Feedback & Reports

Challenging days fishing due to bright conditions. Fish very picky and only responding to very light tackle (8x leader - size 20 flies) despite excellent hatches. 2 caught and returned. Excellent day.

10 or so 8 inch browns on various dry flies one fish to about 1 1/4lb.

Very hot and sunny Sunday afternoon and the world and his wife were on the river, but it is amazing how quickly everyone disappeared! By about five when the river started to look good again I had it back to myself. Wyebank is a lovely bit of fly water and a joy to fish even with my limited casting ability. No fish seen but did have a good put towards the bottom of the beat. Saw the biggest hatch of olives I've ever seen!

Rainbow Trout x 1. Weight 24ozs. Caught on worm near the main car park, A470 side of the reservoir. I think it was suicidal as that was the only bite we had all day. Caught
at 3pm.

I guided on Llangoed. 2 adult anglers. Fish rising in the lower section in the early morning, then hardly any activity. Very sparse fly life. Catch was 2 brown trout, one grayling, one shad (accidental by-catch). All returned. A large number of shad seen moving in the river.
Water temperature started at 64, rose to 66 by mid-day and 70 by late afternoon (Orchard Pool). This is an extraordinarily high temperature and I fear it is very stressful for trout and grayling. The one grayling caught came from deep water in the Orchard and took a long time to revive.

No trout caught.

Very hot day and bright not ideal conditions. No fish (only 1 salmon showed all day).
On a poorer note would the person who fished before me please tidy their mess up at the hut in future ruins a beautiful place.

Went through Rock Pool and Wood Stream for salmon. No takes and none showing. Water .55m and very warm. Fished off staging until 21.45. Very sparse hatch.

A glorious hot sunny day with a little cloud cover in the late afternoon. River at 10" on the Brecon gauge.
Two small hatches of mayfly during the day, but disappointingly no rising fish. We caught 22 fish, all on gold headed PTN. Best fish 2 lbs - 4 fish in 1-2lbs range
the remaninder around 1/2lb ( all returned). Curiously the fish went off when the cloud cover came and resumed feeding again when the sun came out! A really delightful day on this lovely beat.

Very hot day. Not many rises. Caught 5 trout. 6" to 13".
Kept and ate the 13 incher, rest returned.
