Feedback & Reports

We fished about 5 pegs throughout probably the lower 2/3rds of the beat, and caught mainly in 2 pegs about 1/3 upstream of the bottom of the beat. The barbel were ca. 5lb-8lb and the chub 4lb-5lb. All caught on small pellets. A lovely stretch of river, and our only problem on the day was the unseasonably warm weather, which was not conducive to my neoprene chest waders! I note some previous comments of anglers finding difficulty of accessing the beat and swims. I didn’t find access to the beat or to swims on the river ( there were quite a number, fairly well demarcated) a problem, speaking as an able bodied individual. I was hoping to get the float road out and try the very bottom of the beat where is shallow up at the ends of the pool, but ran out of time. It looked tantalising, so maybe next time....

Lovely location , but I would not recommend fishing from the bank , the only way to fish llyn berwyn is by boat or float tube
Which I would say would be good fun

Second trip to Knill and the fishing was fantastic. Used duo and had 13 trout between 6"-9". Morning fish fell to the nymph, with mixed takes in the afternoon. It's a pleasant day to fish Knill as always; clean river and crystal clear water.

Beautiful stretch of river, with some very likely-looking holding pools. Despite not catching any salmon it was good to be out on the Wye again. Many thanks to the member angler and his friend for the advice and hospitality. The river was running clear and was around 1’ 6” on the Llanstephan gauge..

River low and clear with hot and sunny conditions. Tried four different swims all to no avail, the barbel did not put in an appearance. Two chub in the last hour.

Hot and very Sunny caused the fishing to be slow. One barbel in the morning and then most fish in the last hour. Biggest barbel was exactly 9Ib

Nothing caught a few risers seen

We fished beat 2 a great venue easy access to all the the river, with deep sections and fast flow gravel runs well worth a vist we are looking forward to a return visit.

Arrived at dawn and as mentioned for yesterday's feedback, pretty sure I saw an otter working the stretch. We gave it a few hours until the canoeists started again and again tried various swims etc. Nothing, barely a rattle on the tip.
