Feedback & Reports

Dear all, just a big thank you to everyone involved in organizing the walk it was great fun & very rewarding.
Many thanks

Piking on deadbaits. Only 1 run all day, but at 23-6, not to be sniffed at.

Now we've dried out, we just wanted to say how much my wife and myself enjoyed our first Riverwalk last Sunday. The last minute running about done by your staff so that we might see something must have been manic.
We look forward to coming along next year when hopefully the weather might be DRY!

3 Rods : Managed to get a day on the Ithon before the next load of rain sets in - river still up and coloured but what a lovely place ! several good sized trout all of which were a bit lean & ragged after spawning with a few small grayling caught as well. Will definately be back when the water levels drop back.

Thankyou to all who helped organise and impliment the Autumn River Walk. I really enjoyed the whole event.

Hi Wendy and Allyson, Many many thanks for a great and informative day yesterday on the river walk. Please also convey our appreciation to to all the other members of staff for all the work involved.

Blank, except for half a dozen out of season trout, parr etc. Slightly desperate attempt to fish rising coloured water after overnight rain with a new weather front coming in - grayling seemed to have gone on holiday.

Fishing 9th &12th November 2009. Difficult conditions with the river having been recently over the banks and was still quite high and racing through. Mud everywhere. 16 Barbel between us up to 9 and a half pounds and several good Chub. All taken on pellets. Think we didn't do too bad in the circumstances but we'll come back earlier in the season next time.

19 x grayling 10"- 12". Out with the trotting rod on a raw, foggy day, water high but clear. Good fun, although only small fish seemed to be about for some reason and they wanted the bait dragging right on the bottom. A hatch of large dark olives late afternoon produced a small flurry of surface activity and I watched a gentleman from Newcastle Emlyn take one on the dry fly from the Glaslyn pool in the last hour.

3 rods fishing : Muddy day on Whitehouse on Tuesday 3rd November, river dropping slowly. I had 4 barbel spaced evenly throughout the day - not really getting the feeling they were getting their heads down(!) Maybe the 'floodwater' was chilly? The others struggled even more ....

Wednesday 4th November we went to lovely Luggsbridge where a smattering of chub were caught, and one barbel lost in some tree roots. A trifle wet at times, but lovely at others. J. saw an otter, which fished it's way along the stretch - he even got a couple of photos.

Thursday 5th November, back to Whitehouse for a day of sunshine (S. spotted sitting out in his T-shirt for a while!) and showers. Some spectacular rainbows (The meteorological, not the piscatorial kind). I got three very nice barbel (8lb 14oz, 8lb 5oz, and what looked like a mid 7), before lunch. I had 3 chub and 2 eels (on meat - the barbel and chub were all on pellets) in the afternoon and a smaller (5lb) barbel at dusk. The others got 3 barbel and a couple of chub between them.

Will be back in February, before the season runs out!
