Fished evening - nil return but beautiful surroundings.

2 Brown trout caught (estimated 1.5 to 2 lb). One on a teal blue and silver and the other on a black pennel. Water level high which significantly reduced the amount of fishable water but still plenty on the South Western side. Managed to fall in while wading near the river at the southern end (beware the sudden drop-off!) but warm enough to carry on soggy. Lovely location, will be back.

Nil return. Beautiful place to fish, but no luck.

11 small brown trout ~6 inches returned to resevoir to grow bigger. Taken on cast of Cruncher, PTN & Zulu.

Nil Return. One fish hooked on a partridge and orange but lost after 10 seconds.

Rain and wind all day, one on, then off, to a pheasant tail, a couple of tugs, that was it for the day. Great location.

Really great place to fish but the weather was against us - driving rain and wind. Started at the top end (could have done with a slight addition to the notes to indicate that this was where the hot spot for trout was - we had to take a chance that the ranunculus beds were at that end). Worked the shore as hard as we could but after a hard wet day only managed one 8 oz brown - hard won, but half a brace is better than none, particularly considering the conditions.

Nothing taken.
I think the Wye and Usk foundation website and booking system is excellent. Will certainly use in the future to explore some fishing around the Brecon area.
