Feedback & Reports

I arrived at the beat shortly after 9am and was lucky enough to be greeted by near perfect conditions. The river was positively fizzing with surface action and it didn't take very long to select a fly that the fish responded to. A grey/white parachute brought dozens to the surface and 6 fish to the net (this being mainly due to my far from expert reaction times but great fun and excitement none the less!!). All fish were in the 10 - 14Oz bracket and all were returned safely.

2pm saw the start of a mid-Wales mini-monsoon and after 2 1/2hrs of cuddling a tree trunk I decided to shut up shop so to speak. It was a great day while it lasted and I will definately be returning for another visit in the near future. Thanks WUF!

Lovely location, rained off in the afternoon evening.

2 fish taken 1lb 8oz, 1lb 5oz. 8 other fish caught and released. All brown trout taken on Dry Flies (Black Gnat) and Nymph fishing.

A wonderful session in the rain, double figures of trout, both brown and rainbow to 2lbs but most around the 3/4 pound mark. Saw only one salmon during the day, certainly a double figured specimen. It dramatically leapt 10 feet away from me but alas didn't fancy the fly. Will definitely return here.

3 trout, 3 grayling. River was high and coloured - dry fly heaven this was not!! Managed 6 fish on heavy nymphs and went away feeling quite pleased with myself!

Stayed at the Bell....excellent!

After a few days of heavy rain I fancied my luck in the quest for my first Welsh Salmon. Upon arrival I found the river wild and dark brown. Realising I was premature (again...) I persevered as all good men should. Trying fly and spinning on both sections I spent 6 hours carefully watching for any fishy signs, but nothing.... not a sniff...scenery was beautiful. Be aware the bank walking on this beat is not for the those with a clumsy disposition. Tomorrow is another day - I remain doggedly optimistic. WUF booking system and directions were brilliant ! Bravo !

Thank you so much for your help in choosing my beats last week. I really think that I had the best days fishing I have ever had on tuesday with the fish all free rising and the weather just right. Wednesday it was quality rather than quantity with 3 fish to a pound and a half, weather a bit ropey but another great day. Penpont today (Thursday) I could only fish for a few hours as I didnt want to sit on the M4 for hours. Still managed to land 4 to 1lb and lost a monster at the net. The fish lying under the bridge made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but I had no time to try for them. Next time!!!!

WUF Note: Fished Abernant 26th May, Llyn Em 27th May, Penpont 28th May.

Caught and released 4 trout in total. Lost a few others. Fish were to 13". Hoping for more after the rain but was still nice to net a few.
PTN's again for the fish. Only saw 2 fish rise so didn't bother with anything else. Had a nice Monday!!! Thanks WUF for sorting out my vouchers.

Monday 8th June - fining down nicely, plenty of fish taking off the top, but proved difficult to catch !!!! Results - 3 browns between 3/4 lb and 1 lb and a couple of grayling about 1lb.

Beautiful stretch of river, easy wading. Thanks for all your help.

No sign of salmon. Three sea trout all around 1lb. caught at Moccas and returned. River low but dirty at Moccas. Will be back later in year for salmon and barbel. Ty Newydd very pretty beat. Challenging wading in coloured water.
Excellent booking service.

A lovely day on Middle Hill Court. Overcast with the odd shower.

No Salmon from either of our two rods, one possible bite, plenty of trout / small fish rising, particularly in the Maddox. Also, more than plenty of canoeists, who distinguished themselves by singing, skimming stones across the pools and capsizing and then walking through the lies.

Notwithstanding their appearance, it was a lovely day.....
