Feedback & Reports

Great booking service again. We arrived to a dull windy day, water a lot colder now and lots of leaves. Fished for about 5 hours, sun came later and wind dropped. Had several takes and two nice Grayling followed by a 12 inch Trout, all returned unharmed.
Little scruffy wet flies with a touch of colour worked again here, had a wonderful day.
Parking excellent and river access fine.
Thank you

A 7.5lb cock fish caught in Heol Vach on a 0.5 ins Willie Gun tube.

1 Salmon

Scenic location, shame about the fishing! Windy conditions and lack of knowledge of the most appropriate flies did not help. The beat is short, suitable only for one rod and a bit over-rated. I did not get a touch all day.

Lots of sun, clear water 4C-10c on car computer. No flies, no trout seen, no salmon seen. One expensive picnic!

Lovely day's fishing with almost exactly the same result as when we fished this beat last year - a good-sized and fairly fresh hen salmon at about 6pm. It was caught on an ally's shrimp or something resembling that and was about 8lbs. River level was very low and things had not look promising in the morning. However, we started catching trout in the afternoon and then the Salmon at the end of the day in one of the pools at the bottom of the beat. The river is very well-mainatined here and particularly beautiful. Good pie at lunchtime in the Nantyffin pub down the road too.

Arrived at 8am with the river steady at 0.56m on the gauge. The predicted Arctic blast was under way with a strong downstream wind making casting challenging.
Saw a small red grilse then a larger specimen head and tail on Rock whilst tackling up. A 13lb colouring cock fish accepted my Golden Killer and was safely returned after a lively 15 min fight.
Persisted until 4pm in dazzlingly bright conditions and a strong northerly wind but didn't see another fish. Left for a warming cup of tea, once again counting my blessings.

Weather much cooler than previously (10 C) and water temp 9C. Dry, cloudy, sunny spells. A steady hatch of olives from noon till around 3pm. A few grayling rising at bottom end of beat. Had 2 on dry parachute olive - 1lb 5oz and 1lb 4oz. Also 4 OOS trout, heaviest 2lb 8oz in Craig Llyn pool on dry fly. All fish returned.

The river had dropped by a few inches from our previous visit two days earlier. Best barbel was 8lbs 13ozs and the biggest chub was 4lbs 6ozs. Fish were caught on pellet.

Another lovely day, but fishing hard work with flow and colour dropping.
