Feedback & Reports

Flat calm and and sunny today so I decided to fish dries in the shallow gravely sections. Only the odd rise before I started but they were very keen to come up for my fly!Grayling mostly about 10" couple at 12", trout again tiny. Missed and lost plenty as well.

Thought it might be tough going today, flat calm low and crystal clear. Walked down to the bottom of the beat and saw nothing on the way! Fished french leader style in the streamier water around the rocks and caught lots of tiny trout and only a few grayling 9 to 12" (lost one that felt big in one of the pools). Back again tomorrow,change of tactics needed I think!

Most enjoyable day, despite the lack of water. The most successful fly being a Green Diawl Bach retrieved slowly in the shallows.

Fished the beat from 9.30am to about 5.00pm. Within those few hours we experienced mist, full bright sunshine, light drizzle and heavy rain. The first hour proved to be most productive with some of the best trout (about a pound) and grayling (maybe three quarters of a pound) coming to flies trundled through the faster broken water. By midday bright sunshine slowed things down before they picked up again in the mid-afternoon drizzle. The heavy rain coloured the water remarkably quickly in the final hour.
Very little in the way of surface activity beyond the acrobatic Salmon and small trout in Erwood Pool. All our fish fell to weighted nymphs and spiders. As many were missed or shook themselves free as came to hand. So it was a pleasant and satisfying way to bid farewell to the 2014 season.

The water was very low. A limited rise happened in the morning and a few small fish rising throughout the day. 20 small trout and grayling caught between us on size 22 cdc f-flies and cdc emergers. Best fish 1/2 lb brown trout. Beautiful day and a few salmon leaping in anticipation of the rain that came in October.

You needed to be down a bit in the morning and graying and trout were caught bugging in the faster runs. In the afternoon a few fish were showing and we caught on small nymphs and spider patterns.
The river is very low but the fishing was fun and it was a great day to be out. None of the fish caught were large but all gave a good account of themselves on light tackle. Lots of par around which were difficult to avoid.

With my usual haunts sadly devoid of water I made a rare foray onto the main river. No shortage of water here, Ty-Newydd is an impressive expanse of river in a beautiful location. I was eyeballed twice by members of the otter family and witnessed acrobatic salmon in Erwood Pool.
With little happening on the surface I stumbled on a successful formula; a weighted PTN and a Hare's Ear Emerger fished together on a short leader through the riffles. Both flies took fish. Most were small with half a dozen in the 9"-10" range.
A great day out.

Conditions good and pleasant weather. Very little surface activity, all fish taken on PTN. Trout were small but grayling were a fair size.
