My first visit to this beat. What an impressive variety of water - fast runs, gravel flats, pools - something for everyone. Caught 4 WBT @ 10" - 12" on #14 parachute Adams plus 1 OOS dace from the flats above the bridge.

My thanks to the ladies at the WUF office. I asked for easy wading and that's just what they delivered, making it a very enjoyable days fishing.

No fish caught. Arrived in the evening and fished for a couple of hours. River very low. Steady hatch and a few fish rising, but almost impossible to get into range for a cast as they were so easily spooked in these conditions.

Both rods blanked. Plenty of fish rising.

Arrived at 9am, began fishing rock pool, water low for time of year, 4-5 small trout of between 5-10" and a very energetic dace of around 12" all on a gold head hares ear and returned unharmed.
After lunch I spent the afternoon fishing dry fly at and below the bridge 3 small trout caught on a greenwells spider, all returned, one fish with recient injury (classic pike bite pattern)first signs of a mayfy hatch around 4 o-clock as I was leaving.
Thanks for a fascinating day on a truly beautifull river.

Seven trout to 14", all on dry fly (Greenwells).

Stunning beat with good parking and access to the river.
Decent olive hatch pretty much throughout the day along with sherry spinners and a trickle of Mayfly.
Concentrated on the top half of the beat in the faster water. Managed 5 wbt on olive nymphs, best a really handsome 12" fish. All returned safely.

Stayed at the Coach House in Brecon which deserves a mention for a memorable cooked breakfast!

1 wbt, about 10 inches on a mayfly imitation. Lots of fish rising, but despite trying lots of different flies struggled to get much interest.

Cold, blustery wind, showers. Caught a small chub on a dry fly, just below the bridge, otherwise quite a slow day, with only 4 w.b.t. around the 10 inch mark. Nice day. All fish taken on dries.

8 Brownies, 2 river 6 wier. Hard fishing.

10 Brown Trout to 13", 1 x Grayling 14". Mayfly hatching. Fish easily scared due to low water.
