Feedback & Reports

4 fish all on BWO biggest 10" a lovely shock! Best fishing of the week last day of hols.

18 Brown trout and 10 salmon par between us caught mostly on small bead head nymph. Very little happening on the surface, although there was a good hatch during the evening. A marquee was set up for a wedding reception on Saturday, with floodlights set up to light up the river and trees, stunning.
Glanusk is such a beautiful location to spend a day fishing, and the booking process was as easy as usual

4 trout up to 10inches. Very pleasant day but only spasmodic rises. Caught on olive and yellow klinkhammers. A few mayfly showing but the fish did not seem interested in them. Also in one area alot of dace rising.

Fantastic day with 11 WBT to the net, from 6 to 12 inches. Good fly hatches from midday onwards once the conditions warmed up a little. Most fish taken in the riffles on dries, but 3 fish taken on the flats using stealth tactics. Fished under the guidance of Gareth Lewis - an excellent local guide who knows these waters very well. I learned a huge amount during the session. Highly recommended.

Six trout up to 9", all taken on a #14 Partidge & Orange on a dropper, all returned of course. They were not interested in the nymph on the point. The very strong downsteam wind today almost drove me to distraction & so, upstream dry was a nightmare & I gave up on that. As the wind was still very strong early evening & little was coming off the water, I called it a day around 6.30PM

Dear W&U,

Fishing at Glanusk on Thursday was difficult with very windy/cold conditions and heavy showers coupled with the river as low as I have ever fished it. That said, 9 brown trout were caught ranging from 9" to 17/18" on both nymph and dry. As always, no matter what the weather, the W&U Foundation Fishing will bring me back to Wales time and time again.

Many thanks to the staff for your time, advice and politeness.

Kind regards

Caught 4 trout to 7". Very difficult day with strong winds and lots of rain as low pressure came through. No steady rises at all, and very small hatch if any. Dry fly was impossible. Most success came from size 14 gold head nymph on point with a same size brown pennel type wet fly fished across and down to the odd rise and searching the water systematically.

7 fish to 1lb - good average size.

10 fish between 6" to 8". Mainly 8", lost 12" fish and a few others.

Landed a lovely conditioned hen fish 11.15am just over 32 inches, approx 13lbs, caught on silver and black spooned salmon red flying c, caught off the wood crib with water level just below 0" (summer level) on the Lydbrook gauge. Quite windy, with strongish upstream wind above the island, but calm through the wood. Algae getting bad around midday.
Only 4 canoes by 11.30.
