Feedback & Reports

River was high and fish quite spooky. Not much hatching throughout the day, but landed a few smaller trout. Lovely beat!

Cefni Catch Report week ending 9th June
June is by far one of the better months to fish the Lake with insect life is booming and
the fish will have had everything thrown at them by now making them a little more shy and will have seen all manner of flies passing by.
It’s a very good time to target the larger fish which will no doubt be looking up, so floating lines should be the norm coupled with dries would be well worth a cast.
However, the change of weather certainly makes us think that summer has been and gone.
With temperatures in the single figures and cold easterly winds, the fishing has been challenging.
Also apparent is the change of wind direction on a daily basis at the lake so productive areas one day may be baron the next.
Never the less good catches are reported in the returns. Flies, lines and areas seem to be mixed.
Traditional wets like Dabblers, Invicta, Bumbles etc on slow intermediate lines seem to be taking fish together with the standard lures and nymphs along with dries seem to be working well, with fish pretty much scattered across the lake.
The fish quality continues with some excellent bags recorded with the average per angler around the 4 fish.
The annual comp was fished on Saturday the 8th which saw 12 fishing with 34 fish caught.
Elfed jones finished 3rd, Rhys Edwards took first place for 6 fish at 7lb 8oz and myself coming 2nd with 4 fish for 5lb 10 0z.
The junior competition was also held on the same evening and all did extremely well.
Cai Roberts took 3rd place, Kyle Williams 2nd and 1st to Aron Jones very well done to you all.
Please watch the Facebook page for updates on working parties, as many hands make light work.

The river was dropping and claering a bit by the evening so I fished for a couple of hours. Notning on nymphs and a single missed take on a parachute adams. Lovely stretch of river.

Nice beat, very peaceful and has lots of potential. The foy bridge fishery had better access than the creel fishery half, however both were overgrown. Water was fairly coloured and above summer level, I fished the fly down all pools as far as access and wading would allow, sadly without result. Several canoeists passed through mid morning all of which were plesent and curtious. I finished fishing mid afternoon due to large amounts of foliage in the water and decreased water clarity from rain upstream.
I look forward to fishing this beat again, hopefully with more success.

A once in a blue moon day we all dream about. After my first visit early season I wanted to return here when the mayfly were coming off and more importantly when the brook had a bit more water and a bit of colour to it to relax the very spooky fish. This was the exact conditions I found the brook in when I began at the lower end of the beat. Fish chased mayflies up and down the stream where they fluttered around, some fish even leaping to take flies which were flying above the surface!

Despite this I kept on with the Duo, the method I began with and the takes were that thick and fast I saw no reason to change.

Still buzzing even a day later, red letter stream fishing.
