Feedback & Reports

1 x slightly coloured salmon 9-10lb on spinner, returned healthy. River fairly coloured but droping and clearing. Great days fishing.

13 WBT between 2 rods, all 6 - 10 inches. River not too high and wadable throughout. Dry caddis patterns worked from late morning onwards.

Yet more rain the previous day meant I arrived to find a high and still rising river. I fished fairly close in and although action was slower than normal, I finished with 3 barbel, the best weighing in at 9lb 6oz, my best for over a year.
One drawback of fishing the near bank was also catching three eels which,although released safely, make a complete mess of your hooklinks.
All fish caught using elips pellets and a feeder.

Prospects looked better than the previous day with the water fining down but still coloured. First visit to this beat so I relied on info from Simon from WUF for the likely hot spots on this height (2'2" at Lanstephan). He came up trumps - I scored with a colouring 10 lber from the Bachawy wading almost up to my armpits (water not particularly deep but I don't own long legs !!). I latched onto another for a few seconds off Green Bank which came to nothing. Several trout for all 3 rods, 1 around the 3 lb mark. Other rods had no luck with salar.

No fish caught other than 2 small brown trout, 1 salmon seen in evening - river in good condition other than slightly coloured but 2ft height - would be interested in seeing records of catches on this beat ??

River very coloured, 2 metres of extra water and still rising through the morning. Dispite this managed a couple of nice barbel, both around 7lbs. River started to fall a little in the afternoon, but the fish remained unimpressed and I finished with just the two bites. Could have been worse given the conditions!

12lb salmon caught on the Edw pool Sunday morning on a spinner

25 barbel 20 chub on pellet and meat. Caught fish from the top wood down to the bottom meadow.

Caught 2 rainbow trout on small nymphs
3 small perch caught on flies and lures. A little disappointed with the amount bank available for fly fishing on the water tower bank.

DOZEN OR SO BARBEL AND PLENTY OF CHUB FROM TOP OF WOODS TO MEADOW SECTION. ALL FISH TAKEN ON SMALL PELLET. NOT ELIPS PELLETS BUT THE CHEAPEST I COULD FIND.
