Feedback & Reports

Enjoyed an hour putting a heavy fly through the Rectory Pool - no luck. Hatch of LDO and other flies drifting down the river with just the odd rise. Good to be back on the river.

Used 'Klink and Dink' method.
Hard going, nothing rising despite a hatch.
The river was quite high and pushing through pretty hard so caution was required wading.
I tried all points along the beat, and varied the length to my nympth, as well as trying different nympths.
Still turned out to be a wonderful day - don't begrudge a penny!

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

River 2ft 2" and 5ft visibility; near perfect. Fished the morning and had a cock salmon of 19lbs on a #6 Bann shrimp from the top of Rock pool which now resides in Abercynrig hatchery. Fish showing in all pools fished and had another offer in the Gravel catch.
In evening the other rod had 2 more salmon from the Rock pool.

Had a go from 12pm until 5pm. Not much fun though, very wet and windy and river rose 4" while I was there. Clarity not great, just over a foot or so I would think. Did see 2 coloured 10 pounders in the top of the rock pool. Other points of interest were an otter working the Bridge Pool and a tailess (bob-tailed) fox working the far bank at the Gravel Catch and then sheltering by the dying Oak tree.

Water still very high & coloured, although we did give it a fish where the wading wasn't too dangerous; One small trout took a very large, heavy Alley Shrimp tube on a sink line. No salmon seen or caught.

15lbs cock fish from Mill Stream on a conehead Willie Gun, saw few other fish moving and had a good pull in tail of Rock pool. First time here and liked it from first glance. Beat with great potential in right conditions. Will be back to see it at its best. Thank you.

Nil salmon - low water, very bright. Several small trout from bridge pool and the flats and a grayling of 1.5lb.
Salmon seen in Rectory pool 10 mins before I had to leave but showed no interest in the short time I fished it!!
Many thanks.

No salmon caught, 1 seen in Rectory pool.

Good salmon lost in the neck of rectory pool at 11am. Only fish all day.

First time on this beat and very impressed. Varied, challenging water and great scenery. Lost a decent fish in Rock pool at 8am and saw another fish move in Rectory but nothing except a half pound trout caught. Looking forward to returning next Tuesday.
