Feedback & Reports

Just a note to thank you for your efforts in organising the fishing day yesterday. We had a wonderful time, everybody caught fish and Louis and Rich were great guides and excellent company.

I will have no hesitation in repeating the event next year.

I had a great time on Saturday. I did not manage to get any more trout - I got a number of fish to rise but for some reason my ability to hook them disappeared. I moved down to the Ty-mawr pool later and realised my ambition to catch a shad! I called it a day when I had caught 4. I found the best bit about fishing for them was seeing them mob the fly - very exciting in anticipation of the take. Many thanks for putting me on to the pool - I would never have chosen to fish there by myself, I was under the impression they tend to hang about in streamy water.

Cliff and I paid our first visit to the Llynfi Dulas on Saturday and had a great day despite the colour coming from one of the feeder streams. We had thirty fish between us at least three of which were over a pound. All on mayfly patterns. It was at its best when the river began to clear at around 3.30 p.m. Pretty good hatch of mayflies considering that it is a just a little early for them really.

The Edw fished like an absolute dream, by the way. I'm not sure I've ever enjoyed day's fishing more. One particular beauty was just over the pound mark and 14 inches, but there were plenty more around the 8 and 9 inch mark. Lots of mayfly about.
Keep up the good work!

...unfortunately having had several takes did not catch anything, hopefully this will be remedied next time. I still enjoyed the day out there with Kim Tribes company. A man with a wealth of knowledge and fun to be with. Thank you.

My brother and I enjoyed an afternoons fishing on beat 16 of the River Edw on 14th May 2007, using vouchers from your sister scheme the Eden River Trust. Absentmindedly we forgot to post our catch returns into the beat box. Unfortunately my brother did not catch anything but this did not detract in the slightest from a wonderful day out. Congratulations on operating such an excellent scheme.

2007 is the first time I have participated in your roving voucher scheme and I have to say how fantastic a service you provide. Your admin lady who processes the payments and issues vouchers is super, the directions provided are clear and the whole set up has an air about it that tells you it is run by enthusiastic staff.
I have so for been able to find myself "out of mobile coverage" on three occasions and I am looking forward to the rest of the season, especially now it has rained.

I?d just like to say what a great idea the images and live web cam of the water gauge is. It?s a great benefit for anglers, including myself, who aren?t local. Including the water temperature would also be very useful.

A big thank you to all in the office from my girlfriend and me ? we had a wonderful weekend camped up by Llanthony Abbey, and fished the Monnow on Beat 15.

Hannah took her very first wild trout, and raved about it for days.

The information you provide in the Passport and particularly the website is invaluable to those of us locked in the City and trying to plan brief escapes.

..Congratulations on water conditions section of website - I am spending far too much time watching and not working...
