Feedback & Reports

Lots of little brownies about, lost a good 1lb and a really nice 2/3lb fish at the bank before netting. Went through the wet fly, euro nymphing and dry. Wind and bright sunshine wasn’t helping but in between fishing was good. Had to leave at 5pm but the dry fly was coming to life then.
Unfortunately there is a great deal of algae/weed along this stretch of the Towy.

3 x Brown trout about 1lb and 2 smaller. All returned safely. 2 on blue flash damsel fished quickly top of rapids and 1 on small black nymph near swing bridge, railway beat. River good conditions.

River quite high, though clarity had improved

Very warm, low water, small trout but escaped!

Not quite to plan. Tried to fish "The Baskets"but found an extensive jungle of 12Ft high himalayan balsam. Fought my way to the water and had to wade deep to make a decent cast. Nothing moving.Obliged to retrace my steps in order to get out and then gave another impersonation of a scene from "The African Queen" in order to reach open ground. And it got worse!
Moving to the tail of the long pool I waded out onto a 10" deep glide over large pebbles and, whilst flicking a fly into a smaller pool, fell in, drowned my phone and snapped 7" off the top section of my Hardy fly rod! Oh joy unconfined.
I've fly fished for many years, love the Tywi and though a fishless trip is not a novel experience I would hope that my impression of an inebriated cormorant will be!

My second time here, this time 10 brownies swinging wet flies. Some very deep wading and strong currents, quite a bit I wasn’t able to fish this time. Looking forward to returning!

Bit of a recce for potential seatrout night fishing .
Good to see fish are moving up as I disturbed a 5-6 Lb fish out in the open in a temporary lie in only 1ft of water.
3 trout from the same place in the same pool in 3 casts !
