Feedback & Reports

First visit to this varied and interesting beat, which was looking absolutely gorgeous in very rare summer sunshine. Not good for the fishing but certainly food for the soul. A few trout did eventually come out to play as the evening wore on and although it was never warm enough for a proper evening rise, we did manage five fish to 15", the best coming to a head and tail riser caught on Peter Hayes' Spinnermalist pattern. We will certainly return next April!

All fish were caught using pellet and feeder. Best barbel was 8.04 and chub were up to just under 4lb. The river level dropped slightly during the day.

26 Barbel, 8 Chub

Great day but sadly no fish - although a few rising through the day. Excellent beat, Nathan the ghillie is really helpful.

Fished the Rectory on both 14th and 15th. Excellent beat made all the better by hooking and landing a 13lb (32") cock salmon on a Yellow Allie at Glangwye. Fished Rectory again on 15th without contacting a fish. This was the first time to fish this beat and hopefully it won't be the last.I was ably assisted by Jonathan Morris.
Stayed at the "WYEKNOTCAFE" which I would recommend to anyone fishing this beat.

First of 3 days on different beats, we had wanted to float fish the end swim but the river was still up, settled in the middle on the feeder until Glyn arrived and advised us to move further down, we ended with 3&2 Barbel to just under 7lb, river looked good and felt as if we should have done better.

Fished from 15.00 to 18.00, the Edw is looking beautiful here at the moment. Given a real run around by the juveniles today, to quick for me all bar one to a Griffiths gnat. 8 ins returned safely.

River had a nice bit of colour, hard sun on the water for most of the day but clouded over late afternoon, so no excuse for failure to land anything. Masses of fly life but no sign of any sizeable fish rising. Hooked two trout, lost both. Ho hum!

Another half dozen lost after lengthy plays. Fish have gone very quiet over the last few days am guessing due to bottom of dam water. Apologies for late returns!?
