A 30" 10.5lb colouring cock salmon.

1 Salmon

Another great day on the Middle Hill Court beat. I fished the top swims just below the Vanstone pool and although it was a hot day the fishing was steady. Fished pellet and feeder tactics to mid-river and later in the day moved downstream a swim and changed to a centrepin and fished close in. All the fish were hard fighting and around the average 5-7lb mark. 7 Barbel in total and one eel. Left with the fish still feeding.
Till next time.........

7 Barbel, 1 Other

Lovely day and conditions were good - river at reasonable level and running clear. Trout rising in places but not particularly easy to catch on dry fly. Managed to get 5 WBT on black and silver nymph and olive CDC. All fish returned.

5 Trout

A very hot day and the river had a touch of colour to it and on the high side. No fish caught. Fish seen moving through the beat.

Good river conditions. Saw lots of fish but did not catch any.

Not sure why but Ty Newydd, on my visits, never shows much surface activity. Today was no different despite a big rise of olives about 4pm. Fish were feeding however and so a team of three wets, with a weighted one on the point, interested them well enough. Most fish came to an olive spider with a hint of rusty orange at the thorax. As to size; best trout was 10"' best grayling a little over. Lost one pretty large grayling when he threw the hook close to the net. Temperature was about 20degC and the Llanstephan gauge showed 18".

a beautiful river and perfect day for fishing. I caught the first barbel in my life.

Fairly difficult fishing today, though there was some fly life about and the river had been freshened up by the rain. I saw several varieties of sedges, and large upwings hatching that I couldn't identify and a large hatch of iron blue duns in the evening. I was slightly disappointed not to be able to fish the bridge pool; there was a film crew and swimmers using it all day, right up to dusk.
I did managed to catch one thick set, 16", knock out trout. I didn't weight it but I'd guess it to be well over 2lb, which absolutely made up for the swimmers...and canoeists from the wedding at the big house. I also managed to catch a chub of about the same size; both fish were caught on a para tups indispensable.
