Feedback & Reports

Excellent quality fishing. Large fish present and a few caught though quite a challenging Llyn to fish due to weeds.

Despite the undoubtedly beautiful setting , for someone like myself who's legs are 'shot' this is not an easy beat to find a comfortable place to set up.The banks are relatively steep straight into the river , so your tackle was inclined to slip south or fall over. The best spots were at the top of the beat either side of the diesel water extraction unit...personally I would rather listen to the bird song. Next time I shall come armed with shovel, chainsaw & ear defenders.
Having said that we did catch one or two well conditioned chub on trotted spam . We should have done better but spent a lot of time 'sussing' the beat out which you need to do on every new venue.
We are lucky to have so much choice; Thanks WUF.

A cold wind took the edge of the day and only 3 rises we seen. Very little fly life on the water. Nothing was interested in a variety of nymphs either, very frustrating fishing. The wildlife was spectacular. Dippers, Kingfishers feeding a nest, sparrow hawk chasing a wagtail and i even managed to lure a mink into swimming across the river to a squeal!
Downsides!
2 families with wet suits swimming, splashing and generally having a good time made the middle section of the beat un-fishable (i believe from the campsite on the far side of the river). The steps down to the river need to be trimmed back. I don't mind wild fishing but this is a bit much, waders and nets are at serious risk!
Overall a beautiful beat but very expensive given the lack of access and disturbance.

NO FISH AGAIN! third time of fishing here in 3 weeks, not a bite, very poor, obviously not being stocked regularly. I used to fish this reservoir back in 2001 regularly and had some great trout, started up again and nothing.

River quite fast and coloured from overnight rain. Only slight wind. Dry.
Very few fish rising.
All fish caught on Klinkhammer and nymph

Lovely place. I am quite inexerienced and was probably using the wrong flies - used GRHE, cruncher and Diawhl Bach nymphs,but no bites.

River looked good but another slow day with the barbel. Just one bite and a fish of c.6lbs+ in mid-afternoon. Moving swims and changing bait brought no change. Chub were more obliging - plenty of bites; many missed. Catch was mostly small fish but a couple of three-pounders among them.

only two fished on the day, wood stretch very low and dropping throughout day. feeder fished, shorter hook links more productive. crab or krill based bait most effective. Most fish came from pipe swim 3/4+ out. Weather humid and mostly overcast. barbel from 4lb to 8lb.
