Feedback & Reports

The river was dropping but still really pushing through, we fished a few pegs and managed 1 Chub at 4lb 2oz and 3 Barbel weighing between 8lb 10oz - 8lb 15oz, caught on pellet and luncheon meat.
Still a great day out!

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

2 Barbel, 8 Chub

Nice stretch but only a few swims available. Other fish were both eels.

1 Chub, 2 Other

2+ metres on the river meant the upstream swims were really barreling through, much more inviting at the lower end of the fishery. Had one and lost two in the big, obvious peg in the second-to-last field, then found a shoal just on the crease 30ft out on the last field. Had 'em lined up by the end of the afternoon, but the driving rain had me chucking it after fish number 7.
Really good, if soggy, day.

booked for a friend, they blanked

Filming for a new 'Fishing In Wales' website with Hywel Morgan and Rob Hughes. We started on llyn Frongoch, approx 10 stocked rainbows between us to 3.5lb and several wild browns around 3/4lb. Then onto Rhosrydd - approx 15 brown trout up to 1lb 8oz. After Hywel left I fished llyn Glandwgan for half an hour, had 3 cracking wild browns there all about 1lb 8oz. Rob Hughes (camera man) had a few casts end of the day on Rhosrydd - resulted in 2 cracking brown trout, best about 1lb 8oz. Aber AA llyns offer some of the best lake fishing in Wales in wonderful scenery.

Tough day; river really pushing through. We moved around and tried different tactics but unfortunately blanked - my first blank on this swim - beginning to think my mate is a curse...
Will be back again.

River Level had dropped approximately a metre since the weekend and remained at the same level during the day, an overcast day with some rain showers. 14 Barbel were caught, meat and pellets were the most successful baits. Bank very slippery and difficult to land fish, don't leave home without a rope and a dog spike

14 Barbel, 1 Chub

First time fishing at Talybont. Tricky weather conditions with dreaded easterly and rain from midday onwards. Fished the end where the river enters the reservoir. Covered lots of water. Caught three very pretty brownies. Two took the Black Pennell on the dropper and the other took a Red Arsed Hopper on point. Saw only my second ever otter in the wild. Great day! Definitely be back when it's warmer.
