Feedback & Reports

I hadn't been here for a couple of seasons and it was barely recognisable. Water was looking fresh and clear after recent thunder storms. Winkled a few out of the faster water with the Tenkara rod and a small kebari. Gave up after a couple of hours as the wind was making it very difficult to control the line.

A sublime session on a local beat ....Nice being back on the streams, having had clients on guided days on Nantymoch reservoir, and the Elan Valley Lakes, along with Claerwen Reservoir...Thoroughly enjoyable and , fab sport on the big wild waters in fairness....... Happy clients....happy days !!!
Dry fly sport all the way, as is always the case with Me on the streams. I feel after the mayfly, they are well and truly looking up on a daily basis !!! Lovely splashy aggressive hits today on this old favourite beat !!! Lost count after sixteen, but maybe a few more, not sure in fairness..... .. Also, a few long range, very polite trout self released!! So kind !!!!
Fish all between six snd nine inches ...always good little scrappers here .... Great bold takes to my dry ..
Half to risers, half prospectively cast to likely trouty areas ...Here they always take you by surprise .... bang nailing it just as you're watching a butterfly !! Oh well ....Great sport today
Looks lousy overnight, but, much needed rain to be honest ....Might squeeze in another stream tommorrow if it's not tooooooooo heavy rain, see how the mop flops !!!
Then, it's clients out again Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday...All on the big reservoirs, or mountain llyns . ...... lovely job!!! Right, cuppa time .......

Very changeable weather, more like April than June. River still low and clear, but the fish were happy to take the dry fly today.

The poor old Ithon is looking low tired and dirty to be honest!!!! Hard going today with regards to finding any decent fish ....
Small stuff only to my dries and surprisingly
Two small chubb !!! Never seen them here .....
Lots of jnsect life on the go ... a very hot one , mid Summer temps today !!! This river needs a mega flush through .... and some serious water to make it fun again ....I'll leave this one till we get rain ...
Went on to thf Wye at Builth later, and managed half a dozen on.dries .... great fun !!
A lot of thr rivers are screaming for a top up .... looks like I'll be taking clients on the Wye and the Elan which is at least cold outflow from Cabsn Coch Reservoir.....

All the fish from fast flowing water. Not a single rise on slower areas.

Very low again but a lovely evening - great time of year to be on the river bank. Both fish taken on small nymphs.

First outing on the wild streams this season. Quiet, only fish seen rising hooked and lost.

Very, very low and nothing seen. Fished the lower beat for an hour or so on a lovely warm evening - lots hatching. Rain forecast for next week! ????

Just a quick shimmy up the top section of the beat , she's in dire need of a good flush through to be honest...Warm and fifteen degrees when i bowled up at the bridge parking area ....
On arrival, some olives and sedge on the go, and also some large brook duns .....
Not much surface activity in fairness...A slow slow wade up a very low river ...The usual locations produced . One was to a riser, the others,caught prospecting in likely water !! Certainly a good five inches extra on height Is needed, just to put some zest back into the Ithon.....
Parts of the Wye at Builth yesterday in the slow stuff , were festooned with that bloody aweful bright green algae !!!!! Rain needed, lots of it too !!!
Fish were of the usual stamp here today, and cracker of perhaps ten inches, the other two seven and eight respectively.....
A fun session from two till four .... back home nd hose the garden afain I suppose !!! Happy days ......
