Feedback & Reports

Belated report. Grilse 5lbs taken in rapids at Redbrook on Friday by R W, spinning.

1 Salmon

Fished 2pm til 9:30pm. Scorching hot, no wind or breeze to take the edge off the heat. Patchy during the day with Chub taken on the float and Barbel on pellet in the evening.
River quite low. Lovely beat, will return.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fished above the orchard (after a poor day below yesterday) Only a few swims available. BB under trees near parking had all the fish, hard work but cooler. Barbel 6lb and larger one lost, plus the chub.
I fished upstream just above the stile, full sun all day and blanked, tried most things with no success. iPhone overheated! Better luck next time.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

Fly. Very little surface activity and no better sub-surface. Fished from 6pm until dusk. No offers. Water temp probably too high around the margins (seems as good an excuse as any).

It was an extremely hot day with the sun blazing down, fishing with the pellet, we had no bites, then exchanged to sweet corn and caught chub. We both caught eels on sweet corn. We will be back when there is a little more colour in water. A fantastic venue.

9 Chub, 5 Other

Blanked. Plenty of fish activity and the place was swarming with all sorts of flies, but after trying every fly in my box, without a single pull, I decided to call it a day.

This was a new beat for me - nice to be able to get it on a WUF ticket. Excellent access, by Welsh sea trout fishing standards; the main beat car park is practically in the river by the Railway Bridge pool. River extremely low and air temperature stayed hot almost till dawn. Not an easy night, although some very good fish showed. One modest sewin of about 2 pounds on a Weapon of Mass Destruction (somebody had to come up with a fly with that name) fished deep and late.

1 Sea Trout

One brown trout of half a pound. Diawl Bach. That was in the early morning. No fish in the evening; the river was significantly higher in the evening, with some splashy rises, but not much.

Fished on ledger using worm. Returned one brown and one rainbow both under size and looking healthy. 4 fish in bag, all rainbow 3 in perfect fin condition, 1 with stubbed left fin. Water condition was excellent, no rubbish around bank and excellent parking. The warden was very friendly and quick to check permit. Due to inconvenient problems only managed five hours fishing would think that if I was there all day would have reached bag limit. Will be returning soon hopefully for a full day!
