Feedback & Reports

Fished from 11am till 4pm. Took 3 browns on small nymphs in Gravel Catch and 2 Grayling. Missed 2 sizeable fish or what i thought were sizeable. All fish caught were released and between 10-12 inches. Perfect day, slight cloud cover, no wind.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

2 grayling, 9 brownies. Caught on mix of dry & wet fly inf. daddies. We found two access gates were padlocked, one at top end of beat to get access to the foot path, and the access to footpath in middle of beat near the bridge.
(WUF note: former can be scaled but builders should have left access to the latter- will investigate)

Only managed a couple of hours fishing between the thundery showers. No fish caught but several splashing about in the gravel catch.

Fished the Gravel Catch at 6.30pm when the sun had finally gone off the river and the wind had sub-sided. 10lb hen salmon took gently from a lie up-stream of the wires and mid-river. Pool looking superb with height on Llanstephan gauge 1ft 9ins. #10 Park Shrimp. Expertly landed by the dynamic duo: Joe Gooch and Ryan Saxon visiting from Boatside beat. Returned to the river with an explosion of white water.

Didn't fish in the end as it was too high to warrant the drive up from London

Fished Upper Glangwy and the Rock from 7am without success. Returned to the river at 5pm with no takes on the Rectory neck but the flow was so positive I headed for the Bridge pool. A resounding take about 4-6 casts down from the top and on the inside of the flow eventually revealed a lovely, slightly coloured and spirited cock fish of circa 13lbs. This took me slightly by surprise as all previous takes have been from lies closer to the big rocks further down the pool. A great result also for my first tying of a #12 Park Shrimp though what started as a rather 'bouffant' version now looks slightly chewed up.

2 very small trout all day.

8lb cock fish starting to colour up on Bann Shrimp from the gravel catch

1 Salmon

Colouring cock of approx 13lbs from half way down Glangwy on a Red Frances. It had shunned my Willie Gunn tube first time down. No takers from the Run apart from a fantastic 2lb grayling.
