Lovely strech of water for a couple of hours fishing. Could do with clearing up routed trees from the main pools.

What a BEAUTIFUL BEAT!!!!!!! Short session with the boy blunder, none caught but literally myriads of life under EVERY stone we turned over, large hatch of what looked March Browns and also loads of other what I call "flutter" flies! (no doubt an experienced fly fisherman would identify the type!).
Didnt see one rise though...although that was probably more to do with our clumsy wading! Session had to be cut short as twin granddaughters 3rd birthday beckoned! WILL DEFINITELY be visiting this beat again. Incidentally......on the way back to Builth just down the road from Hergest bridge came across an area of the river known as "The Common".....TROUT EVERYWHERE down there! please please WUF get us on there!!!

Weather was overcast with occasional shower and drizzle. The Edw was low and clear and water 58F. I was guiding. My client caught 15 trout, 3 just over the one llb. 2 fish took a dry fly, all the others were taken on a nymph. There was a reasonable hatch of stoneflies (needleflies?) around noon and a few autumn LDOs.
My client and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Lovely stream in a delightful part of Wales.

Nil return. River very low, hardly clearing the falls at top of the beat, but also a bright day. Plenty of salmon par, but only encountered one trout rise, fish size less than 50mm. Lower part of beat best, due to the growth of brambles, it was necessary to wade long distances (lack of exit points). Slight interest in an Adams but gold head best.

What a delightful stretch of river this is, lots of likely looking spots, plenty of fly life, and fish rising sporadically throughout. Fishing the duo, Adams klinkhammer and a pheasant tail nymph, caught fish on both the dry fly and the nymph throughout the beat. Nothing bigger than 6inches landed, though lost a couple that felt a bit bigger, and lost count of the amount of salmon parr I caught. Already looking forward to my next go at this beat.

A beautiful venue, would not have mattered if I did not catch (only two small browns) superb day! Thank you very much, I will be back!

Fished for 1 hour, upstream nymph. 1 trout circa 9"; hare's ear variant.

The river was very low and very clear but beautiful none the less. Every pool was dominated by Salmon Parr which beat the trout to the fly every time and left us a little frustrated. I suspect we would have seen more decent trout if we had been around in the evening. In the end we caught five Salmon Parr despite trying not to! Good news for Salmon stocks that there are so many parr in the river, but not so good for trying to catch Trout.
