Amazing place , very beautiful . Everything it was perfect. Big thanks for the local club AAA and Mark :). Very nice fishing on the river Rheidol with 22 trout. Fishing on spinners and rapalas

We had planned to fish Doldowlod but a meteroric rise in river level overnight took the Rhayader gauge to over 3ft so washed off.

Syfydrin on the Aberystwyth ticket is always our fail safe in these circumstances - but it isn't the remote place it used to be! A group of campers with trials bikes and much less intrusive horse and bike riders were enjoying the scenery too...

Seems like the fish resented the intrusions as they were very finnicky. Only 3 between us on the usual twitched sedge tactic - little surface activity, and although I convinced 14 to rise only 4 were hooked and one came to hand. James managed to double that score! But a very enjoyable session none the less.

This was supposed to be day 1 of a 3 day trip to Upper Wye beats for grayling - but the weather had other ideas! Everything east of the Cambrian Mountains was running high so we looked west - to the Ystwyth, which was also in spate but then settled on the Rheidol, which according to web sites was low - and so it proved. After 2 hours and 1 6" brown trout we concluded that the chance of a salmon was nil and headed for the hills - to Llyn Oerfa, not a water we have tried before but which does produce some good fish. Nothing was stirring however but JB managed to tease a fish up on a skated sedge - and it was a fat clonker, not weighed but estimated at 2lbs at least. Having the Aberystwyth waters on the web site certainly gives more options but we didnt want to go back again - so day 2 and 3 are wash outs given more rain. Hope the salmon boys will be happier next week....
