Feedback & Reports

No fish caught. Fished for 2 hours from 7am til 9am. Moved 4 sewin in the crewil pool all good fish between 4lb & 8lb using small lightweight flying c. Went through again with small brown trout rapala moved 3 more but all around the 2lb mark. Had very enjoyable couple of hours fishing.

Fished from 11:30 pm until 4:00. The conditions seemed OK but the river was perhaps a little low and there was no moon so it was very dark. We heard a few splashes in the dark but these sounded more like small brownies than big sea trout. There was another fisherman on the upper part of beat and we met two coming off the lower end as we arrived but I don't think they had any luck either.

River was low, not much seemed to be happening. 3 browns caught all on the dry from about 3pm - 5pm
All returned.

3 Trout

On the fly, river was brown and full flowing fast, small sea trout, approx 25cm

River in flood. Some fish seen but not landed. Most activity Crewil pool. Spinning and fly used.

First time fly fishing on the Towe. River was very high, which made it difficult. We ended up wading further downstream of the Crewill Pool where the river meanders. There seemed to be plenty of fish, but not much luck catching them. I only caught one small sewin on a blue flash damsel pattern using intermediate line in the late afternoon. Beautiful fish. Hooked a few bigger ones but didn't land them. Fantastic day though, plenty of wildlife to enjoy and stunning location. Access to the East bank of the river was very poor. Had to carve a route through head high weeds for a long way.

Nil return. The M4 prvented us from getting to the beat before dark and we were struck by several rains showers before dark. We got a couple of knocks but no fish and gave up at 5 am. We will return.
Quick note to the Wye and Usk. Please could you make the major pools on the map of the beat as it is very difficult to see features if you arrive after dark.
(WUF note: excellent idea, will get in place for 2017)

A lovely few hours on the water. As it was an interruption to our family holiday I had to be on my best behaviour and only stay until 1am! It was a shame as there were fish to be caught and quite a few fish sploshing when I tore myself away from the river. I fished the Crewil Pool and had a schoolie on my first cast, fishing a small tube fly. Then as it got really dark I switched to the Jambo and had a lot of interest. Only one fish stuck but it was a cracking 4lber that slammed the fly and gave a brilliant account of itself. I met some members who were very friendly and happy to share local advice - a very positive characteristic of the Llangadog club I have found. Would've loved to have fished through the rest of the night but the family would not have been impressed with me sleeping through a day of our holiday so did the decent thing and left early!

Arrived at 8pm to a rising river. Heavy rain continued making fishing difficult.
