were quicker to set the hook. Also one on the gold head pheasant tail nymph. Both netted fish were WBT. Can't wait to return.
