Feedback & Reports

I saw some leaping salmon under part of the beat but no bites. Very good rise of trout for mixed hatch.

Without the promised rain an early start was my best chance, and so it proved with a 38.5" cock fish on a black tube - my best on fly. Fish was starting to colour up but still had lovely violet flanks. I guess a May run springer?

Very little fly life apparent, possibly due to an intermittent gusty wind. Llanstephan gauge showed just over a foot.
Couldn't winkle anything from the middle stretch where I thought the trout would lie so moved up to the Abernant stream. Still no trout but a few OOS grayling on a slightly weighted olive spider on the dropper and a plague of salmon parr who wouldn't leave my beadhead PTN point fly alone.
Finally got a trout from the faster water at the lower end of this pool.

A few fish were rising but unable to fish the dry fly properly due to the strong, cold, downstream wind. Switched to a gold beaded PTN and managed 2 trout of 9 inches.

River conditions seemed perfect. Fish seen regularly during the day but no takers. Fished the fly and FC without joy.

After yesterday, what a change with the river down and water clearing. Saw a salmon move next to me and a pull from another. Thanks wuf for your advice and help again.

A few mayflies coming off. Caught on dry mayfly pattern, peacock parachute, klinks, para Adams. Hatches most prolific late pm.

Lovely fresh run cock salmon of 12-14 lbs taken on an orange and black shrimp pattern (size 6) in the middle of the pool (my first ever). Safely returned.

3 of us fishing, and one trout caught on a mayfly. Very little fish activity.
