Feedback & Reports

Sunny warm day, so I decided to use Dry fly all day. good hatch around 11am and late afternoon as well. 8 grayling, and 6 brown trout. Most of the fishes were around 2 pounds, with couple of grayling definitely over. Great day, and lovely beat.

6 Trout, 8 Grayling

Difficult day. Hot, windy, high and dropping river. Very few fish seen apart from in the long pool. Possibly spooked a salmon. Lovely fishing and river, would repeat etc

6 Trout, 1 Grayling

Very cold river

Craig Llyn is becoming one of my favourite places to be, I always enjoy fishing this stunning beat.
Weather was positively spring like with sunshine, a gentle beeeze and highs of 14C, a few Olives started emerging around 11:30am and a few fish started to rise to them before a very impressive hatch of March Browns occurred around midday sending the fish just upstream crazy with lots of splashy rises, I managed 3 out of season Grayling on self tied dries before the fish seemed to disappear despite a blizzard of March Browns which lasted about 20 minutes.
I fished on without much success until later in the afternoon when one or two fish started rising in the deep, slow pool in the first field, I offered them my dry fly which was taken on the first cast and resulted in a very pleasing 20 inch brown trout, a great end to the day.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

We popped up for 4 hours, no march browns but good olive hatch. One nice trout ,all taken on drys. Dull day, fish rising all up the river.

great to see a good hatch off olives and march browns, two of our fish were taken on the french leader, the rest on the drys; a march Brown pattern. A good number off fish rising down the lower end off the beat. 3 good trout 1lbs to 1 1/4lbs
