Feedback & Reports

Annual April trip this time with 15 yr old daughter who is very keen on this fine sport. River very low. Sunny morning yielded 6 brown trout all to dry fly (Adams 14 and 16). First fish, a fine 12" specimen, taken on about 7th cast of the morning directly in front of the lodge. Lost two others from same pool. 5 others 6-10" later on in the space of 20 mins during a brief hatch LWO/March Browns, right place right time! Afternoon very quiet so switched to PTN and had one trout 8" and one excellent fighting grayling 12".
Daughter tucked in on wet March Brown with two beatifully marked trout to 8", proud Dad and thrilled daughter. Happy Days. Will return with my mates in two weeks. Thankyou WUF for a slick booking service, information and advice. We camped at Trericket Mill for two nights and climbed Pen-y-Fan on Tuesday before returning home tired but very happy.

No fish caught.

First look at this beat lovey water and with the river so low you could see every rock! I fished down through but did not connect with anything but a couple of good trout and a small pike. RP was after the trout and managed to rise many fish without hooking one! Came back for another look on Wednesday and fished most of the morning before it started to snow very heavily, and I could no longer feel my hands!

Nil return. had a pull. a few fish showing. Very cold NE wind and bright sunshine.

Although being new to river fishing, I had one of the most beautiful afternoons fishing I think I've ever had. Sunny, dry with a steady hatch of grannom that had fish rising everywhere. Tried a dry with no joy but then had 3 browns from a perfect 5"ish to a larger but equally perfect 10"ish all taken on home tied size 14 red holo Diawl Bach. The best fish of the afternoon was also my first Grayling, and of a decent pound plus size taken on a small size 14 black unweighted pheasant tail style nymph. All flies were barbless and all fish returned without leaving the water.

5 WBT caught and released to 1lb, lovely beat only covered half the water, Grannom hatches from 11am till 2pm, then quieter. Two fish took a Grey Wulf, a very enjoyable day, fished from 10 till 4pm thank you for the recommendation.

12 WBT shared between 2 rods and many more missed. All fish were a good size with a couple at 2lb and 1.5lb. There was a huge Grannom hatch that lasted most of the day, bringing fish to the surface until around 6pm. Most took CDC & Elk Hair fished on a long leader. A great day's fishing!

Lovely day,warm annd sunny. Never saw a fish. Blank.

A lovely morning on Glan-yr-Afon. Bright sunshine, warm, fairly still. Not much activity at lower end of beat, so tried nymphs etc before switching to a dark olive (I should have paid more attention to past catch returns posted here) when I saw a few fish rising towards upper end of beat below waterfall. Had plenty of interest, but possibly needed a smaller size as couldn't connect. Eventually had a fine WBT of c. 14oz (returned). By around 2pm few fish rising.

A blank for both of us. Very low water no fish sighted at all. Lovely beat though.
