Feedback & Reports

The river was slightly on the high side but managed to find a few fishable spots. 3 smallish grayling + 1 small brownie.
Lost one other fish which felt a decent size. All fish on Czech nymphs. Lovely secluded beat shared only with the wildlife.

First time on Llanfechan and there are some lovely salmon holding pools on this stretch. As for grayling I'm a bit of a beginner so was pleased to catch a couple and lose several more. Best fish @ 18". All on heavy bugs with no rises seen all day. Lovely to be out on an autumn day of heavy showers and weak sun in secluded and beautiful surroundings.

One of the best days fishing I've ever had, despite only 4 grayling between us. Largest around 11". 3 taken on nymph and one on the dry about midday. A few fish started to rise when the sun got on the water and a few olives started to appear. A salmon leapt in one of the pools, and a few out of season trout were caught. Easy parking and didn't see a soul all morning. Privilege to be out there.

Nine grayling caught, mostly over 12" and the largest 15" (approx 1 1/4lb). Fish were rising freely from 11-4, although there were very few flies hatching (needle flies, olives and small sedge). Caught on klinkhamers, Czech nymph, PTN and partridge & orange spiders. This beat seems to be mainly salmon pools but the glide I mainly fished contained a large amount of grayling. Beautiful, secluded location.

What a stunning beat. Just being at Llanfechan is a pleasure, the scenery is superb and I was lucky enough to have the whole stretch to myself on Sunday. 12 Grayling and 2 out of season BT caught, mostly Czech Nymphing. Caught my largest ever Grayling (1lb 15oz) which was fantastic, also lost three which were bigger! Finally I was treated to the amazing sight of a large Otter right in front of me! Spotted it on the bank whilst I was standing mid river, it slipped into the water and proceeded to have a little swim in the pool before heading off downriver. I just stood and watched in awe, an amazing sight and a superb day.

Once again a real pleasure to fish this beat. Weather was overcast with some wind. Catch returns as follows - Ian Mellings, 6 Grayling and one Trout, all on dry fly. Tom Hitchman, 7 Grayling and 5 Trout, all on dry fly.

Fished here the previous Saturday (02/10), and forgot to send in the catch returns which are as follows. Ian Mellings, 2 Grayling, both on dry fly. Tom Hitchman, 3 Grayling and 2 Trout, all on dry fly.

Excellent service from WUF as always.

Had 6 grayling (biggest about 12 oz) plus about 5 salmon parr. All fish off the top on a grey bodied klinkhammer. Lovely looking stretch of water in peaceful surroundings.
Very safe parking next to Llanfechan house. Will be back.

Nothing caught but probably due to my inexperience of river fishing because conditions appeared perfect. First time I've used the booking system which was very efficient. I shall return!

Beautiful bright sunny day and much warmer than the previous days. Plenty of insect life happening all around. Water slightly cloudier than previous day.
Sporadic activity on surface.
Caught one grayling (about 1/2 lb)on a knotted midge/black spider which was of course returned.
Absolutely fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed it despite not catching much.

A quick trip report for 6th & 7th March. We all had a brilliant time although only one of us caught one fish: one 40cm brown trout from Llanfechan. Released of course.

Both Wye & Irfon were the clearest I have seen them. Very cold weather on Saturday and bright sunshine on Sunday. Small hatch of upwings on Sunday. I spent the day Sunday stalking fish in Llanfechan in one particular spot and was surprised to see some pretty big customers (up to 50cm). They were very spooky though.

Everyone agreed that April / May would be a better time with more obvious top of the water fly activity but we thouroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you for your help in organising.
