Feedback & Reports

Lots of Salmon showing in the early morning but takes apart from 1 pike . We must have seen at least 15/20 fish in the lower pools. Thanks to Adam for his help and also to the staff at Ye Hostelrie Goodrich especially Andy. I would recommend staying here anytime you are in the area.

1 Pike

one chub to a hitch fly, got the pulse going for a minute !

River very low and clear but had four 5 - 6 Ib barbel from the top end where there was the fastest water and least weed. Plenty of salmon leaping and mostly courteous canoeists but they didn't bother the fish as I caught throughout the day (between 10 am and 5pm). All fish fell to 14mm sausage pellets with PVAs of loose feed pellets and 3oz leads. Still my favourite WUF beat, glad it's even more left alone these days!

Did not fish. Edw very low on water.

I love this beat, hard work but worth it.
All trout caught give nothing up. Fished tenkara today which works well here, catapulting nymphs under trees, great fun. Biggest was about 10 inches. One about 8 inches lept out of the stream in to a bedrock puddle not much bigger than it self.

My booking here last year had been washed out to the red-mud flow of the Llynfi Dulas in flood. Also I knew this beat had been cleared in February and so I really wanted to try it. I fished for 5 hours and managed just half the distance. This beat is a series of great pools, and even with generally low water in the catchments, a reasonable flow. 8 fish were caught to dry and 4 were plump 10" trout. Stealth is everything here.

We love 'Saggers Court' for the setting and wildlife. The fishing suits a roving style so that's what we do.
We located a few barbel but they were literally between a rock and a hard place and so tricky to tempt although we did get one of them out which was satisfying.
A few droppers of hemp and pellet were popped in a few swims and duly fished after a rest and they produced some action on a steady day.
Wildlife today, green woodpecker, kingfisher, buzzard, tree creeper, and bird that acted and looked like a dipper but was the wrong colour so we named it 'The Twerker'.
A great day down the river.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

No catch. Weather bright and hot, water low and clear. Klinkhammer flies.

Very quiet, no sign of a fish the whole time I was there. Bursting with insect life, Kingfishers and flowering plants, surprised not to see a trout rise. Deeper than I expected in places, very pretty beat.
