Feedback & Reports

Second consecutive evening. No fish. Small rises at heads of pools but not interested in my offerings. Tonight I tried a dropper rig, size 14 grey wulf trailing a brown nymph size 18. Nothing. Finally found a feeding fish in the lower beat but on the wrong side of the drag under the trees, behind a log!

Plenty of flies but no rises. Two nice trout on nymph nothing on dry.

Only fished the evening from 7.30pm-9.30pm. Very few rises and obviously small and weren’t interested to any May fly and smaller dry offerings or emergers. Will try again tonight with a nymph off dry. Any advise gratefully received!

Great access.
Struggled with the bright sunshine, however my son caught 2 and lost 5 decent trout at the net doing the euro nymphing technique.
Very few risers.
We shall return!

After a morning without an offer the evening was fruitful with some excellent quality trout netted and released to swim off powerfully . The fish fell to dry medium olive patterns . Following a vigorous fight , the heaviest fish was around 2lbs ,with the rest on the 1lb mark. An enjoyable day on a classy, easily accessible, beat.

What was forecast to be a dull and overcast day turned out to be bright and sunny. River could do with some rain - already at summer levels. Good hatch of olives from around 11:30 to 13:00, with the occasional mayfly also coming off. Only rises were from small fry - but I covered them anyway as you can never be sure. No interest in my offerings, so switched to nymphs in the creases of the faster runs. Pricked a couple and watched the occasional fish take a look - but nothing to the net. A frustrating days fishing! Time to start fishing the evenings??

A calmer day with a much better evening rise. Saw two dead fish in the river in the long pool downstream of the parking area in the field. Lots of fun in a beautiful spot.

Windy but sunny day. Noted lots of blanket weed on the rocks. Hatches patchy and sporadic, but we had a lot of fun.

First time on Dinas , very enjoyable beat.

No joy on nymphs/wets but fortunately a small rise late on . Two sizeable trout landed and a few rises missed.
