Feedback & Reports

River very coloured and in minor spright. No fish.

Too windy and cold for successful fishing

Tough going. One sizeable fish on a pink tag. Didn't find the most promising water at the top of the beat until dark, and spent too much time flogging marginal bits downstream. This stretch of river appears to have taken a real beating over the past few months. Banks severely eroded in places with no natural stabilization. Twice, huge chunks collapsed into the river near me as I fished, despite low water.

Hard going today

No fish and no sign of fish still enjoyed the trip and nice water

Beautiful day for 1st December. No fish unfortunately, probably mainly due to incompetence.

Nothing Caught today

Overcast and drizzly. Tried french/upstream nymphing without success.
Water level good with steady flow, perfect nymphing water but again did not see a fish move.
Good water for wading (so long as you avoid any redd's)and some interesting water at top and bottom of beat.
Will certainly be back! Lovely beat. Stayed at Caer Beris-excellent!

I was only able to fish for the afternoon thanks to work, but grayling were rising sporadically when I arrived at this gorgeous stretch of water, and I managed to land one (and lose two) on a size 18 Vermont caddis. Some dry fly fishing was an unexpected treat, but most of my time was spent nymphing, which produced three fine out-of-season trout up to 15 inches, and one much larger fish who might have been a salmon, but who shook free the hook after a brief battle.
