Feedback & Reports

River a little high for good fishing. A dozen grayling and a a few stockie trout. Grayling all taken on deep gold head nymphs mainly in the tails of the pools as too deep to wade in most places. A small trickle of olives during the afternoon and some rising fish in the lower section, though bait anglers on the lower section had them covered better.
Nice beat but needs to be lower than 0.68 on the EA's Ddol Farm guage to give good access. A few salmon sloshed about and evidence of a couple of redds in places.
WUF Note: Craig Llyn is fly fishing only. The lower half is single bank fishing so the bait anglers would have been from the opposite side.

7 Chub on bread and cheese paste. Missed a lots of bites on cheese paste. Time to start striking instead of letting barbel pull the rod over.

River clear but high. Weather - a perfect autumn day, mist rising and then sunshine. Saw no fish moving and caught none - but it mattered not. This is a beautiful stretch of water.

7 Grayling, 3 WBT and 3 Salmon Parr. 1lb 13oz the best Grayling x2. Ive fished here 3 times and its becoming more apparent that the Grayling aren't as abundant as thought. Only a few swims seem to produce. If you find them they are in a group and catchable, but there are very few places it is even viable to trot a float, so only a few spots are worthwhile.

River high and fast. Lots of debris....I tried 5 different swims in the upper part of the fishery but not even bite all day. Access is ok, stairs are not that hard and the first swim is not too far. Area and the river is ok, but next time I will be going to different area of the Wye, which I like more.

Not a thing! River blown out by rain.

Gefnlysgwynne was looking glorious in the autumn sunshine. Rain had brought the river up and coloured it a bit but dropped and cleared throughout the day. Fishing tough - only 1 fish to 3 rods, a nice 12" grayling on dry.

5 Barbel & 3 Chub on pellet and bread. Most of the fish came before 10am.

Cracking day at Luggsbridge - 4 chub 2lb 6, 2lb 8, 3lb 2 and 4lb 6. All fell to homemade stinky cheesepaste. First time using Wye and Usk Foundation. What a great organisation, very friendly and helpful will defo be coming back.

Perfect day. First time on this beat for both of us with the river clear and carrying a little extra level. DW fished fly in the morning and after a brief hatch of LDO's caught 2 Grayling 12" and 1 18" fish (2.5lbs) on dry sedge pattern. After lunch both rods trotted maggots with 70+ Grayling, 12 OSBT, 2 large Chub. All Grayling 10"/18" and all fish returned safely. We will be back.
