Feedback & Reports

I took my Grandson fishing and although we caught one very nice brown trout of about 12 inches, that was the only fish caught in about 6 hours. Not very exciting for a potential new angler and very expensive at £32.

Was lovely turning up at a favourite beat at half eight , only fished the two hours as had a pressing meeting in Builth later on ..... murky when I tackled up, my lovely little six foot two weight rod .........
I know from past experience fish are still prepared to smash dries in a coloured river here, so opted for my favourites for here, in size eighteen .....
Good fun from the off, nothing big today in a tally of seven , three long range releases also, slippy on the barbless hooks today !!! Was cool when I parked up , reading ten degrees in my truck but the fog soon lifted, with some upwings on the go and the odd sedge ...... fish smashing the dry in prospected fishy places, and just had the one riser .... lovely confident hit to my fly !!!
Must admit getting a bit of a jungle here, I cut out into the field just a hundred yards up from the Bridge..... resembling Belize up there!!! May give the Cammarch or another Edw beat a bash early bells tommorrow, lovely being on the streams after a month off them, enjoying the mountain llyns and reservoirs around my local patch in Rhayader .... a really pleasant two hours on a cracking little technical beat..... Happy days!!!!!

Fishing becomes more challenging on the way up. Don't be put off by the overgrowth, there's rivers and streams out there with much denser banks than this. Like most streams and becks, the fish are small but compensate with their beauty.
As it is a first visit, I'm not sure what the water clarity is usually like but today the beck was flowing with a dark tea colour. Nymphs used today were copper olive jigs and holographic blue ribbed hares ears.

I recommend using a single nymph and have a vary of different sized beads depending on the flow and depth as the bed is snaggy from the rocks.

Hot and sunny. Other was a dace. Hook pull on a Leviathan that I didn't see. Big barbel or perhaps salmon or carp.

Caught 2 Rainbows and 1 Brown between 5am and 11am. Fish rising freely early morning and I caught the first Rainbow on a Stimulator dry fly around 6am. Much less surface activity as the morning went on. The Brown and the second Rainbow both fell to a Pheasant Tail Nymph on a slow retrieve.

Flt fishing on a very warm day. River was clear but with good flow. I saw some huge chub, but sadly I scared them off before I could get close.
Access is a little adventurous due to the high bank, but if you look for the blue pipes sticking up, they mark where access points have been cut into the bank.
I did catch 7 minnows not sure if they count!?

Chub feeding well early in the day, the bites became fewer as the day progressed, to be expected as the sun became hotter !
