Feedback & Reports

Heavy rain during the night so checked the gauge and it was just about safe so headed to the beat. When I arrived at 8am, the river was dark brown so no possibility of catching on the fly. I only had until 2pm to fish and the river would not be clearing sufficiently before then so headed home.

Not a good day: night before had a terrible thunder storm and plenty of rain. The river was in flood and like chocolate. Arrived at 7 am walked the beat till 12pm no sign of letting up. looks a good beat thou, will try again.

river was swollen and coloured from overnight rain ..beautiful scenery!

River becoming increasingly coloured as the morning progressed. Got a couple of early fish to dry fly but by 11:00 visibility was down to around six inches - so went home for lunch!

Bright sun and clear water made for tricky conditions. There are still access issues along the lower section and I had to ask a none-too-happy farmer to walk through their garden on the way up and back down the beat to avoid clambering over barbed wire fences. 7 wbt on dry fly and nymph. Most were 1/2 - 3/4lbs but I managed one larger fish weighing 3lbs at 22inches. Very hard work with most of the risers in flat water or tucked away beneath overhanging branches.

2 very pretty brown trout, biggest pushing 2lb, both taken on a coch-y-bonddu dry fly and both returned.

2 fish taken. Lots of mayfly but relatively few fish rising. Fish taken on mayfly nymph. River looks healthy and lovely location /scenery. Wading harder than the description but maybe this was partly due to strong flow of the river

River coloured but could still see the bottom caught on nymphs high sticking at close range. Lost 6.
