Feedback & Reports

Whist the weather was good, I used meat and a light ledger tactic dropping in many of the available swims during the morning and caught 4 chub. As forecast, the weather in the afternoon changed to wind & rain, so decided to go with a feeder and boilie rig from under the protection of my brolly - Caught 1 barbel.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

Usually a prolific stretch for us but an influx of cold water made it challenging. All fish caught other side of woods in pellet tactics

2 Barbel, 14 Chub

1 Grayling and 1 Trout caught just above where the Taff meets the Cynon. 1st on double nymph at the junction and single in the shallow water above.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Spent a couple of very wet hours on Dee Farm Pool with no success, driving wind, rain and leaves made fishing with dry fly very difficult with especially tricky wading. Later moved to Sun Bank Beat by the Golf Course. Much easier going, with more wind shelter and less rain. Caught three Grayling in quick secession then headed home. All on size 18 Parachute Adams

3 Grayling

River was pretty high but clear and rain was relentless which started as soon as my first cast at 12am and didn’t stop until my last cast at 4pm. All fish on nymphs, I had to go down to size 20 to get any interest, all fish taken on the dropper size 20 with a heavy point fly. As usual crazy slippery rocks on this beat especially under the bridge up past the second house. Largest 14” no grayling.

6 Trout

Having blankets last Saturday and Sunday we managed better on other stretches. This gave us a different approach to today's session. Early morning was rewarded with a chin and a Barbel.
