12th Oct 2008, beat B28, Gofynne (Irfon) ? only 3 grayling (but of good size between 30 and 42 cm) and one very large salmon parr (18 cm). This fishery is in a magnificent setting and I had a very enjoyable day. My first visit to the Irvon; I will catch more next time!

Wonderful fishing, I?ll be back.

Just a note to say that the Glaslyn guests have been very successful over the last week with 11 Salmon caught and released.

Two 2lb Grayling were caught on Salmon flies. One guest reported catching a 2lb Sea Trout. All fish released.

Not a bad day at Cefnllysgwynne last Saturday. The morning was rather dour, but they started to rise after lunch. One out of season trout and eight grayling, including some very nice fish in the 40 centimetre class - on traditional grayling dries for a bit of fun and to give the Klinkhammers a rest. Grayling Witch, Sturdy's Fancy, John Storey, Treacle Parkin and Grayling Steel Blue all in size 16. Which probably goes to show that when they are definitely rising, they will take most anything if it's not too big.

No better place to be in the autumn than on the Irfon.

Just like to say superb presentation by all parties, especially John Lawson, who definitely spelt it out clearly so that I fully understood it. Having said that, the magnitude of it all seems far beyond imagination. But as we have said just crazy enough for this government to get it through! So lets all keep vigilant and will assist where we can.

Lyepole is as good as it gets - beautiful surroundings and full of fish, a W&UF gem. Thanks for a great day out.

WUF note: Catch....29 grayling to 16" and 10 out of season trout to 10"

5 grayling to 1lb, several small trout and salmon parr.

A lovely stretch of water,leaves from the trees where a bit of a problem, but the otter sightings made up for the lack of fish. Many thanks, we will return.

Excellent day, went for Chub but once into Dace sat on them!
Beautiful conditioned fish, never seen so many since my younger days. No keep net used. No Grayling. No Salmon seen.
Thank You.

WUF note: Catch return....150+ dace, 6 of which were over 12oz, 4 chub to 2lb to 2 rods.

Fishing was tricky and very slow to start, with bright sun and downstream wind making presentation difficult. As soon as the sun went in the dace started feeding avidly! Fish a chuck for two hours until the sun came out again and spoilt it. Fish came on again in the evening. The Trees are in spectacular autumn livery at the moment, making it a truly memorable trip.

Met a really nice fishery owner and made us very welcome.

Brilliant top fishing!

WUF note: Catch return....100+ dace, 2oz-6oz. 20 grayling, 20cm to 30cm 2lb to 2 rods.

Overnight ground frost and clear conditions obviously not too favourable however, 1 bite and 1 beautiful 10lb 7oz fish barbel put a huge grin on my face. First double in a number of seasons. Met the baliff down there who mentioned the stretch does get quite alot of pressure from the
club as can be seen from the banks so not quite your usual WUF beat but has produced alot of fish this season.

It our was first day using the trust and we had an excellent day. I have wanted to catch grayling for years and we succeeded very quickly due to our excellent guide Kim Tribe.

WUF note: Catch return...2 trout and 9 grayling to 16" to 2 rods.
