Feedback & Reports

Two trout caught nymphing - there was a March Brown hatch but nothing rising. One of the trout was an absolute cracker of a brown trout coming in at probably around 3lb, brilliant stuff. Will be back when the water has warmed just a little and hopefully they’ll be more active!

Only got 40 mins night fishing in before the lightning chased me away.

No fish caught, although trout were rising. Also some dead sheep lying around the place which wasn't ideal. A bad omen perhaps? Water levels too low, will be back again when the river conditions are more favourable.

First time to the River Loughor so we were a little apprehensive about trying somewhere new. Unfortunately it didn't start well as we were flooded off for the first 24 hours with some unexpected rain... However, as a spate river it dropped and cleared relatively quickly so we were up and running soon after. Trout fishing during the day in bright sunshine and temperatures of over 20 degrees was tough but we landed a good amount of small, beautifully marked brownies. I need to mention Lyn Davies, who is a local fishing guide, he gave us some excellent advice on where to fish and how to fish the river. We did manage a night's sea trout fishing and after a rise in river level we were hopeful that we would have a couple of opportunities at them. Well, as we were fishing our way down our first pool, James, who was fishing in front of me with a surface lure got smashed by a very decent fish on his fifth cast! Unfortunately after some thrashing on the surface the fish came off! Expletives were used.... but an encouraging start. 10 mins later as I was swinging a fly on an intermediate line I had a tiny pluck from the darkness. I struck and a nice sea trout started cartwheeling around the pool. After a short fight we landed a lovely 2 pound sea trout. She was safely released to carry on her journey. What great couple of days on a gem of a river. Definitely not an easy river to fish but once you get the hang of it the rewards could be very worth wile. We shall return...
