Feedback & Reports

Fished upper section from the Trout Inn. Access over fence into field (?). There is a very deep hole just at the entry point to the beat. Fish all came from one riffle on small gold head pheasant tail nymph under a pale bodied klink. One mayfly spotted, a few small upwings. Very clear water. A few trees down further up the beat, but generally easy wading and a lovely beat.

Fished lower section of Cammarch. Section is as described, lots of smooth water and some riffles. A number of deep scours to be aware of. Water very clear, few flies coming off and no rises. No fish landed but a few came up to a pale bodied Klink.

Clear water, bright day but still a bit cold. Caught nothing and saw nothing.

Went to the top of the beat to start. Fished downstream for a few hundred yards. Had one pull but it did,nt stick. At midday went the other end of the beat but no joy. No hatch and no fish in evidence. Progress upstream very difficult due to overgrown banks

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.

Having fished Aberbwtran in the morning and first time in the area I looked in on this beat. Only fished for an hour and covered the first few pools. Fishing duo on my Tenkara rod I had 1 on the Sedge dry and 3 on a bead nymph all around 8 inches. Definitely worth another look.

The river was running low, and clear with very little fly life in the morning.
Started on nymphs and picked up a few fish, as the day went on a few fly started to come off and by mid afternoon switched to a dry and the fish seemed happy to rise, there were a few Yellow Sallys amongst a mixed hatch.
Its a long beat and I only fish the lower section but there are some lovely pools and in better conditions I imagine it could fish well.
