Feedback & Reports

River clearing up nicely after last week's rain. Trotting red maggot resulted in 11 grayling. Ranging from 8-12 inches topped off with cracker of 16ins. Also had 5 trout, 3 in very nice condition, 2 looked they had recently spawned.
Good to meet TH from Swansea. Hopefully you have more luck next time.

5 Trout, 11 Grayling

12 x grayling 6-15 inches, 1 x chub 4.5 pounds, 3 x out of season trout 9-12 inches, trotting. I think the water was warmer than the air today, which resulted in continuous fog throughout the valley. It was so thick by mid-afternoon that it was a problem to see the float, so packed up early.

12 Grayling, 1 Chub

River high and coloured. Called it a day by lunch

River in perfect condition till midday when strong wind arrived with rain and filled river with leaves. Managed 5 grayling in total and lost few.. lovely beat to fish.

5 Grayling

Lovely day, light winds and river at a nice height and colour.

About 20 grayling up to 14 inches on pink bugs

20 Grayling

Pretty sure I submitted this catch return late last year but seems it didn't go through, sorry. To recap, only fished about an hour when it was barely fishable with about 1ft visibility - no bites. Then an even bigger spate came down and it turned to chocolate; a dead sheep and a tree trunk went past soon after I got out, so that was good timing :D

Nothing today, water very high

Fished from noon to 5.30pm, 3 grayling to 13" and two OOS trout, largest just over 13", all on nymphs. Did try a Daddy-long-legs too but only got bites from some tiddly grayling on that, not hooked - I think they were trying to take the legs off one by one :D Some sparse mayfly hatches late afternoon, but generally quiet. Connected briefly with a larger fish which gave a couple of heavy head shakes...and my barbless hook popped out - Sod's Law that was the only one that slipped off! Beautiful beat, nice to see the care that has gone into the banksides - hardly any Himalayan balsam to be seen which is very refreshing (I made a further dent in the few left!). Thanks for a lovely day out and look forward to visiting again.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

River at 1'6" on the Llanstephan gauge, lovely river conditions. No salmon seen or hooked, fished a full day. Several oos trout in the Abernant Stream were very lively. Beat and access in excellent condition and very well maintained, many thanks.

3 Trout

Last chance for a Wye salmon form this season but sadly it wasn’t to be. The river rose around 14cm during the day but the level and clarity were pretty good. I possibly saw a salmon out of the corner of my eye, albeit not close enough to cover. Lovely day out on the river and it was nice to see the owner and her husband.
