Feedback & Reports

River low and clear. Three hours fishing. Trout very easily spooked. No mayfly. 9 trout 8-9 inches, all caught on dry fly. Thanks to the person who has cut back some of the obstructing branches.

I enjoyed myself here so much last week that I came back for more. Seven fish 6"-11", all to a Parachute Adams from the pools and slower stretches. Missed and lost many more. Another thoroughly entertaining session on this beautiful and varied Arrow beat.

Fished this beautiful stream again it really is like a different world down in the gorge. Tried nymphs in the surprisingly deep pools and gutters 2 small trout fell to black magic nymphs. Exited via the footpath up from the old bridge which was easier than hiking all the way to the end of the beat.

Great stream, perfect dry fly water sunken down banks and overhanging trees make it feel very peaceful. Took a while to work out the hatch in the end all trout fell to a size 20 elk hair caddis, a few mayflys also about suspect there is a good hatch here. Best of the trout was about 12in although I disturbed what I estimate to be a 2lb fish in a pool at the top of the beat. One note is that just past the caravan site there is a section where trees overgrown the stream, preceded by a very deep hole that you need to pass as a tree has fallen on one side making it impossible to pass, got up to the limit of my chest waders before I chickened out. Had to exit here and climb a fence to get round and back in. Overall perfect wild stream and don't miss out the caravan sit section there were loads of fish rising in the pools and runs below it.

I fished from 11am to 4pm catching 7 trout. I got off to a pretty bad start tearing my waders on a barbed wire fence hidden by masses of Himalayan Balsam at the start of the beat. With full sun, dense undergrowth and the river very low it was a struggle for the first few hours with things picking up a bit when it became cloudier after 1pm. Not many flies about and only 4 rises seen all day. 3 trout about 6-10 inches caught on para adams/cdc dry flies and 4 trout 5-8 inches on beaded nymphs.

First time on the Llynfi Dulais, beautiful beat. Good mix of runs and deep pools. PTN and Hares ear caught, only the odd fish rising.

What a lovely streach of river! After Saturday's rain I was suprised how clear the water was with very little colour. A cool, upstream wind prevented the hoped for fly hatch after the rain but the were sparodic hatches throughout the day with fish raising all day. Most fell to either a Hawthorne sparkle fished on or just under the surface or Green Olive type pattern on top.
Enough activity to keep things interesting. Most fish were 1/4- 1/2lb.
