Feedback & Reports

My first time trying this beat and it won’t be the last! Beautiful canopy covered stream but still good amount of space to flick a sideways cast away (mostly!). Arrived around 9am and hit back to car at 12:30 ish. Didn’t fish the full beat as needed to get back. I’m intrigued what it’s like where the banks become more gorge like! Stuck with a dry and managed 5 to hand with another 5-10 missed or long range releases. Plenty of insect life but no free rising fish, so prospecting likely holding runs brought them up to the dry. Bedrock wading fine….very different to my local Arrow stream bed though.

Lovely day weather wise , no fish caught, maybe weather to hot.

Lovely way to spend an evening of about 3 hours fishing. Caught 3 small trout the largest of which was about 8 inches long .All caught on red/brown bodied cdc Lots of fly life about from 8 onwards including quite a few mayflies which they didn’t seem bothered about

3 Trout

Both on worm on the bottom. On one of the hottest days of year after trekking to the cove from the dam wall car park I discovered that I had left my drinks in the fridge at home. A shout out to the two young lads from Caerphilly that gave me a cold bottle of water to enable me to keep fishing and not dehydrating.Thanks guys.

Great to be back on the Hergest beat although running low. All caught on deer hair/cdc dry fly,they didn't seem interested in the same pattern but elk hair.
I lost more than I caught and missed more than I lost,These small Edw trout were to quick for me today,great 3 1/2 hr session

Nothing caught

I traveled to the lakes with the hope and intention of doing some fishing but in the event, the temperature was 30 degrees in the shade with unremitting hot sunshine so I walked around the lakes but did not fish.

Scorching hot day (31 degrees!) for my first visit to Upper Tower Fishery so conditions were difficult. Walked the beat in the morning, plenty of fish rinsing, marked for later.
Returned late afternoon to fish into the evening. Managed to rise a few on dries but only connected with 1 that came off at the net. I think the heat had taken its toll!
New parking space, stiles and pool/run signs are great additions. I’ll certainly be back, perhaps when it’s a little cooler!

Didn’t start fishing until 6pm due to the heat so only had a couple of hours. Ten trout up to about 1lb and one oos grayling that was easily 2lb, most on nymphs in riffles and then a few on dries later on. One of the most scenic beats I’ve ever fished

10 Trout, 1 Grayling

Another lovrly session under the canopy ...Haven't fished Creggy for a few weeks tbh....
She's low and in need of a good flush through ...I temp dipped river with my thermometer, and she's at 16 degrees.... slowly creeping up, keep a watch on these temps folks !!!
Fished between 11 and 2:15 pm .... great dry fly sport in fairness , even in glides above the bridge, which is only a couple of feet, in places, tops !!! Lovely rising a fish on the dry there ... they go nuts in the shallow water !!!! 13 to the net, sizes between six and eleven inches.... all on thd dries ......
Mayfly on the go, throughout the beat, they're well and truly enjoying them, although I was happy fishing not to big a dry tbh ... Big bushy mohican mays just don't have the pinpoint accuracy I like !! And, there devils for spinning your line and leader ....
Did my good deed by releasing "Larry" the Lamb...Seriously caught up in stock fencing... You can definately see why they end up, nestled between the mashed potatoe and peas !!! Thick as mince ....lol !!!
A sublime session on an old favourite ....not easy at the moment, and in serious need of rain!!!
It'll be the River Elan and Afon Claerwen outflows for me if these temps creep up to 19 degrees on the wild streams, then of course, its a no go on the fishing side of things ....
Out with clients tommoz and Thurs on the rivers .... Hoping its a tad cooler ...... ppffftttttt !!!!
