Feedback & Reports

A hard day in bright sunshine and low conditions. Two chub and a barbel on the float from the Boat Pool. Switched to the tip for the afternoon but no wrap rounds. Fished pellet on the float and a mix of small pellets or meat on the feeder on the Wyebank pool.

Visited the beat the previous (overcast) evening and got tips from helpful fella fishing ????. However my day’s fishing was one of blazing sunshine, sunburn and serious overheating! Shouldn’t complain! A few of the chub were over 5lbs, one probably nudged 6lbs, right down to much smaller fish but the barbel weren’t having it and I had to leave before the sun came off the river and barbel prospects may have improved. I also massively underestimated the weight needed to get down, static and safely holding in the deeper far bank areas where the fish seemed to be holding. Newbies note, when your rig stops bouncing along the bottom and seems to hold, you are probably snagged. This is very civilised fishing, fabulous access in dry weather and picnic tables. I wouldn’t risk driving my van down to the bottom in any sort of wet weather though. A somewhat casual day….

A school boy error, went yo Llanddewi about an hour and a half too early !!! Trout looking uo from half twelve.... eleven bells was not breakkie time for salmo trutta !!!
Fished the tip section and a bit below the Camdaudwr Brook confluence ..... River sat at a lively height, watching the gauge, fantastic, and seems to have given the Rocks a goid clean of old algae too....... cracking !!!
Dry fly sport as always!!!! Well, accuracy is key yi success and stealth ...... Twi things that'll stand you in good stead on the wild streams ..... Great fun here as I fished right to thf top of the beat by the wooden cattle fence crossing the river. Good takes to my dry, particularly in tight pocket water ..managed foot or five violent takes to my dry in the smallest pocket !! Plus side is, they've hardly any time to make s decision, food or not ????? I'll chance it.....lol !!!
Fish between six and eleven inches today .... cracking few hours, got out at half two, a fun session when it warmed up !!! Another wild stream tommoz, been nice out with the gossamer 6 foot 2 weight, as I've had a few days on Nantymoch and the Elan Valley ....Cracking fun too ... The best 14 quid you can spend on a days wild brownie fishing is at Nantymoch ....Spectacular views and get the weather right two or three dozen fish in the day ....Lovely stuff !!! Right, coffee time me thinks .......

Wading is very difficult. In most of the stretch it is impossible to get down to the river unfortunately.

Good day, but the stream is still low, but lovely and clear. Two WBT plus one Perch and big surprise a Rudd!! All on nymph. Quite a few takes especially in the afternoon.

Farmer still has cows in the field and the electric fence is still on, but no problems gaining access.
