Feedback & Reports

No fish caught, fishing abandoned after 2 hours far too many canoes at least 3 large groups covering most of beat.

My first visit to this beat. Looking upstream from Lower Llanstephan when fishing there last week it looked very inviting with lots of likely looking water. One the day of my visit the gauge showed 1'9" and the air temperature was an unseasonal 14deg. Everything seemed set for a productive day but alas, no fish to speak of; one small grayling and one oos trout. The almost total absence of taps from fish told me it was just one of those days when the fish were not in the mood. Still, a nice beat and I will try it again soon.
Incidentally I found the fishing hut unlocked with the padlock seemingly unoperative.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

grayling 8-14 inches and 3 small trout. size 10 grey duster parachute and 14 Waterhen Bloa, cast to rising fish. Great few hours.

3 Trout, 15 Grayling

River a little low but in great condition, fish rising early on, fantastic stretch of river. Kayaks from Surrey University were asked to to leave the river as they had not checked river levels that were way to low. 2 Grayling and 8 OWBT
(WUF Note: the Kayaks did actually leave the river)

8 Trout, 2 Grayling

35" cock fish for John Averill from the Spring Pool Gutter on a self tied Dee Monkey variant. A really deep, muscular fish which we estimated at 18-20lb.

1 Salmon, 3 Trout

Lovely days fishing at Gromain, water just under a foot on gauge and gin clear. One cock Salmon, coloured, estimated at 15lbs from spring pool.

1 Salmon, 1 Grayling

5lbs caught by Nick James from Ferry and another lost. Party of canoeists caused disruption (no fish caught later) and claimed existing agreement null and void. Spoke to them at Boughrood and found that majority of canoeists had been misled by leader into undertaking trip.

1 Salmon

An enjoyable days fishing; sadly no salmon today (except a kamikaze trout in the Ferry Pool) although with the water at about a foot on the gauge conditions felt good. It was nice to catch up with Roger Kempshall who was also fishing Gromain as we hadn't seen him since last year.
