Feedback & Reports

Many thanks for your advice on fishing the White House fishery last friday. Had an enjoyable day had two fish on but unfortuantely nothing landed! Seemed to be a few stale residents around which lept about during the day and great fun having them slash at a collie dog!
Met the owner who was very helpful and pointed out a few lies and how to get at them. The "grandstand" pool was a joy to fish but the bits upstream a bit tricky; a deep wade on a bank out in the river to cast to the opposite croys below their hut (the little middle croy I had one fish on) but with a deeper channel on the inside getting in/out was difficult! However a good day and great value and suited youngsters like Huw and me!
Many thanks and look forward to the spring. Hope to get over a bit more often!

I would like to thank you for providing this information online. I travel to fish the river Wye at Hay, from Dorset, and the journey of 140 miles can now be made knowing the condition of the river is fishable.
I am sure that hundreds of anglers will be greatful for this service.

24 fish caught between the 2 of us, mostly Grayling. Although conditions seemed perfect there didn't seem to be much of a rise as we had seen on previous visits. There is so much water to fish here its hard to find where the fish are shoaled up, although we are starting to build up an idea of certain hotspots, but i'm sure this will all change on our next visit!

18 Grayling biggest to about 14 inches and 2 Brown Trout around 10 inches.
The beat is really beautiful but could do with just a little more trimming. I would in no way let this put you off fishing it, as the catch return from above is for a short afternoon session about 3 hours.
If this beat stays so under fished it should provide excellent sport for those of us who know it is there.

My son and I fished this wonderful water (Cefnllysgwynne)last Thursday. What a lovely river. Our catch report is rather poor. We both had several small grayling with 'bugs' out of shallow, fast water but the surroundings were excellent. Charles was both helpful and equally surprised we caught so little but that is fishing......or maybe we were poor fishers. Whatever we will fish it again.

FYI we fished your beat 3 last Wednesday afternoon/evening and Tom took 7 excellent grayling from the top pool whilst I managed a few tiddlers a the lower end of the beat. On Friday we fished your beat 25. We managed to touch a couple of fish, possibly trout, from the deeper pools but nothing on the bank. The day was wonderfully bright and we were soundly beaten by the fish! Superb autumn weather and difficult water for us.

Such great fun. Thank you for your assistance and we will see you again.

Many thanks for arranging the fishing at Llanfechan on 6th October. It is stunningly beautiful. We caught 2 grayling - one of almost 1lb 8oz and lost many.

My faith in grayling stocks is restored. I spent a day on the Llangamarch lower beat of the Irfon yesterday with ten fish four over 40 cm all on dry red sedge. There were some good shoals of fish to be found and good numbers rising. A salmon was cruising the deepest pool. Not a sight of an otter though! Thanks for your advice.

Altogether with my friends we had following booking for last week:

1) Gromain on 27/09/2007- we got to the place quite late and managed to do only couple of hours fishing. Three of us caught 9 grayling ranging from 37 to 41 cm. All fish were returned to water.

2) The Rocks on 28/09/2007 - it was a beautiful day for fishing. Altogether we caught 35 grayling ranging from 30 to 43 cm and 6 trout from 31 to 42 cm. Again all fish were returned safely to water.

One of my friends is a Polish journalist and is planning to write article to Wedkarski Swiat- biggest fishing newspaper in Poland, from our trip.

N.C. and I fished the Wye for the first time last friday. The Weather was bright and sunny but despite this we both caught fish in fabulous surroundings and N. caught his first ever barbel.

Please accept our thanks for all that you do; the fishing and the surroundings really are first class.

M. and I fished the Wye and Usk on the 10th and 11th of September and I just wanted to update you....

We had a good days fishing on the Wye catching 15 fish between us up to one and half pounds. Four of those 15 were grayling. I also lost a couple of substantially bigger fish which moved into fast water (c. 2-4lb mark).

At Fenni Fach we saw a number of cracking trout(3-4lb) sipping of the surface and there was a lot of surface activity around 5pm. The fish however were very very spooky and hard to catch and we only manage to get four good fish up to one and half pounds. I think the seriel rise may have been to caenis because they were very fussy. Fantastic stretch of water! I will be back in June to fish it when the water is higher and to have another crack on Penpont and Glan yr Afon.

Thanks so much for your advice it came up trumps again.
