Feedback & Reports

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.

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.

Took my friend Barry and he had a lovely day. Very well kept beat.

Hot, bright day. Not ideal conditions! Despite that, we caught quite a reasonable number of fish on nymphs fished at the head of the pools. A lot of this beat is slow moving dry fly water which is very tricky if the conditions don't suit. Shame it's not combined with Abercrynig any more.
