Feedback & Reports

A beautiful day fishing a beautiful beat. We had to cope with a stiff upstream wind but the fish were rising steadily throughout the day. We concentrated on Lady Alexandra's Catch fishing the dry and swinging traditional spiders, catching fish to just under the pound mark. I was joined by my 15 year old nephew who managed to catch a few brownies and two out of season grayling using spiders. He loved it. We also saw two double-figure salmon leap from the top of the run too! We will be back.

What a stunning beat. Very bright sunny day. No big fish landed but still a great day. Will have to return as this beat definitely has more to offer.

6 Trout, 5 Grayling

1'1 on the gauge, clear water. One disinterested fish showing in Lady Alexandra pool but no salmon caught. A fair few trout landed, all released. Thank you.

Fishing partner (Russell Hill) hit a fresh moving fish at 10:45am on a surface fished black & yellow tube that sadly threw the hook in the tail out of Lady Alexandra.
Shortly after I managed a slightly coloured resident cock fish around 7-8lbs on a orange Ally's shrimp pattern fished on a short leader & a sink 3 MOW tip. Hooked/landed/safely returned in the head of Lady Alexandra.
Water still dropping and clearing but what a fly fishing beat this is! Love it.. No more fish seen for the rest of the day sadly but plenty of healthy Trout.

2 small trout and 2 grayling on Greenwell glory fly. Lovely day.

Bright sunny day and quite windy. No fly life on the water and all fish taken on nymphs.

Nil return apart from a few hours spent targeting the trout.

Drove through some very wet conditions to arrive on a river that was still low but just starting to rise. Started downstream & fishing was very sporadic with the odd trout taken in the faster glides.
Lady Alexander Catch produced 3 more small trout & a lean 12oz grayling before taking a large 1.5lb trout by the fallen tree.
2 Canoeists had camped further upstream by the Edw & made for an exit on my arrival - I wasn't up to speed with Llanstephan ruling & hopefully they collected the beer can that preceeded them!
After lunch the river was on the rise fairly quickly and churned up a lot of the slimey algal bottom building up over the last few weeks - crossing became challenging so stayed on the downstream runs to take some more small trout and the odd grayling.
Tried numerous patterns but by far the most effective were weighted ptns.

Blustery, cold and sunny with low clear water.
Two rises seen during a quick morning session. One March brown seen hatching - can't really miss them.
Two trout and a good grayling on nymphs in the faster water - Wales looking beautiful in the sunshine.
Recent works to the access from the road to the beat have certainly opened up the previous narrow path - you can now drive a tank down it and its a bit raw. The beat is still one of my favourites and is otherwise unaffected.
Just a quick plea - Rubbish! I took away a large black sack full from the layby - and didn't make a lot of difference! Can we all please keep hold of our rubbish and pick up even one piece of someone elses. Pretty soon the whole area will be clear. It isn't enjoyable to start the morning parking in a waste strewn area and we can make such a difference so easily.
