River coloured but cleared as the day wore on. Best trout 14”

Water was high and murky, no takes all day.

We arrived at the water when it was 1.5ft on the Brecon gauge but very coloured. There was a little bit of visibility in the margins but otherwise it looked grim. We decided to give it a go in the hope that it would clear through the day. There was a sparse hatch of LDOs but a couple of brilliant hatches of March Browns. No fish rose to the March Browns but one or two came up for the LDO emergers. Only one succumbed to our dry flies, the rest of our fish being taken on spiders and nymph. The water cleared somewhat by mid afternoon but it was still pretty coloured. An enjoyable day and we ended up with 7 more fish than we thought we would when we first saw the state of the water.

This is such a beautiful but seemingly barren section of river. No fly life, nor fish life seen or encountered. Zero fry, parr or minnows on the entire stretch pretty much sums up the sorry state of the Wye and the foreseeable future...

Trout caught with Melos spinners. Both brown trout were around 12 inches and looked healthy. All fish returned. The Angling association was very helpful in providing locations to fish and best methods to use.
