Feedback & Reports

River at 1’6”” today and a water temp of 10degrees so chillier than of late.
Nothing caught or seen today.

No salmon seen or took any interest in fc's or Mepps. Trout took large black Mepps. Decent rise on far side of Gravel catch prompted an hour with trout rod. No takers.

A nice day with water levels just right with the clarity good . Started up at the rocks but nothing doing . Bumped into another feller who informed me he had one and showed me a nice pic of a bar of silver he had earlier . Well done on him .

Couple of trout though .

A bit of apathy set in this morning after checking the Llanstephan gauge, still bit high at 2’5”, but as the river seems to be clearing more quickly now after successive spates, I stirred myself , got in the car, and was fishing shortly after 10.00. I had only been fishing 20 minutes or so when the line went solid and I knew I was into a decent sized springer.
The hen fish, a shade over 36”, and with a noticeable deformity, ( or old injury), on the gill cover, eventually made the net and stayed only briefly to unhook and photo before swimming off strongly after a short rest.
Caught on a small Pearly Tosh tube fished on T14.
As a small bonus, a grayling, pushing 2 1/2 lb took the same fly at the bottom of the beat later on. Where was he when I was trying to catch him in January and February?

River in flood, did not fish

Did not fish due to rapid rise in river and high winds.

Nothing seen or caught. 3 feet of visibility and 1’6 on the gauge for most of the day.
