Feedback & Reports

We hoped to find the river level falling after rain. It was, but it was higher than we expected, and the Fenni Fach beat was only fishable with a fly about tea time. Perhaps we should have been spinning for salmon. Caught three trout about half a pound.

3 Trout

Between the three of us, we fished the fly, spinner, worm on a float and worm on the bottom. We caught 3 small trout and a couple of perch. The reservoir does not fish any where near as well as it did years ago. It's a real shame.

It had rained hard the night before and the river had risen a foot and was coffee coloured. If I was not a 150 miles from home I would not have fished. The one fish caught was taken on a heavy nymph as the water was flowing very quickly.
Accommodation at the Old Vicarage B&B in Erwood was very convenient, with friendly lady owner and good value for £30.

My first visit to Pant y Llyn. Extremely windy and hammering down for most of the day, making fishing all but impossible as I only had a float rod. Caught two chub around two pounds on a waggler fished straight into the wind. Saw four wild carp jump throughout the day. Very disappointing as this was a trip I was really looking forward to. Beaten by the weather. A wonderful place however and I am desperate to return during more favourable conditions.

Arrived about mid day. Perfect conditions on the river. My 1st fish on the third cast produced a barbel of 11lb 7oz far larger than anything else I have caught fishing the Wye. Shaking trying to get it weighed and back in the river I stood on my landing net pole. A quick fix with supper glue and using 12lb line as a whipping silk, I soon had a functioning landing net and landed another two barbel in the next hour. The second of these fish put paid to the landing net handle completely. So I spent the next three hours driving trying to find a replacement handle to no avail. Martin and I spent the rest of the day both trying to fish the same swim as the water levels went down.
A great day thank you.

River a bit out of sorts, already high and rising again through the day. Lots of weed in the main flow so finding slack water was essential. Difficult day with fish not readily feeding. Two good barbel caught 8lb and 8 1/2 lb to spicy sausage boilies.

2 Barbel

River up and chocolate coloured but at least the rain kept off!
