Feedback & Reports

River low and still falling but water temperature seemed OK. A few sedges and olives around but very few rises. All fish were small, and caught using dark shrimp on long leader with dry on dropper. No sign of any fish bigger than 8oz. Maybe if I'd stayed till dusk …. A lovely section, much more interesting than my last visit as I can see so much more of the river bed and its boulders. That will help when the salmon return.
(WUF please note that the stile in centre of (RH) beat has decayed and is now very dangerous. )

An occasional grayling and trout. One quite large grayling and mid sized brown trout. Lots and lots of parrs though, on larger flies. However nothing damaged, all released. Hope they'll grow nice and big!

River low and lots of slime, wading tricky over the flat bedrock areas. Some flies hatching and occasional trout rising. Prospected with a tiny dry olive and landed 13 at 6" to 11" , missing many more. Lots of parr. Briefly connected with one large trout from a deep run, all in all a lovely day.

Few hours in afternoon, beaten by winds and rain- such is fishing the upland Llyns. No fish caught, despite trying variety of flies. Drove down to boat house.

Tried every bait under the sun, worms, boilies, pellet, corn, bread, cheese, paste... Just wasn't happening. Limited flow. Turned to trotting a stick float and took a couple of 8oz chub on hookable pellet . Weedy and generally very difficult.

The setting on this beat is really special. Good days fishing. We will return.
Thank you.

Fishing as good as yesterday at Lower Backney but from the bank for a change. Caught steadily through out the day with the majority of fish coming from the fast water downstream.
No Anglers present on the far bank to start with, just one short on !Q who kept asking us when we were packing up!
Regular switching of rigs from short to long & vice versa as the day went on brought more fish to the bank. They seemed to back off at times too. The fish came out of the fast water towards the evening & settled in the sluggish swims closer to the access path.
Groundbait feeder & hemp won the day with pellet on the hook. Rolling meat towards nightfall.

Best Barbel was just shy of 9lb, Chub - 4-12.
