Feedback & Reports

River was very low and clear. Weather overcast. Very little feeding seen. A few fish viewed but they were generally uninterested in what was presented to them. One bite on a nymph, but not landed. Lovely beat though.

Fish were returned.

2 Trout

Water level was low (not sure what it was on the gauge). Weather - overcast with E wind, 18 deg C. Successful flies were size 14 goldhead GRHE, spider patterns (patridge and orange) and 2 fish on dries - grey klinkhamer, although the fish were not freely rising. All fish were returned.

2 Trout, 5 Grayling

Both Grayling were approximately 8 inches in length and were taken on brown hackle dry fly. The Rainbow was a tiddly 4 inches. All fish were returned unharmed.

As usual, Ty Newydd produced the goods. The day started off with quite a heavy fog but the sun soon took care of that and from then the temperature was positively summery! A lovely 1lb grayling was the first fish to take the size 14 Golden Shrimp. My partner in crime, on his first visit, had a number of small browns and parr before getting his first decent grayling of just under the pound. Plenty of fish up to lunch, about midday, then after that, it was quite hard to pick up even a take! Only a few more fish were taken before we packed up about 6pm. The river was quite low and clear but the faster water and gullies held plenty of fish. If we had landed all the lost fish and takes, the return would have read about 60 or 70 fish between us. Stonkin'! day!!

Good fishing despite bright sun, fish caught on French leader and nymphs. Grayling to 15 inches, trout to 12. Sport tailed off about 2.30ish.

Very bright day, clear low water tried all sorts of patterns. No luck this time but I'll be back!

First time fishing Ty- Newydd, what a fantastic place, must have been extremely exclusive when the Wye was on form back in the day, what a stunning view from the fishing lodge,
However back to the fishing which considering the bright sun and low water was pretty good, until I came across another angler who was fishing Czech nymphs using a French leader, he was catching very well, after a brief chat, and some research when I arrived home, that is one serious fish catching method.
Thanks to WUF for a great day out in the countryside safe from the draw of trying to catch a salmon.
