Feedback & Reports

Great day, the fish had evidently done their homework over the winter. They were in all the right place, rising gently to the very varied hatch, BWO, sedges, smaller Upwings and even better, my Klink; and the odd mayfly, which they ignored. Largest about 12" and a couple of 6".
The water was beautifully clear but surprisingly low and the surrounding countryside was quite dry.
It really is a lovely river & the Seven Stars does an incomparable Butty Bach.

Nice day on a very pretty small stream. One issue, we walked too far as the information says we would pass both a foot bridge and a road bridge. It seems that the foot bridge was washed away some time ago and thus based on counting bridges we carried on after the road bridge believing it to be what was referred to as a foot bridge. The beat information should be updated to reflect that in fact the first bridge one comes to is the end of the lower section of this beat.

Another afternoon livin the dream !!!! Perfect weather and river looking perfect too ... parked up at half twelve .... a few upwings on the go, but the fish didn't really get going till half two in fairness... although I did tempt some wanting an early brunch with a size 18 iron blue!!! ..... lively smash takes in the faster water ... some tubby fish today too in a bag of fifteen ... sizes from six to eleven inches .... feisty Edw scrappers too !!! Lovely job !!
As the mayfly and olives started showing more the fish were looking up big time ... used my usual six foot, two weight ... great for here to be honest ... just dapping the dry in the fast stuff got a response !! Short accurate casts today won the fish !! Well , most anyway, still some long range releases!! In fact quite a few ...lol !!!
Got out hundred yards past that plush house on the right bank..... a fab few hours ... was actually quarter past five when i got out !!@ loved the afternoon ... fantastic .... Time for a mooch down into Rhayader and a scoop in The Crown me thinks!!! Weeeeell , be rude not to hey !!!

Water rarely over the top of my wading boots. Fished for an hour before calling it a day. 1 x 8" wbt saved my blushes.

Spoke to a local on the way back to my car. Said it was the lowest the river had been in 90 years and struggling to recover with hard ground and low aquifers. Quite depressing really.

River exceptionally low, very few pools viable. Managed and returned 4wbt to 10".

6 fish landed and at least as many rose with splashy rises. Biggest fish 13 inches. Para Caddis, EHC, Royal Wulff and PTN did the job. River very low and fish are very timid. I spooked quite a few. Fished until 2030 with the biggest of the day coming deep into injury time. Lovely day in paradise.

Thank you Fishing Passport.

River quite low but enough flow to make for an enjoyable day. Six wbt caught and returned, similar amount lost due to early season rustiness!! Taken on a trusty Adams Para. Highlight of the day a 14" clonker which is a reminder of how big Edw trout can go in this gem of a river. Great day's fishing, thank you WUF.
