Feedback & Reports

With the upper river having dropped significantly, putting a salmon fly through the few deeper pools was unsurprisingly unproductive.
Small numbers of olives were hatching throughout the day though from 10.30 onwards. The fishing was very good when the temperature rose, but ceased when it clouded over and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
Fish came to a variety of nymphs and emerger patterns with some of the trout taking a dry Adam’s as well.A mix of sizes, some shots, a few parr including a salmon parr , but also trout to 12” and a few big grayling in lovely condition. Mostly taken from the top of the beat.

A blank today.

Fished for salmon at first, though learned later a very nice one had gone through Rectory recently and rested in Gromain waters!
Tiny grayling on a goldhead size 16..don't know how it got a mouthful of that fly!

1 Grayling

Perfect sunshine all day and temperature in the teens.
First time on this beat - it is an excellent piece of water and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Only one solid touch all day - at the boil after Gravel Catch on an Ally’s Shrimp on a sink tip.

Will be back!

nothing seen or caught

Covered the deeper water with Tube fly and Spinner but again, no sign of any salmon. Had two trout on a SHFC, one a solid 17’’ fish from Ty Mawr. It was surprising to take a number of good size Grayling though ,which have seemed to be absent for some time. There were no shots amongst them and three were around the 15-17’’ mark, mostly caught on assorted bead head nymphs in front of the hut. All fish returned.
The river has certainly fallen quickly over the last 48 hours.
