Feedback & Reports

In a few hours fishing 7 fish caught in total. All wild brown and small. Caught on nymphs, green olive size 16 was praticularly productive. Some bigger fish seen jumping around but proved difficult to catch.

Even with the conditions and water perfect we found it hard to locate the fish. 6/7 brown trout to 12" to hand and approx the same on long distance catch and release. Possibly the water levels were a bit to low. All fish caught on heavy beaded nymphs or spiders.

Fished Ty Newydd from 10am until 5pm. 3 brown trout to three quarters of a pound and 4 grayling to a pound and and a quater. All returned. Conditions looked quite good, but there was very little fly-life and therefore hardly any sign of surface activity. I flung all my favourite flies into my favourite spots with little success. Most of the fish fell for a size 16 black spider in the streamier runs. I also saw salmon showing in two of the pools.

Three rainbow trout caught each all caught on bottom fishing with worm. All fish in excellent condition.

One Fish landed, a brown of about 10 oz.{returned} on a fluttering sedge dry, missed a few takes early on in the day on a hare`s ear nymph an a bibio, started raining heavily about 2pm, so called it a day - very enjoyable day`s fishing !

River at normal summer levels with a tinge of colour. Despite fishing early afternoon to dusk, fishing was extremely hard work with very few bites or other signs of fish. We managed 4 barbel & 3 chub between us despite varying tactics and swims, very frustrating.

Good start to the day with two barbel in the first two casts around seven pounds. Had to wait until an houur before dusk for the action to start again with a further seven barbel and two chub between us. Beautiful stretch of river. Word of warning, stuck on the track with the car for over an hour. Only suitable for 4x4 type vehicles.

Good venue but slow fishing as turned out to be fairly sunny. Lots of small chub and silver fish and 1 big chub. Could be a fantastic venue if there were more fishable swims. The landowner has provided good access along the bank but there are only half a dozen or so fishable swims.

4 Brown and 2 parr to 6 inches on Adams PT and GRHE.
Some very difficult fishing due to trees and slippery wading.

We tried both the fly and spinner throughout the beat but failed to tempt any fish. A lot of salmon were showing, maybe 2 dozen different fish, but most were moving right under the far bank and just out of reach. The river was carrying a dark brown/green colour which greatly reduced visibility. A very nice location, beat much better suited to spinning.
