Feedback & Reports

Overhead and river conditions looked spot on, pity the fish didn’t agree.
No insects hatching and no rising fish, sadly.

Fished Dolgau for approximately 12 hours. River running higher than on previous visits, with a good flow and relatively clear water. Bright, sunny conditions throughout much of the day. Covered the available water thoroughly using both single-handed and double-handed fly rods, varying flies and presentation.

No salmon seen, caught or hooked, and no signs of fish moving throughout the session.

Despite favourable water levels, the river appeared devoid of salmon activity.

All on nymphs, two of the biggest grayling about 1.5lb each. You definitely need a wading stick for this beat, I used one but still went for a swim.

River came up overnight by 20 - 24 inches dark brown unfishable for the most part pub was the better option

River was high and brown. Tough conditions but was able to poke a few out the margins.

4 Trout

Tricky day but found a few honey holes which produced reasonable numbers. Biggest around the 35cm mark.

Such an interesting beat but a bit cheeky at times. Lost a big G on sedge early on and then had fun with mid-size fish with a couple of grayling in the 35-40cm range.

Wading staff a must for me. The kingfisher will keep you company. As Arnie says......I'll be back!

Cold wet day was not the best conditions but gave it a go. Enough water to play with but river still low. Access was difficult even with wall walkway and very very slippery underfoot, say no more. No luck this visit but nice to be out. An expert fly fisher would have caught. Being only my second visit it showed.

A productive session with 4 grayling and 1 trout to the net. All fish were carefully handled and returned safely.
