3 Trout and one Salmon Parr, the biggest trout approx 3/4lb. Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 hours of fishing

3 Trout, 1 Other

The final outing of the long weekend took us to the River Cammarch beat. Having stayed at the Trout Inn in Beulah it provided a very handy couple of hours fishing before the long trek home. At this point I have to say that Dave and Heather looked after us superbly at the Trout Inn with some excellent food and ale, a warm welcome and comfortable rooms.

Starting at the main bridge in Beulah and working upstream, the Cammarch here is an interesting stream with a variety of runs and pools to give the dry fly angler a great sense of optimism. Access to the water is good here, and a small wbt was taken on a grey duster para on one of the slower runs.

Moving up to where the small stream joins, there is a beautiful run which saw 2 small fish snap at the fly but the reactions of the angler too slow to connect. A return to the run on the was back produced another take, but the reactions still way too slow to bother the fish.

If you are looking for a couple of hours of stream fishing without mountaineering or difficult wading then this section of the Cammarch is highly recommended, as is having a meal and a pint in the adjacent Trout Inn.

1 Trout

10 smallish trout and 2 x 10 inch grayling. River running at 1ft looking good, Grayling proved elusive though.

10 Trout, 2 Grayling

Caught on mix of french leader and dry fly, last two fish rising firmly to a Parachute Adams. Had to leave at 2pm to drive home at which point the fishing for the afternoon was looking promising despite gathering storm clouds. The river was at a good height with a slight tinge from rain the night before. Previous day on the Cammarch Hotel beat brought ten grayling to similar methods but in much lower water.

5 Grayling

The river was very low, making it hard going, but we still managed to bag a few.

5 Barbel, 12 Chub

Great days fishing!! 10 barbel with one just short of 10 and the other coming in for a new pb of 10lb 8oz, all the others were between 5-8lb. To top it off I had a new pb chub at 5lb 2oz. All fished were caught feeder fishing with a hair rigged halibut pellet.

After a wet start the weather turned ok, cloudy but no rain. Lots of fish rising but unfortunately no catch!
Disappointed but a great day overall. Glanusk is such a beautiful spot.

Great day on the Wye with this my favourite beat. Slow going but fish taken in a variety of swims between the church and upper reaches. Best barbel was 10lb 14oz and would have been heavier as it was slightly hollow. Best barbel from this beat in 4 seasons of coming here. Spoke to the other angler D on the beat and had a lovely chat, so tight lines for the rest of the week. River still fairly low but all the fish were well rested before release.
