Lovely river and countryside. Fairly high water, plenty of fly life but only a few rises all day. Wet fly 1x12oz, returned.

High fast water made a lot of the water hard to get to and fish properly. Only fished for a few hrs and had two small trout on heavy nymphs.

A truly magical stretch of river which, for natural beauty is hard to beat. We fished it and the beat on the other side so had plenty of river to explore which was hard work and I can't remember being so tired after a day's fishing. This beat on it's own is more than enough to keep 2 anglers happy with a variety of water. Deep pools, long flats and many fast water swims which all look like there should be fish there. The fishing was difficult however, with only 3 trout caught, the biggest about a pound, all returned. It was very bright all day which probably didn't help but the evening bought a few fish up to the surface. I don't doubt there are some good fish here, but it's not easy fishing, wading is testing and the bank are steep in places. But you feel blessed just being there, and any fish are a bonus!

I'm mainly a small stream fisherman and these big Welsh rivers are bit baffling, frankly. I've fished the Teifi a few times whilst on holiday and had a (very) few, always on a nymph.
Firstly there's the wading. It's either slabbed pavements, with unnerving, sudden drop-offs into deep channels or slippery boulders to clamber over. Secondly, there's the water. You undoubtedly get a lot of it but an awful lot seems to be shallow runs over bare rocks, devoid of fish.
I was fishing the lower section on a bright, sunny, warm day so I don't suppose that helped. Plenty of insects about but no fish seen and no rise forms either. I fished various dry flies but I really didn't know whether I was wasting my time or not. Generally, if you don't know, you usually are so I gave up after an hour or so. I suspect you need to be trundling heavy nymphs along the bottom of those channels to catch anything.
Very picturesque river but I think you need a local guide to get the best out of it. No takes, no fish seen.

A very hot day indead. Water levels good and running clear. Great fly life, but very few fish rising. 6 trout to 1lb on upstream nymphs. Thank you.

River healthy flowing and clear. 2lb brown off the surface on a black gnat, only fished for 2 hours at midday. But still a few rises whilst being sunny and warm. Fish Returned.

Enjoyable days fishing in a very nice location. Unfortunately due to my lack of experience failed again to catch anything. Lots of activity above the water almost all day but didn't see a fish rise till 16:45 and planned to finish at 17:00. Will definitely return to this beat.

I took a chance with the weather and was reminded what the weather man means when he says "the jet stream has dropped"! Hooked and lost two fish before the down stream blustry wind, driving rain and rising coloured water forced me to leave. First time on this beat which has lots of varied water and will be back for sure on a more settled day.

Fished with czech nymph downstream. Water was rather low. A couple of fish seen jumping but nothing caught.
