Water pushing through at a pace, and very cold. Sporadic fly life throughout the day, but no fish rising to them. DJ managed 2 trout, both caught with nymphs and safely returned.

Very nice beat but access is very tricky so unless you are fit I wouldn’t recommend this beat. We only saw 3 fish rise all day. We tried all techniques except euronymphing which may have been the best method as although there was plenty of fly life (olives and midges) the fish were not showing in the top layer of the water column. Awesome weather and a great day despite blanking.

River still fairly high at 0.576 on the Brecon gauge. Two or three bursts of fly hatching trout rising from 12.15 for half an hour or so, then all quiet. Warm and sunny. Good to see some improvements to access. Electric fence keeping in the bullocks in the first field. Japanese knotweed getting a grip at the top of the beat.
One fish caught, but it was a good one. 17 inches and very fat. Good to see this beat still produces some good trout.

River was high and whilst we fished hard all day unfortunately for zero return. Nice stretch of water,

Have to say I was really very disappointed with this beat. I’ve been before and use the wye Usk foundation a fair amount but the access to this beat is abysmal. I counted three potential access points along the whole beat. Whether it’s the cost involved to get this improved I don’t know, but I know I’m not the first to have this problem. If this is the situation in March it will only get worse as the foliage develops.
I gave up and went to Abernant and was rewarded with a lovely chunky grayling. Sorry to moan and I really appreciate the quality of the fishing you offer and am happy for this to be a charitable donation.

A lot of water pushing through and still a bit of colour in the water. No real hatches but saw the odd LDO in the air. Saw the root ball of some Japanese Knot weed that had been washed out on the right bank two thirds of the way up near where the trib enters the main river. Might be worth taking look before it gets a hold. Thanks W&U :-) .

River heavily discoloured and unfishable.

Fished an evening ticket - blank. Had about 8 takes but one of those days, I just could not connect with them. Mostly smaller fish which hit like lightning, but at least a couple of decent fish too - they just didn't stick today. Lovely place to be as usual though!
