Feedback & Reports

3 x trout 7-11 inches, Parachute Adams, very low water. This beat really is in a state at the moment. I remember I pruned it with Tony Norman back in 2012, but I'm sure it must have been done since then. Today, I'm afraid the thick growth of branches blocking nearly all the pools defeated me. I managed to do some of the top section, or at least where I could get in, but I gave it up as a bad job before lunchtime. However, I was able to see enough to realise that it has a good head of fish in it, some of them good ones. The good news is that Pilleth has been adopted now I see, so with a thorough pruning this winter and hopefully some attention to the stiles and gates, we should have some fishing next season.

Grayling caught on a spider, trout on a goldhead nymph both below the channels. Bit of a dull drizzly evening, but enjoyable fishing.

River low and still falling but water temperature seemed OK. A few sedges and olives around but very few rises. All fish were small, and caught using dark shrimp on long leader with dry on dropper. No sign of any fish bigger than 8oz. Maybe if I'd stayed till dusk …. A lovely section, much more interesting than my last visit as I can see so much more of the river bed and its boulders. That will help when the salmon return.
(WUF please note that the stile in centre of (RH) beat has decayed and is now very dangerous. )

An occasional grayling and trout. One quite large grayling and mid sized brown trout. Lots and lots of parrs though, on larger flies. However nothing damaged, all released. Hope they'll grow nice and big!

River low and lots of slime, wading tricky over the flat bedrock areas. Some flies hatching and occasional trout rising. Prospected with a tiny dry olive and landed 13 at 6" to 11" , missing many more. Lots of parr. Briefly connected with one large trout from a deep run, all in all a lovely day.

Few hours in afternoon, beaten by winds and rain- such is fishing the upland Llyns. No fish caught, despite trying variety of flies. Drove down to boat house.

Tried every bait under the sun, worms, boilies, pellet, corn, bread, cheese, paste... Just wasn't happening. Limited flow. Turned to trotting a stick float and took a couple of 8oz chub on hookable pellet . Weedy and generally very difficult.

The setting on this beat is really special. Good days fishing. We will return.
Thank you.
