Lots of fly life and rising fish before the wind got up around midday. The trout were feeding hard on olives, suplhurs and the odd mayfly. All fish were over a pound and the biggest 2 3/4lb. Epic hatches all through the beat while it was calm with fish taken on DHE and CDC emergers. When the wind got up it felt like there were fish in the river.

Only 2 of the 3 anglers on the day as one could not make the journey.

Water was clear and running well and looked lovely however, we only ended up fishing for a few hours as we had a hard day at Pantysgallog the day before and wading was hard and we felt it the following day plus the weather turned for the worst in the afternoon.

On the down side the Sycamore trees were shedding their flower husks and the water surface in places was difficult to fish due to surface debris but this will clear as quickly as it drops on the surface.

All fish nice and good sport nothing over 1lb though and we hooked and lost a couple.

Flies again were weighted spiders and small dry flies, lots of fish rising but hard to tempt not knowing the water well, i would imagine a bit of local knowledge would be worth obtaining.

Stayed at Ynysfaen camp site in the Brecon hills 10 mins drive away, all facilities were fantastic as were the owners Elaine and Duncan and very reasonably priced. Merco garage on route does a great breakfasts in the cafe and the Londis shop is ideal for all your needs.

Waders essential not many bank casting opportunities that we found and some of the areas were very deep, also very slippery on the rocks even with studs, done quite a lot of sliding and pirouetting but thankfully didn't completely fall in.

Will be going back as soon as we can.
