Feedback & Reports

Fished spiders and gold heads on a 3wt Nymph rod with 3wt floating line, across fast water. Caught both at about 13:00 in overcast conditions with water at 1'10" On the nearest Gauge to Abernant. Very pleased since both were lifers for me. Both took a Partridge and Orange on the top dropper.

River high and coloured after heavy rain. Considerable debris, leaves and tree branches, coming downstream. Extremely difficult access with high himalyan balsam preventing upstream movement. I fished with weighted nymph and did manage to find some good water on beat 2. No rising fish. Blank return.

Some nice chub up to 4lb to feeder and boilie in the faster water.

5 Chub

Literally caught 100s of Dace of the trot from multiple swims. And a good head of small chub. Shame that the majority of swims are inaccessible. Needs a lot of work.

20 Chub, 100 Other

Very blustery and rainy day but the fish were very obliging with 17 trout to hand and as many again either missed or plucks. Most fish were just sub surface but a few were tempted off the top with a Griffiths Gnat. Main fly of the day was Coch Y Bunndu with a dark brown wet with a bronze body, fished on a very slow retrieve. It was a battle with the weather but loved every minute of it, see you next season.

After beating that hill again, we settled in the top field for the morning, feeling that the woods swim would not be accessible.

The river was up from summer levels, fast and steady with a tinge of colour.

We caught steadily, barbel to 6lb and chub to 4lb before moving to the near field late afternoon, fishing by the hut. This produced a couple of chub and the largest barbel of the day of 7lb 12oz which fought like a tiger in the flow.

All fish were caught on the bottom with a mix of lead and feeder, meat, pellet and boilie.

6 Barbel, 22 Chub
