Feedback & Reports

Fished for part of the afternoon only, busy sport to small fish early on. Slowed down later, water slightly off colour. Switched to larger mayfly dries as a few Danica in evidence. Lost a VERY good fish which hooked me up underneath the bankside vegetation.
Pleasant afternoon, could have been better, not a lot of fish showing on the surface. Conditions pleasantly warm with light breeze, some Danica and Yellow Mays showing but not a lot. Little surface activity on the part of the fish.

0.17m on the gauge, however, still with a bit of pace and colour . Managed 5 small trout, all on caddis. Even though many upwings and mayfly about there was very little rising, so my fall back position is always a caddis.

River a little high and coloured, visibility about 2.5ft. Sunny day with light downstream wind with occasional strong gusts. Normally a visit to Llanddewi at this time of year means a day on the dry, but the extra water seems to have put them down. Fished duo for most of the day with only one take on the dry.

At the end of the day I noticed a couple of fish rising so switched to dry and was rewarded with a large OOS grayling.

River very coloured, nothing rising until end of day.

All fish taken on ptn except for a large grayling caught at the end of the day on a Klinkhammer.

Good to be back here as its been a while and good also to see it when its got a few inches of extra water on it over the summer lows (0.220m on the Llandewi gauge today and falling ) and with some colour but not too much. Lovely.
A few stonefly and sedge knocking about in the air and some nice grayling looking rises here and there made me stick with the dry (such a lovely day for it!) but could only bring up trout sadly . A couple of nice decent fish netted and in superb,bright and fit condition so didnt feel too guilty and horsed them in pretty quick and back away too.
Lots of small fish having a go at the dry (cdc sedge) and dont know what species but that can only be good for the future . Hopefully anyway...
Seems the farmer has redone the barbed wire fencing in the mid section since I last went so is a bit tricky along there gaining access so I will be taking a piece of the pipe insulating foam along next time to save the waders!

Bright warm day, 0.2m on Llanddewi gauge. 2 parr picked up on nymphs from the faster sections of water, a couple of better sized brown trout hooked but lost. Late afternoon as it was getting a little darker landed a ~13" Grayling and 14" brown trout from the head of a fairly slow run with a lot of tree cover. Both fish on an olive dubbed body, bead-headed nymph with a soft hackle (size 16 hook with 2.8mm bead). Fished 3'-4' under a NZ style indicator.
