Feedback & Reports

Water still pretty high at just under 2 ft on the LLanstephan gauge, but running fairly clear and not too many leaves. Client CE from Cardiff took 22 grayling by various methods: dry fly, wet fly and trotting. Best fish 15, 16 and 17 inches. I think one out of season trout.

22 Grayling

First time on the Ifron for us. Beautiful autumn scenery and a thin Welsh drizzle to keep us company during the day. Caught a lovely 1.3lb grayling on my fourth or fifth cast of the day along a riffle in the mud pool, it fell to a red tag. The beat has an array of features and during the day managed to hook three more graying of various sizes and a tiny OOS brownie. Two took a size 16 GH green nymph and the others took an olive klinkhammer from the surface. I lost three and managed to break my 5 weight rod tip while landing a half pound grayling at the far end of the beat. Its a long walk back to the van in waders to get a spare rod. Top stretch of water, worthy of another try.

First time on beat. 3 hours between 12 and 3pm. Grey and damp autumn afternoon. Lovely stream although access to the water was tricky on some stretches for someone exploring it for the first time. one 9 inch grayling caught on ptn fished under a dry.

Good day on this stretch again. Water a little low and clear but managed to catch through the day.

A tough day with one barbel lost and one of 9lb landed from the meadow.

No fish caught, tough day

Two trout caught on worm. The fishing was slow

Not a bite all day. Tried pellets & sweet corn.
Weather was good.
To be honest disappointed & at £15 per day need to allow 2 rods per angler.

Cold start, tough day

Lovely day on this beat, fishing started well first thing in the morning with the river running though at a reasonable pace so 2oz leads were required to hold the bottom. Once the sun came up the fishing became much more difficult but not complaining as it was nice and warm for a change! As is usually reported the times to fish were the first couple of hours in the morning and the last couple in the evening. Barbel to 8lb and chub to 3lb, all fighting fit and fin perfect, they really do test your tackle to the max. Definitely recommend this beat as fishing is good and the river and surrounding area is stunning
