Feedback & Reports

Part of the Wild Streams Day organised by the Lugg and Arrow Foundation.
River a little coloured but pretty good conditions. No real surface action till two nice fish spotted rising under the far bank. So managed to get both on a Grey Wulfe. Others on a submerged nymph.Difficult day with too bright sunshine.
Enjoyed the gathering and felt the day did a lot to encourage beginners.

4 Trout

Caught 2 tiddlers and got smashed twice.

Nil. Bit of a freak heatwave - 22 degrees - in Brecon for the 3 hours I had spare to fish the beat on Saturday. The fish must have gone to the beach for the day :). Wish I had!

3 carp - 2 common and 1 fully scaled mirror. Fish weren't weighed but would be in the 23 to 25 inch length bracket. All were caught on sweet corn

Spinning fly coloured water

Caught on a parachute Adam late afternoon.

2 Trout

No fish on this occasion

No luck with Adams or parachute Adams despite rises and some interest.

Started off with czech nymphing faster water in front of caravan park, then moved upstream to deeper water. Saw several smaller fish rise and take emerges just under the surface but could not (despite my extensive fly collection) find the right drift / pattern they were feeding on. Weather cloudy at first, then sunny with a light wind downstream, temperature mild.
Think it a nice beat but clearly need some guidance on how to catch these fish, especially patterns and method).
All in all a good day out, however disappointing that I did not land any fish :-(

No fish (salmon) caught / seen, fished deeper pools top of beat as I would have thought it the best place to find fish. Need advice on patterns used together with techniques. Met two other fishermen who fished downstream from us but no success from their end either. That's fishing or you...
