2 small brown trout taken on a PT nymph. Very little surface activity. Overcast conditions. This is a lovely beat with a lot of variety.

An absolutely stunning day in the Welsh hills, river slightly coloured and a few inches on the gauge at Brecon. Very mixed hatch throughout the day with trout looking up most of the time. As many fish missed as caught using tiny nymphs and drys. More than makes up for the blank in the early spring!

I caught eight brown trout at about five inches. I did not catch at all on the dry fly despite hatches coming off and rises by fish. I caught all fish on a team of three flies consisting a pheasant tail nymph on the point, a greenwell spider on the top dropper and a williams favourite on the middle dropper. A fish about twenty four inches carried my fly six yards and then spat it out, I am not sure what it was.

Had a couple of takes on a sherry spinner pattern in the broken water a couple of hundred metres below the bridge at the upper beat limit. No fish brought to the net.
Nothing by way of an evening rise with only the odd fish moving.
The easiest access to the water on this beat is right at the upper limit. My wading staff was used mostly to get up and down the steep banks.

River coloured but quite a few trout seen. One salmon that had been in the river some time made a fleeting appearance.

The river was rather coloured. The expected evening rise did not really occur. A couple of trout were missed and one caught. Very few insects hatching, so not surprised about the lack of rise.

Fly fishing. River carrying slight colour. All fish returned. Two fish of 14", two of 12", the rest 6 - 7". Quiet during the day, with all fish caught in the evening on sherry spinner patterns.

Sunny & hot. River clear and very low. The largest fish I caught was 8 ounces, all fish were caught in the tail ripples of the pools

The fish were caught in the early to mid afternoon. The conditions were patchy sunshine and cloud. All fish were caught on dull coloured nymphs fished where the riffles reach calmer water.
