Feedback & Reports

A favorite beat of ours in an unbeatable setting. Lost my first trout within 5 mins and proceeded to lose a further 4 throughout the day (the others experienced the same), Penpont trout are the fattest I've ever seen, no slimmers world around here. Managed to land one, 16'' around the 2lb mark, 2 of the others lost were of a similar size. We left too early, should have waited for the spinners to fall which filled the air. One rod had 3 in 10 mins in the bridge pool just before we left at beer o clock.

Late report and sadly not much to report. Fished from 6am until 10am when canoe traffic meant an early finish. Nice water but no sign of salmon. JC managed one trout.

Few fishing showing Mick showed me so new runs that held fish but none took.

Tricky day with nothing showing and a chilling downstream wind. Surprisingly little action with just one fingerling hooked on weighted nymph. Nice water with doubtless potential for the patient and cautious

Very little evidence of fish rising but abundance of fly life. Excellent beat with varied pools and streams.Easily accessible and easy wading.Thank you to The WUF.
We will return.

River quite low today and water fairly cold. Not many fish rising. Both fish caught on A PTN . Great looking new fishing hut! Looking forward to returning for another outing on this most accessible beat in stunning surroundings.

A beat of three-thirds that I have not fished before. Bottom and top thirds are gorges over bed rock. The top particularly reminded me of Clettwr. I walked to the beat start but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are into rock climbing as the descent to the water was challenging. Also fishing the gorges was very challenging with gin-clear water and a low flow. All fish caught in the middle third which had a nice set of pools. Best fish was a feisty 12" WBT from the deepest pool. Walk back to the car was long and along busy roads.

Enjoyable day, good rise

Cloudy but warm day, wind a little strong but not noticed when on the river.
A frustrating day, only 5 trout between 4 and 6 inches to hand but at least three times that lost and even more missed.
Fished dry all day on small klinkhammers, all of the fish coming from tails of pools or slower water.
Fish rising all day but had to move very slowly because the river very low, consequently took me 8 hours to complete the beat!I should have caught loads more and I'm sure a better angler would have done.
Nice beat which was very varied, both in the water and the wading.
