Feedback & Reports

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.

1 x Grayling which was returned. Caught on a Grey Wulff.

Sunshine and cloud, river clear with plenty of water.
13 wbt (5" to a handsome specimen of 14") and 3 grayling (9" - 12") all safely returned. Not a day for the dry fly aficionado with very few fish rising. Although the big brownie did take an emerger pattern. I have fished this beat on many occasions and it reveals another secret time and time again. I think it's quite daunting for the less experienced angler but the more you work it out the better it gets. GRHE (sorry I know that's a really unimaginative pattern) was undoubtedy the fly of the day, fished on the point with a Spider dropper and was deadly at the tail of some of the deeper pools.
Really pleased to end my last trip of the season on such a high. Thank you as ever to WUF for making this quality of fishing accessible to all.

1 x Grayling on a Grey Wulff. No fish taken.

No salmon caught or seen. One salmon of about 10 lb hooked at Cillaiu Falls at 7.30pm, giving a good fight until shaking off the hook just before reaching the net. Strangely, the river began to rise suddenly at about the same time, probably due to a release from Elan. Full sun all day.

Good fishing conditions. River around 1 meter. Temperature 59 deg F, Water clear. No fish caught. No fish seen all day.
Was pleased to see the new planks. Good job, well done.

Sorry, nothing to report.

None caught, had few takes on dry but missed them. River was full and slightly discoloured.

Beautiful setting river was a bit up & colored we fished one rod for salmon & one trout rod. Saw some big colored Salmon jumping but no takers except for 3 nice brownies on a monkey fly. I fished prince nymphs & tungsten hares ears landed 3 browns lost a few & lots of rattles. Really enjoyed the day will return again when watet is lower.
