A beautiful day on the Rectory. 1'4" at Llanstephan and very expectant with super clarity and cracking water. One trout of around a pound got the heart racing in the Mill stream but that was the only action of the evening. A superb beat with easy wading and very fishy pools. Until next time...

1'8" falling some colour, fished 6 am to 10am.
Had high hopes and fished steadily through the lower pools,
a salmon showed at the tail of Rectory and as the fly came round to cover it there was a take but sadly it turned out to be a trout of about a pound. Looks good for a fish sometime soon.

Got down to river at 5.20pm thinking that the tail of Rock was most likely place on the upper half with water at 1ft 7" and a lovely colour. Could see another rod was up in the Rock pool so fished around the stones in Bridge with no joy before making my way up. He had just lost a big fish below the stone and was half way down the tail. After chatting I following him down the tail. Right in the spot the line locked up. The first 50m+ run had me thinking it was a big fish. After a dogged struggle a colouring hen of around 12lb came to the net which went back strongly. Finished the pool but not before finding out that at 1ft 7" you can't take the wading line to the right of the stump! Went back home wet but happy.

No Salmon seen or caught but 1 Trout about a pound which was returned from Ty Mawr pool on a spinner and several follows from trout and one lovely chub about 2lb caught on the spinner. Water was very colored but a good height. Tried to fish Rock pool but water to dirty to wade so tried to spin from the bank. Fishing was to difficult due to so much vegetation so couldn't fish it right through.

Well what a baptism of fire, my first ever salmon fishing trip and I had a 6oz brown trout on a spinner, and then whilst fishing one of the deeper runs, I latched into my first experience of a salmon! I have trout fished for some 20 years and always fancied giving it a go, some may say that spinning isn't the way to catch a salmon but WOW it hit it like rocket and was on for a good minute before it pulled free. Despite not landing the fish it made my day that I hooked on at least!

I saw plenty of fishing hitting fry and possible salmon parr all over the deep pools, I stayed until 8pm but I did not see anything of a rise, not sure if the the wind hindered the chance of a rise, there was plenty of fly life just not much moving. Saw some cracking brownies moving in the shallows over the deeper water at a couple of pound each at least.

I have to say the details that have been written by the owner? Or a very knowledgable fisherman are fantastic give you a great picture of the river and tactics on how to fish! Fantastic place very beautiful and I will be back :-)
