Feedback & Reports

Another lovely day on this well kept beat the fishing was a bit slow which I put down to the very warn sunny and humid conditions. I was also fortunate enough to meet the keeper who is a very nice man with a great knowledge and passion for this wonderful river. Thanks once again W.U.F

Fished from mid day to 7 pm at bottom of beat by the Lugg. Started immediate with 2 small barbel, 1 to pellet, 1 on meat. Then went off for a while but soon we had the chub. 2 on meat and 3 on pellet. AB then caught regular 5 small chublets on pellet nothing bigger than 6 ounces.
Met with Glyn who was very helpful. A well kept fishery with relative easy access even for us old'uns. The river wasn't performing today.............

A challenging day, arrived at first light to find the river rising very slowly. But then began to fall around late morning. Caught the majority of the fish in the faster water. The river then began to rise again which added a foot of extra water from 4.30 to 7 when we decided to call it a day.

First of 3 days on different beats, we had wanted to float fish the end swim but the river was still up, settled in the middle on the feeder until Glyn arrived and advised us to move further down, we ended with 3&2 Barbel to just under 7lb, river looked good and felt as if we should have done better.

Slow start but fish arrived latter in the day
Meet Glynn at lunch time confirmed we had selected the correct swims with the river 2/3 feet up coloured and rising. Most fish taken on ground bait feeder with pellets or favoured meat. Best fish 7lb. Good day Thanks to Glynn for his advice.

Walked the length of the beat and was dismayed to see that the river was well up and roaring through covering the rocky outcrops. Selected a number of swims near the Hut and rotated through the day. Caught all the fish in the first and last 2 hours of the day. Speaking with another angler on the next beat and he thought that the dams in mid Wales may have been opened causing the river to be up and really fast. Used 6 and 7oz feeders to hold bottom whilst streamer weed, bushes and branches came down the river. Lost 2 barbel in the current.
Swans were a nuisance especially the tagged Swan 35C so please give it my regards... also had an issue with 2 canoeists who were going against the flow and who showed complete disregard for me (both got a talking to) and the other angler displaying a complete lack of watercraft, hopefully they don't come back!!!
