Feedback & Reports

Half-pound trout taken and returned above the bridge on the upper beat in the late evening on a black-and-red bibio. Water levels low, water clear some breeze. Lots of trout rising but few taking, 6 others missed. Sewin seen and active.

Had a quick hour on the run below the Railway Bridge after helping Eifion and Geoff to pick over a thousand Himalayan Balsam between us. One sewin flashed a tail halfway down the run but wasn't interested in my fly. Loads of small trout rising again. A lovely way to spend the last couple of hours of light.

Absolutely loads of small trout surface activity from 8pm until 10pm and in a short 20mins with the 4WT trout rod, caught 9 brownies klink and dinking between 5 and 10 inches and missed/lost twice as many, fishing barbless.
Broke the sewin kit out at last light and moved to the pool between the main beat parking and Crewil. In the gloom I could see a few fish splashing down stream of me. They weren't of any size, 2-4lbs but I think they were running as I had a 2 sharp tugs but they didn't stick. Maybe if I wasn't fishing barbless they might have!
No one else around. Lovely evening though on a lovely beat.

2 nice brown trout. River quiet probably due to low conditions. Lovely water though.

x1 brown trout around 6 inches, x2 around half a pound and x1 around 3/4 pound. Left around 9.30pm. Fish caught on black gnat, teal blue and silver and mayfly pattern. A lot of brown trout activity. Heard that Junction pool downriver was fishing well a couple of weeks ago so hopefully there are some sewin on their way through.
Hoping to get back down later this week.

Dry fly - black ant and mayfly. River low and calm winds. Hot and sunny weather. Fish caught ranging from 6"-10", all released.

This was a new beat for me - nice to be able to get it on a WUF ticket. Excellent access, by Welsh sea trout fishing standards; the main beat car park is practically in the river by the Railway Bridge pool. River extremely low and air temperature stayed hot almost till dawn. Not an easy night, although some very good fish showed. One modest sewin of about 2 pounds on a Weapon of Mass Destruction (somebody had to come up with a fly with that name) fished deep and late.

Quiet night, some large fish showed but no pulls. Water was clear and perfect for the fly, I did however see a big fish cruising between pools with its back making a wake! I threw every thing I had at it but no joy. It wasn't put off by my wading and it kept my spirits up knowing that there are fish there.

Some fish moving but no offers or takes. Fished Crewil Pool, good instructions on how to find the beat.

Fly fished - fish moving but no takes.
