Feedback & Reports

Another beautiful still Autumn day but river low and clear. Top end swims produced only a couple of Barbel early on and then nothing for the rest of the day. One of our party walked down to the bottom and had 3 barbel and 4 chub in the pm.

5 Barbel, 6 Chub

Additional rod to the report of same date.

River still relatively low and clear. Quite a few grayling rising. Caught 4 to a dry fly and lost many more!
Spent a great day fishing with an old school friend. This is a lovely beat and one we shall definitely return to at a future date.

4 Grayling

Excellent beat, although the grayling were fairly small (half pound).

9 Grayling

Firstly my sincere apology to mr V.C from Holmfirth, I found his rod and reel.....well my car did, it ran over the reel and squashed it ! , how it missed the rod I will never know . I hid it behind my car just in case someone came back for it , and on my return it had gone ( his friend collected it ) again very sorry!. as to the fishing , well I caught loads of small grayling ( only 19 over 8") and 5 oos trout up to 12". the biggest grayling was 12". the water was very clear and nearly spot produced.( could`nt fish near the cottage) all fish caught euro nymphing, didnt see a single fish rise!

5 Trout, 40 Grayling

No fish today although conditions looked perfect !

2 Anglers, AL took 12 fish oos trout BG took 6 fish including one oos trout.
All fish to nymphs in duo or French leader.

2 Trout, 16 Grayling

Very nice conditions today: 13 degrees, river clear and 1’ 5” on the Llanstephan gauge. Expected a better return than 3 grayling (best 14”) and 2 oos trout (12”) but that’s life.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Couple of hours after work produced a nice double figure pike on a mackerel tail from the upper end of the beat, lost a fish also. River low-ish and clear water, warm sunshine for the time of year.

It's a shame that WUF cannot offer a discounted half day ticket, as to pay £23 for 3 hours fishing seems rather a lot.

1 Pike

28 x grayling 10-16 inches, 4 x out of season trout 6-14 inches, trotting and a few at close range on the Tenkara outfit. A very nice average size of grayling, quite a few 15 and 16 inch fish and very few shotts - just what we like to think we can expect from the lower Irfon. An unusually warm day, very still and almost soundless except for the distant rattle of musketry from the ranges. In fact there were some good hatches and rises around midday - willow fly and the smaller, autumn version of dark olives. A dry fly rod would surely have done well during these.
