ROJ fished on Wed, 10th all day and Thursday, 11th in the afternoon. Lost a fish in Green Bank on Wednesday morning and another in Bathing pool on Thursday afternoon but had a 6 lb-er from Dolmeuddy, Llanstephan on Thursday morning. JL had a 10 lber from the Bathing Pool on Thursday morning. All on size 6 Cascades and sink tip. What a lovely beat!

One salmon taken at Llanstephan - 6 lb grilse returned in good condition on a size 6 ally's shrimp from Dolmeudwy pool. Fishing there rather than Ty-Newydd thanks to Stephen M-S, but I did lose two at Ty-Newydd earlier, idiot that I am!
Many thanks for being so helpful

River running very high although surprisingly I could still see my boots when waist deep so fished all day. No Salmon caught, 2 good pulls below the Bathing Pool and 2 trout landed over 1lb.

4 trout to 14" and 1 grayling of 10" caught on grey wulff. Nice afternoon on this accessible and pretty stretch of water. Will go back.

Nothing landed, one fish showing.

Sunny day. Caught 5 grayling on wets.

Fished Ty-Newydd on way back from fishing tour of South and Mid Wales. Spent the evening before tying 6 para ginger quills in B&B in Aberystwyth as fly box was bereft. Looked a lovely day when we got there - soft overcast but reasonably warm. Patchy hatches throught the day - medium olives and pale wateries - encouraged the fish. Those six flies did their stuff! Shared between the rods 36 fish were enticed and returned - 15 wbt to 15" and 19 grayling - a lot were peas from pod of 8-9" but fish of 14", 2 x 17" and 1 x 19" were the prize catches - but not the biggest fish hooked! A ginger quill was trundling slowly over deep flats when a huge head emerged and gently engulfed it. 3 or 4 kicks with the rod bent double at long distance and the tippet parted - estimates suggest a wbt of at least 3lb! If anyone catches this monster can I have the fly back pleae?

Caught 20ish wbt & grayling on PTN's & small dries all on the small side up to 8inches but great fun. No sign of any salmon moving but stunning beat and excellent day out. Not sure I like standing on the planks!!

Weather and conditions: cool (10 to 15 degrees C), blustery, rain shows (some quite heavy), bright spells. Intermittent and rather nasty downstream wind most of the day. River a good height with very slight colour. Nothing hatching and no rises seen until 6pm. Eleven trout, mostly 10 to 12 inches, plus several trout parr. Four grayling, best c. ¾ lb. Fifteen fish in total. Most taken on deep nymph (gold-head GRHE) and caddis (two fly cast), a few on Adams (14) in quiet water. Conditions not great but still a very enjoyable days fishing. It all looked very dour but the fish were there. Failed to find any of those big grayling pods that are often on this beat. Several salmon seen moving through the rocky area (the spouts) at the lower end of the beat. One of my favourite places to fish. Stayed at Gromain Cottage (many thanks to Ally and Dave who always make us welcome) and had a great feed and a nice pint at the Wheelright’s Arms.

All 3 rods were used. Superb conditions, but surprisingly little rising. In total 19 fish caught, 10 small salmon parr and 9 wild brown trout up to 3/4lb. Caught on selcetion of dry and wet flies: yellow PTN; black knat; conomara black; spider pattern; GRHE; Hare's ear.
Great day thanks.
