Feedback & Reports

River was very coloured and the height was at 1ft 10" and it was dropping quite quickly. Saw one salmon early on at the tail of Ty Mawr pool but no salmon caught. Had a trout around the pound and a half on the spinner at Ty Mawr pool which was returned as usual.

Great to explore a new beat at summer levels and understand the lies for another day. Lovely fly water. Can't wait to return with 2' on the Llanstephan gauge!

A perfect fishing day. Nothing seen or caught with river very low for this beat. However a great afternoon exploring the lower section of the Rectory and discovering some 'to die for' fly streams, even at this height, which wet the appetite for next time with a little more water. Once again felt sure the pools were occupied and expected a draw on many many wonderful casts. Thanks WUF.

No salmon caught or seen. River very low now. Caught 2 shad and a small trout on the fly at Glangwy, caught another shad on the spinner on the Rectory Pool and many other follows from shad. Caught a 10lb pike on the tail end of Ty Mawr pool on the spinner.

No salmon seen or caught, river very low. Caught 1 chub on fly at Glangwy and hooked two shad on the spinner below Mill Stream.

1 Chub

Nothing caught.

River quite low. Chubb caught on a nymph pattern. Two trout on nymph (hares ear). Remainder on pale dun, but these were only being taken by small trout in the evening. No fish were rising for mayfly, even though there were quite good hatches.

6 Trout, 2 Chub

River level now 9 inches so concentrated on the runs and necks, nothing on the fly early so tried spinner in the neck of the Rectory. Soon hooked nice silver fish of about 10lbs only for for it to come off after long fight, thought I had got it !! Continued on down the run and hooked another only 10 minutes later, fortunately landed this one at 14lbs, again lovely conditioned fish that swam of strongly. Caught a nice sized shad in the Mill Stream on fly later.
First time I had fished these bottom pools and notes were invaluable, thanks WUF. Although had a real struggle battling through the under growth to some pools and could not find a way through to Upper Glangwye !!
Another very enjoyable day on the Rectory.

River at 1ft 4" and still carrying some colour from Ithon. Could only fish from 7am to 9am. We tried all the choice spots and saw a couple of fish in Rock pool, but only shad and a single trout where interested in our flies.
Spectacular morning and the beat was looking fantastic.
