3 barbel and 1 chub.

A slow day today, moved around a bit to find the fish. I had 4 barbel, best 8lb and a new PB of 10lb 12oz plus 4 chub around 3lb. My fellow angler had three barbel to around 8lb. Boillees and pellets with feeders were successful.

Water low and cold. A few chub - no barbel.

1 brown trout, 1/2lb and 1 grayling, 1/2lb on small kKlinkhammer. Both returned well. Very bright and sunny day with really spooky fish. Both fish in lovely plump condition.

Over weekend of the 21st Sept total catch 6 grayling average weight approx one and half pound per fish. Accommodation was the Cammarch Hotel and fish all caught on the river Irfon controlled by the hotel all fish returned.
All fish taken on Olive Klinkhammer. The river level seem to be much lower this year and the general consensus of our party was that it had had a significant effect on the overall catches, compared to last year. Well looked after at the Cammarch hotel as usual

Fished Ty-Newydd on way back from fishing tour of South and Mid Wales. Spent the evening before tying 6 para ginger quills in B&B in Aberystwyth as fly box was bereft. Looked a lovely day when we got there - soft overcast but reasonably warm. Patchy hatches throught the day - medium olives and pale wateries - encouraged the fish. Those six flies did their stuff! Shared between the rods 36 fish were enticed and returned - 15 wbt to 15" and 19 grayling - a lot were peas from pod of 8-9" but fish of 14", 2 x 17" and 1 x 19" were the prize catches - but not the biggest fish hooked! A ginger quill was trundling slowly over deep flats when a huge head emerged and gently engulfed it. 3 or 4 kicks with the rod bent double at long distance and the tippet parted - estimates suggest a wbt of at least 3lb! If anyone catches this monster can I have the fly back pleae?

Great sport in the morning, fishing nymph and Klinkhammer duo on the bottom half of the beat. 5 brown trout up to 11' and missed several others. The breeze strengthened and things went quiet at lunch time.

Our last day on this trip and we would like to thank the girls in the office for suggesting this beat. We fished it from 9am until 2pm so we didn't manage to fish the whole beat as well as we would have liked to, but the fishing was fantastic. We caught numerous trout and grayling,again nothing massive ,but lots of fun, especially the grayling. Biggest grayling was about 3/4 lb and best trout about 1lb. I would like to add that we stayed in a B&B in Glasbury (Aberllynfi House). It overlooked the Wye and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast sets you up for the day!!! Strongly recommended.
Many thanks again to The W and U girls!!

SB hooked a salmon in Pylons but came off, also caught a 4lbs. chub. AS nil but stil enjoyed the fishing. Ah well, a salmon of 15lbs at Wyesham on Monday after 20 minutes fishing can't be bad! Perhaps I had my allocation for the week. Improved access on the lower beats much appreciated.
When fishing the lower Vanstone was challedged by a coarse fisheman as to whether I had a permit to fish.
I told him in no uncertain terms that our beat ended at the white marker. He later returned to apologise. Perhaps you could erect a Salmon Fishing only sign on the white marker as he was confused with last years Middle Hill Court Beat. We will be back to catch up with Pashley!

Warm windy day. Arrived a bit later than I wanted but had a barbel very quickly of 5lbs, taken on luncheon meat not far out in the crease about halfway down the beat. Nothing else even when I moved further downstream. Several fish jumping out of the water, anyhow saw a kingfisher several times. Lovely place and enjoyed my three days fishing on various beats of the Wye and Lugg. Top marks WUF the system worked perfectly for me and I will be back.
