Coloured water following heavy rain. Beyond my capability and zero return. Never saw a fish all day. Stunning setting though.

Two brown trout to 12 inches caught before the river became two coloured and high to fish. There were trout rising under the trees and I am sure the fishing will be fantastic once the water clears and drops a bit.

I had booked to fish Fenni Fach but as Wednesday was a wash off I took up my second Glanusk booking instead. Water still rather cloudy and I managed only two small trout, one on an Adams, the other on orange nymph. Saw very few larger fish rising. As the rain returned yet again I packed up at 5.30 p.m. However, it is always a pleasure to spend a day at this beautiful estate.

Fished both dries and nymphs to no effect in the coloured water. Packed up at 4 p.m. as the rain returned.

The river was at a healthy level but coloured. There was some visibility in the margins and that's where we were able to pick up our fish. We had 10 trout between us that were mostly small but with one lovely wild 17 incher. All taken on nymphs.

18 Brown trout and 10 salmon par between us caught mostly on small bead head nymph. Very little happening on the surface, although there was a good hatch during the evening. A marquee was set up for a wedding reception on Saturday, with floodlights set up to light up the river and trees, stunning.
Glanusk is such a beautiful location to spend a day fishing, and the booking process was as easy as usual

Dear W&U,

Fishing at Glanusk on Thursday was difficult with very windy/cold conditions and heavy showers coupled with the river as low as I have ever fished it. That said, 9 brown trout were caught ranging from 9" to 17/18" on both nymph and dry. As always, no matter what the weather, the W&U Foundation Fishing will bring me back to Wales time and time again.

Many thanks to the staff for your time, advice and politeness.

Kind regards

Spent a week at the Glanusk Estate (Glanusk Lodge) with the family (incl. four young children). The grounds were idyllic, the house well-equipped, and the staff were lovely.

The weather was less co-operative with much rain and high winds. I fished three days on the Estate and managed to catch three, four, and three WBT, respectively, on a duo-rig consisting of a parachute-type dropper with either a nymph or other dry on the point. The largest of the fish was approx. 14 inches. The rest were a fair bit smaller. All were in peak condition and all put up respectable fights. To be fair, I should have caught more than I did. I certainly raised far more than I landed.

All in all, it was a fine way to spend a week's holiday.

Cold, blustery wind, showers. Caught a small chub on a dry fly, just below the bridge, otherwise quite a slow day, with only 4 w.b.t. around the 10 inch mark. Nice day. All fish taken on dries.

Blustery, odd light rain. Fish slow to rise in morning, but woke up later in the day.Took eleven w.b.t. between us, with 2 at 1.lb, 3 at 3/4.lb, and the rest small. Shook off many more, and no shortage of rising fish playing hard to get!
