Feedback & Reports

Am grateful to Seth for directions for getting to appropriate water. Small trout taking g/h hares ear and g/h daddies. Fantastic water tipping over the rock beds still with some colour.

5 members of Charfield Angling Association enjoyed a day on the beats of Gromain, Ty-Newdd and Langoed. Approximately 60-70 fish between us, with trout and grayling to about 12". Quite a few smaller fish. Most fish caught on nymphs, a few on dries when there was a brief hatch in the afternoon. A few fish were rising about 6pm, and we managed one chub and one dace from the back eddy on the far side of the pool outside the fishing hut on Gromain. Very few fish rising during the day. One salmon seen. The fishing boards on Gromain have recently been replaced, and the paths have been cleared. Thanks for that. The afore-mentioned style at Ty-Newdd was exciting. Enjoyed bacon rolls cooked in the fishing hut in the morning. Thanks for making it available.

Weather conditions very bright with no cloud light wind and the river was holding at 8 inches. 2 Nice Browns up from the bridge then my son Robbie hooked into a salmon. He played it very well as it gave him a great scrap on his 8# single handed rod with a 6lb Tippett. Nice hen with a bit of colour estimated at 10lbs on a teal blue and silver single hook. It was returned in perfect condition. I landed a small grayling to finish what was the perfect day.

Went for a hares ear and czech nymph combo at start of the day and caught most of the fish on the HE. Second best of the day was the first brownie, weighed in at around 1.3lb. Had my first ever double hook up on the boards down past Heirag with two 12 oz browns. Best fish of the day came at last light on a klinkhammer, really good grayling, 1.5 lb. All fish returned. Great beat, very long so hard to fish the whole lot in a day. River running a bit higher than summers drought, but could still do with a bit more water. I'll return in Autumn.
