Feedback & Reports

Very nice conditions today: 13 degrees, river clear and 1’ 5” on the Llanstephan gauge. Expected a better return than 3 grayling (best 14”) and 2 oos trout (12”) but that’s life.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Couple of hours after work produced a nice double figure pike on a mackerel tail from the upper end of the beat, lost a fish also. River low-ish and clear water, warm sunshine for the time of year.

It's a shame that WUF cannot offer a discounted half day ticket, as to pay £23 for 3 hours fishing seems rather a lot.

1 Pike

28 x grayling 10-16 inches, 4 x out of season trout 6-14 inches, trotting and a few at close range on the Tenkara outfit. A very nice average size of grayling, quite a few 15 and 16 inch fish and very few shotts - just what we like to think we can expect from the lower Irfon. An unusually warm day, very still and almost soundless except for the distant rattle of musketry from the ranges. In fact there were some good hatches and rises around midday - willow fly and the smaller, autumn version of dark olives. A dry fly rod would surely have done well during these.

28 Grayling

A lovely beat with lots of varied water. We fished dry fly and nymph and took fish off the top as well as from down below. Fish were moving to small Stonefly and Sedge on the surface and small orange shrimp patterns fished deep tempted the Grayling. The river was low and clear but fished well. A lovely day.

River clear and weather bright all day, so the barbel were difficult to tempt. However, chub kept the action going in all three swims I tried. Barbel to just short of 7lbs, several of the chub at 3lbs+. Most fish on pellet/feeder, with a couple of the chub on meat.

2 Barbel, 9 Chub

Lovely still autumn day but river low and quite clear and fish hard to find

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

2 anglers trotting found it hard going in every sense, even between us we couldn't quite cover the whole beat in a day so likely missed a couple of pools. We were rewarded with a couple of nice grayling at 14" and 15" - made it all worthwhile though. All the trout were under 10".
