Feedback & Reports

The start of the day 11am, very low cloud and over cast! River very low and no fly activity. 25mtrs from the start of the beat had several takes which I missed, then a fine wbt 30cm 3/4lb and a great fight in the fast glide. Missed several more takes fishing NZ style with a GHE. Then out came the sun which brought on the LDOs and sedges. Change of tactics but still to no avail, these fish I'm sure are just sucking and leaving. It's now 14-30 I'm back to NZ style and another small wbt. Packed up at 15-30, a lovely day in a fantastic location.
Thanks to the W&U team.

We had a very enjoyable afternoon, super scenery but the fish were a bit elusive. 3 trout +1 grayling, all returned.

2 Grayling to 1lb, 6 Trout to 1lb. All returned.

1st rod - 3 small brown trout and 1 grayling.
2nd rod - 1 x 1 3/4lb brown trout and a 2 1/2/lbs trout - stunning fish. All returned.

Successful flies were small olive emrgers, olive pheasant tail (shuttlecock), and tungsten beaded GRHE.

Possibly one of my favourite stretches of water.

Strong wind from the wrong direction and very low water.
The first cast produced a small trout which I thought auspicious!! However it took until 4pm to find more and I only managed 4 fish none bigger than 8" all to Olives. Mayfly about but very little sign of rising fish

A good day on the grayling: had at least 22 fish between us, with the best at 41cm. Also had one brownie. Fantastic to watch several salmon on their redds doing their stuff. Fish came to a mixture of nymph tactics and several on the dry during a midday hatch.

The river was slightly on the high side but managed to find a few fishable spots. 3 smallish grayling + 1 small brownie.
Lost one other fish which felt a decent size. All fish on Czech nymphs. Lovely secluded beat shared only with the wildlife.

First time on Llanfechan and there are some lovely salmon holding pools on this stretch. As for grayling I'm a bit of a beginner so was pleased to catch a couple and lose several more. Best fish @ 18". All on heavy bugs with no rises seen all day. Lovely to be out on an autumn day of heavy showers and weak sun in secluded and beautiful surroundings.

One of the best days fishing I've ever had, despite only 4 grayling between us. Largest around 11". 3 taken on nymph and one on the dry about midday. A few fish started to rise when the sun got on the water and a few olives started to appear. A salmon leapt in one of the pools, and a few out of season trout were caught. Easy parking and didn't see a soul all morning. Privilege to be out there.

Nine grayling caught, mostly over 12" and the largest 15" (approx 1 1/4lb). Fish were rising freely from 11-4, although there were very few flies hatching (needle flies, olives and small sedge). Caught on klinkhamers, Czech nymph, PTN and partridge & orange spiders. This beat seems to be mainly salmon pools but the glide I mainly fished contained a large amount of grayling. Beautiful, secluded location.
