Thoroughly enjoyed our session on this beautiful beat, but only hooked one which fought like mad and threw the hook before I could net it. Will be back - keen to get to know how to match whatever hatch is going on....

Targeted salmon most of the day as water level and salmon pools looked ideal should there have been any fish around. Overcast conditions with some showers. Switch rod used. Very good beat despite no fish on this occasion.

What a day to start the season! Glorious sunshine although there was a cold breeze and the river was cold too. Sporadic hatches of olives and sedges throughout the day and the occasional March brown …. Most activity from the fish around midday. 4 beauties to hand between us 13 to 20 inches on grey parachute and ginger jingler. Wonderful to be back in the river, and in the fields the wild flowers were blooming and the first lambs arriving

Fished the top end of the estate. Great stretch of water and wading wasn’t too tricky.
Managed to get a take on a caddis nymph (will attach picture of it) but he managed to wriggle off.
Will definitely be back next season.

Little sign of fly activity or rising fish. Water level was low but clarity pretty good.
The two small trout caught were returned.
There was another group fishing the beats which was unexpected so we did not fish our favoured sections.

Only had a few hours fishing, had to resort to nymphing as there was no hatch and no rising fish to target with a dry fly. Harry did say evening was the best time, sadly we had to leave at 3pm to get back to Sussex. Lovely river, would happily fish there again.

Great to kick off our fishing weekend at Glanusk, which is a very varied beat. There was not much of a hatch from 12pm when we began to assemble. 3 fish up to a pound fell to PTN nymphs. The evening hatch however was excellent. A real smorgasbord of pretty much any fly you can think of, with the trout rising freely in the lower stretches of the lower beat. However, working out exactly what they were rising to was much harder. I think I changed my fly about 7 times! We picked up a couple eventually on small pale olive dries but I suspect they were feeding on spinners that we had no pattern for. A good day and on to Dan y parc for the next days fishing!

Lower beat. River very low after weeks of no rain, very shallow on rapids and deeper water with poor flow. No fish rising despite hatching buzzer, olives and a few mayfly but managed 2 on a weighted GRHE nymph. Lovely spot but needs at least another meter depth.

River very low and bright hot day. Upper beat including bridge pool but little moving despite steady hatch of olives and mayfly.
