Feedback & Reports

Water low and clear but plenty of trout feeding in the runs. Towards the top end of the beat I spotted an eel about 60 cm long in one of the pools. Trout up to 12" caught.

First time on the beat for both of us. One fished by the fishing Hut and the other the 'Lucky Stone' . Relatively quiet during the day, sun was up. Sport picked up late afternoon / evening. All fish caught on mix of meat and pellet, on feeder method. Nothing on the float. Lots of kit lost due to deep weed beds. Barbel to 8lb 12oz and all chub over 4lb.
The walk around the woods was hard work, and I am relatively fit. It incorporates a decent hill. Forget a trolley , there are a number of steps and gates. Take light kit...then make it lighter! Don't try and cut through the wood where the land slide is marked, it is too dangerous wet or dry if you are carrying kit.
Great location, beautiful rural location, a few local dog walkers on the hut side, but courteous.

Been wanting to give the Lower Cilieni a bash for ages , so mooched off to the Parc Fishery near Sennybridge this morning , arriving near the bridge pull in at ten fifteen . . . . Could hear the river and to be honest nearly did an about turn to the Llynfi at Pontithel , but decided to give it a bash even though it was a bit coloured and running a bit high still from yesterday's rain. . . . . .

Bimbled down to bottom.of beat , were it meets the Usk , lovely looking stream and great variety of water , deep pools nice dry fly runs and riffles and some great nymphing water too . . . Which I initially started on , a small Copper John , caught a lovely seven inch brownie, searching the water was tricky below the bridge as pacey and coloured , wading was pretty tough too , as couldn't see the bottom !!

Cracked on , and further up above the bridge is more open water , sort of reminds me of the Lugg and in places the Llynfi , some lovely water, so changed to a Parachute Olive , and had two in quick succession , lovely little fast feisty fish, fourth one was from slower deeper water , and an absolute beauty , about eleven or twelve inches , superb markings too and quickly slipped back in , a lovely take on the Parachute dry too !!!!!

Last fish again on the Para Olive , was a small feisty fish in the faster shallower water , shame it was coloured up, reckon a lot more fish would have come up to my prospected dry , oh well a lovely four hours here , and five superbly marked Cilieni brownies to hand , great fun will definitely head here again soon , in lower clearer conditions , which will be really fun I think . . . . A fun morning in a peaceful valley . . . . Spot on !!!!!!!!

The evening ticket gave me two and a half hours of excellent fishing. Conditions were perfect. Although nothing much was showing on the surface I tempted a steady stream of fish from the depths with a small Griffith’s Gnat. Six Grayling and two Brown Trout to the net with a number of self released and near misses.
