Feedback & Reports

After reaching the bottom of 'the hill of doom' and then looking at the fishery, I decided as it was pouring with rain not to fish, but to attempt the drive back up before things got too wet, as the last part was steeper than I expected and I was genuinely worried that I might be stuck.

Glad to say I made it with no issues this time, in a Fiat Ducato motorhome....
Looks a beautiful place to wet a line though.

(I'm glad I wasn't at Home farm as the track there is already looking muddy and both cars that came from that fishery, lost traction at the bottom of the hill at first when turning left to get on it.

Size 2 spinner. In heavy wind, and light rain.

Just a short session, starting with a chub every cast, on float fished meat at the bottom of the beat. Couldn't stay long.

Well, was just sublime, getting back out on a wild stream, after weeks of fishing the outflows of the Elan and Claerwen. I must say though, both provided fabulous sport, along with the cool upper Wye, in the gorge, just out of Rhayader..... They have all stayed wonderfully cool, and are great locations to fish ... I've had some big grayling and trout on the dries too, just the best of summer sport !!
Today, I was greeted with a low, but refreshed Clywedog Brook. Lots of leaves now starting to appear on the slower pools, and although she was low, sport was fun in fairness ....Dries as always, six dinky beauties to the net .... best Im guessing was eight inches.... But, superb getting back out on one of the beats I know so well.....
I only fished up to the Elan pipes.... Had my last fish in the cracking pool, just before them. A really satisfying angry take too ....Fantastic !!
Ohhhhh, and to top of a fun three hours, not only saw the kingfisher three times, but a fleeting glimpse of the otter. I think last time I saw Tarka here, was in early May ....Happy days, a fun few hours. Back out in the Elan Valley Tommorrow , guiding ....Lovely stuff !!!

Missed 1, lost 2 (1 of which broke me!!), landed rainbows on a double hookup!! Fortunately they were both under a pound so managed to land them both. One on black buzzer, other on black snatcher fished on washing line.
Perch was caught on fry imitation.

2 Trout, 1 Other

Nil return. Many thanks.
