Feedback & Reports

I spent a couple of hours fishing early afternoon from the top of the beat to the bottom. A huge amount of insect life but no sign of any fish rising or taking flies. This was my first time on the beat and it is always good fun to explore a new fishing spot.
The whole beat is lined by trees but it still okay to fish with some creative casting techniques.
I felt that this beat was less fish-able in low water than Lower Stanton above but that could just be my lack of local knowledge.
I'll be back to try again soon.

My first time on this lovely stretch. I fished the whole beat but didn't see or touch a fish. The middle pools in the steeper section over the pancake bedrock are fantastic and feel like (despite the evidence of my return) that a fish should be taking every time. I'm guessing this stretch improves when there is more water around. Although perhaps I need to work on my stealthy approach to the tiny pools.
Although I saw no action, this was a great way to spend an hour or so. The water was much clearer than on the Honddu which I fished in the morning and there was a lot less farm detritus on the banks.
I'll definitely be back to try again.

Great day, first time we'd fished this beat. Startd below the suspension bridge and worked up. Lots of fish on 'Klink and Dink' - brown Klinkhammer and size 18 nymph unerneath. Most fish caught on nymphs but a fair few to the dry. Biggest brown about 12 inches, biggest grayling about 14 inches. Deep nymphing by boards just below the suspension bridge worked very well. This is an amazing beat, so glad we booked it - thank you WUF.

Lovely day fishing on Taff Fechan. A really lovely beat that feels surprisingly remote and wild in places.
Had 5 wbt, including 1 beautiful fish close to 1lb. Fished the top of the beat, just down from the reservoir. All fish were caught on an elk hair caddis and fish were rising for most of the day.
Most productive time seemed to be from 12-2. The riffles and pocket water also worth focusing on

With the river being low the salmon rod was barely used and instead I spent a couple of hours dry fly fishing. I landed two brown trout, best 2.5lb, and lost a couple more. Quite a few Mayfly coming off.

No sign of fish. Raw and muddy water. Very good beat if condition is good...
