Feedback & Reports

A great day for the pike angler with a 14lb 5oz and a 21lb 6oz landed. The barbel angler lost a really good barbel and landed a chub around the 5lb mark.

We will definitely be back.

1 Chub, 2 Pike

Apart from shotts, 10 x grayling of which 2 good ones and 6 out of season trout. A mixture of trotting and bugging in water which was still very high, but hard fishing and we didn't really contact a good shoal. Most of the trout had not spawned.

River at 0.62 and falling slowly. Visibility at about 2'. Rod rings icing up (forgot the glycerine), I don't think the air temp got above freezing. Hard going today, fished from 9.30 till 2 and didn't find any fish until 1pm
1 cracking o.o.s. trout of 16" from a long glide thats usually productive, but nothing else. Eventually found some grayling in a spot right under my feet. Largest was 10", smallest 3".

Enjoyable day, the valley was picture postcard with frost.

3 x grayling 13-16 inches, trotting. River still pretty high, cold and clear. Freezing fog remained all day in the Irfon valley

River was still carrying some extra water but had a good colour. It turned very cold over night and there was a hard frost, so I wasn’t expecting much. Started at the bottom end and didn’t get anything all morning. Moved to the top end in the afternoon and switched from boilies/pellets onto meat and that seemed to work. Had a period between 2:30 and 4:30 with quite a few bites, then slowed down again as it got colder in the evening. Barbel 7.12, best Chub 5.8. Much improved access to swims since my last visit.
