Feedback & Reports

Beautiful autumn day. The river was clearing and falling, so the conditions looked auspicious. 2lb and 2.5lb wild browns caught on a small stoat's tail, but no sign of the larger cousins until virtually the last cast of the day. Then a 15lb hen salmon caught again on a small stoat's tail. As the salmon was landed two otters started playing in the pool in front of us. Hard to imagine a better end to the day.
Quick word about Glanusk. Very warm welcome from the estate office and useful advice on flies and which pools to concentrate efforts on. The banks and access are in excellent condition and the river there is swarming with dippers which is always a good sign. Cannot recommend more highly.

No fish caught. Water level falling and by afternoon was in good shape. Disappointed not to have caught a fish.

No fish caught. Water high and very coloured.

Fantastic clear water, running through very fast a lovely stretch of water both upper and lower beats. I had 1 brown on a nymph weighing about a 1lb. Had a further take on a Blue Dun but didn't connect and then spent the rest of the day roaming the river to no further action. But plenty of fish moving, fly life was good for this time of year butI couldn't match the hatch. I will be back thank you for a great day!!

Great location, water clear and falling following heavy rain earlier in the week, weather sunny but cool, steady gentle rises mid morning to mid afternoon.
Landed four brown trout from 1/2 lb to a beautiful 1lb+ fish, all in good condition small emergers / dry flies.
Two fish taken.

Water fished well today but no salmon moved. Fun with trout to 1 1/2 lbs. on the dry flies between times. Wonderful hostess (Tiggy) who plied us with tea, chocolate cake & large chunks of local knowledge & experience on the river bank. We would all go back for more of everything! Thanks once again Allyson for the help with late bookings.

One small brown trout approx eight inches caught on beaded nymph and released.

First rod - Nil. Second rod - One small trout.

River was quite high and somewhat brown due to the heavy rain a few days before but nevertheless clear enough for a large fly.
Had one gentle tug during the day but otherwise no other indications of salmon about although apparently there have been quite a few taken by spinning both below and above the estate water recently. I wonder how many are being returned?
One 2lb trout caught and returned on a large shrimp pattern!

One brow trout caught on N Country spider pattern. Water slightly coloured after the recent rain but river level acceptable for wading. Some rain during the day but did not spoil my time there. No luck with the Salmon.
