Feedback & Reports

By a fair margin the most difficult stream I have ever fished, made harder still by the fact that two trees have fallen down across it, only one of which I could limbo under. Unfortunately this particular stream isn’t one you can get out of very easily (or at all) so I just had to Wade back down the river. Despite all that I plan to return (with machete and compass!) another time as it is a lovely tributary and I ought to have caught more than the one I managed. I had a wading staff and waders with felt soles and still managed to fall in twice.

Very hot, no movement track is still a problem due to wash out

Well had all intentions to head to one of the Cilieni beats ,but didnt relish the thought of an hours journey in this heat !!! So plumbed for one of my favourites!!! Again stifling even at ten to eight when I parked up , reading 17 degrees in my truck and rising fast !!!

Tackled up the usual six foot two weight rod , and opted for a tiny 18 Parachute pheasant Tail, worked a treat and casting to risers and prospecting had some lovely takes this morning ! Superb fun . . .

Rivers getting a tad low now , even from a week ago !! Did notice some otter spraint up by the weir too, were I called it a day , and cut out into the field at half eleven . Eight portly , feisty chaps between seven and ten inches to the net and a couple missed . Must do the whole beat one of these mornings after three shredded wheat !!! As it's a jungle up passed the weir !!!lol !!!

Great fun as always and a really pleasant three hours sport , lovely job !! Will attempt to get to the Upper Cilieni next week !! Happy days . . . .

No fish caught but plenty rising just past the aquatic vegetation but I could not cast to where they were rising since I don't have chest waders and I would catch the bank vegetation.

They were seemingly on the Coch-y-Bunddu pattern or tiny black gnats.

Stunning scenery so not a bad place to have a blank. Will invest in some proper waders for the next visit.
