Feedback & Reports

Caught 7 trout from 5-11". Most on a Black Magic nymph, one on a dry fly. Parked at the church - this section is very wild and challenging wading. Later on moved to the bridge further upstream - here the wading is easier.

Fished 11 till 1 with duo setup but no sign of fish today.
Parked at Vaynor church and walked down to the foot bridge.
Plenty of olives and sedge around so may revisit in a month to try again.

I fished from middle parking area up to the end below the reservoir. If you are not agile and fit don’t even think of fishing here. However if you are, this is a lovely gorge with pocket water and riffles. Trout between between 5 inch and 10 inch are prolific. Day was warm, 24deg and humid.
EHC and PTN worked all day.
Grand day on a lovely wild mountain section although only minutes from Merthyr Tydfil.
Thank you Wye and Usk Passport.

Water level was a bit too low so nothing caught but it's a lovely stretch of water and will definitely be back in better conditions.

A proper wild beat. found myself rock climbing almost as much as i was fishing, and had a great time!

3 beautiful wild brownies all jumping 4 feet in the air while fighting, all from the waterfall plunge pool.

all released.

not a beat for the faint hearted or people used to the stocked, manicured chalkstreams :)

Walked a good part, of the bottom half of the section but didn't see anything to cast a fly at, therefore, no fish to report. I was a little disappointed by the amount of rubbish & broken bottles.

Fished an evening with LW, new sec. of MTAA. The Fechan is essentially a tailwater - water temps are always cold even in a heatwave. We fished the upper area just under the dam. Plenty of fish about between 6 and 11 inches on nymphs and dry flies.

Sadly very very polluted (litter) from members of the public BBQing, drinking and swimming in the river over hot weather. Didn't fish, too depressing.
