Feedback & Reports

The previous days rain saw the river higher, swifter and with more colour than during my visit the evening before. The river was certainly fishable but presented a totally different challenge. After two hours prospecting to no avail with a variety of techniques I tried a size 16 Blonde Wulff. This earned me four small Chubb, a new Ty-Newydd experience for me. As the afternoon wore on I had plenty of success with a Jonathan Barnes Black Magic nymph, standing in the middle of Ciliau Run fishing across and down either side. Eight trout, mostly small with two requiring use of the net. Quite a few fish wriggled off, more difficult to set the hook fishing that way I find.

8 Trout, 4 Chub

The evening ticket gave me two and a half hours of excellent fishing. Conditions were perfect. Although nothing much was showing on the surface I tempted a steady stream of fish from the depths with a small Griffith’s Gnat. Six Grayling and two Brown Trout to the net with a number of self released and near misses.

Had a great salmon casting lesson with Jonathan Morris,he sorted out some faults and left me feeling much more proficient.
I had 2 small brownies one on an olive,one on a nymph,a happy man returned to Sussex.

River higher than Tuesday and wind made it even more difficult but beautiful day on the river. Still no trout but will try again on my next trip to Wales.
