Feedback & Reports

What started out as a reasonably promising night, with a couple of sewin heard jumping in the dark water beneath overhanging trees, ended in fairly disappointing fashion. Midnight agricultural work on the opposite bank under floodlights that burned like a thousand moons repeatedly illuminated the pool, and was also very loud so as to be generally disruptive to my zen vibes. Why not move to a different pool? Well, that's easier said than done on the upper water as there is no bankside path and a maze of barbed wire enclosures that are difficult enough to navigate in daylight. I could have sacrificed what was left of my night vision and driven to a different spot but by the time I was back at the car it was past 1am and raining, so I gave it up to bad luck. The right pool perhaps, but the wrong night.

Very quiet, cold conditions for July!

A fantastic morning fishing on the Tywi with my son. Llandeilo water are starting to show life again like I used to know it when I was a kid.

We were lucky enough to catch several brown trout from tiny ones right up to a cracking two pounder. We also got in to a beautiful sewin again this was about two pounds. This looked like a freshly run fish, really shiny silver straight up from the sea.

It was a couple of days after we had had some rain and the river had dropped back to it normal 0.90 - 1.0 level maybe with still a slight light brown colour to the water. The weather was calm and mild around 15 degrees with a slight mist coming and going over the fields until around 7am where the morning sun began to brake through.

We were only using one rod my 10ft #5 with a 12ft leader. Teaching my son (10) to fly fish with such a beautiful rod is a great joy especially getting into a decent fish or two and him experiencing the joys of the fight and landing a fish on the fly. Almost all the trout we caught were on a size 15 nymph (we call it the Irfon nymph) and the sewin was caught on a size 12 Black Pennell.

Great day fishing. Could have had plenty more had they stuck. Best brownie 14”. Saw 3-4lbs sea trout jump.

Beautiful section of the Towy, we loved the classic look of the pools with fast runs a deep mid sections. Didn’t mind not catching anything or getting wet in the rain but struggled to keep going by 11pm. We heard a big fish jumping out so know there are a few about. Mike

Was at a loose end so had a shot in the dark, 1 salmon lost plenty of sewin moving
