Feedback & Reports

A good day with a huge varied amount of fly life including suplhurs, mayfly, grannom, stoneflies, olives, midge and brook duns. Two 1.5lb Shad were caught on nymphs and safely released. Fish were taken on a mixture of nymphs, small streamers and a lot on dries. DHE and comparaduns in various sizes and colours worked well. The wading was challenging due to the slime and weed on the boulders meaning two of us ended up taking an unplanned swim.

Mainly fishing the faster runs with team of nymphs.
The bonus was a 12" trout which came off the top to a light green bodied klink.
Good to see so many different insect species buzzing about over the water.
Other were two tiny salmon parr, returned quickly swam away well.

Trout were in the faster water below the suspension bridge. Tricky wading in that part of the beat.

The fish were caught in Dolmeudwy, Cottage pool and Spring pool, with an assortment of spiders and nymphs. A few more fish showing on the surface today but couldn’t tempt them to take any dry flies.
Trout to 12’’ , Grayling to 13’’. Surprisingly, no shots or parr.

Plenty of rising fish all along the beat, though mostly down the bottom towards the bridge. Most turned out to be grayling who all seemed full of energy but always seemed ti trout about. All fish between 10 inches and 16 inches and returned safely.

Concentrated on the water between the suspension bridge and the bottom of Dolmeudwy. There are some interesting glides and hollows, as well as Dolmeudwy’s pools , which were holding fish. Gloopy underfoot and a four hour wade. Trickles of olives throughout kept fish looking up, but all flies on the cast attracted takers.

9 x Grayling 6-13’’ and 11 x trout 7-11’’, plus many juvenile fish that are still plentiful here. Also one lovely trout of 17’’ which took a hackled GRHE in skinny water in the flats below the bridge pool. A few trout also came to a # 14 F-fly very late on , below the brook at the top of the beat.
Very enjoyable day and nice to get a few off the top for a change on this water.
