Feedback & Reports

River very low and clear, 8 inches on Erwood gauge - I fished the neck of Rectory and the Rock pool, acting on the advice of your pool notes for dead low water conditions, and there was enough movement to bring the fly round nicely. However, no fish seen or caught. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to be out on this spectacular river. Many thanks.

Water very quiet, very low. 9" on the Llanstephan gauge, but were able to fish a fly through: Upper Glangwye, The Rectory Pot, Rectory Neck, Island run & the top of rock just in case. No signs of a fish, although I know they were there somewhere - next time!

A lovely day on this beat again if a bit cold, unfortunately no fish this time perhaps a bit early and the water needs to warm up. Will try again later in the season.

Only fished an hour or so but no sign of fish today.

Well the love affair continues . . . . . Bugeilyn greeted me with a sunny glimmer and a brisk Northerly breeze at midday . She's top of my wild stillwaters , closely followed by Llyn Adar , Gwgia, and Llyn Teifi and today was a great sporting day . I started off on the western banks half way down , fishing a variety of small home tied traditional wets , having three good takes from this area , and quickly releasing three beautifully marked brownies , between eight and ten inches . I moved up to the lone pine tree changing tactics , the team of two being my own flashback GRHE , and butcher on the dropper, again hitting into several lovely fish , quickly admired and returned . For fun I'd brought along my seven foot , three weight spilt cane rod , made for me by a fabulous chap from up Oswestry , Sid Diggory .It was great to rig up a couple of tiny nymphs and catch a couple of hard fighting wild brownies with it , superb , the split cane rod seems to come alive , awesome !!!!!. I completed the day by fishing in the boathouse bay , tying on a single small sedge pattern on a long tapered leader , and had two lovely takes , and two missed ones as well !!!!!!! Wild Wales fishing at its best , and with eleven black finned beauties caught and returned , it almost seemed a shame to pack up at half six , ahhhhh well hopefully head down to this jewel in May , which spookily enough is next week ha ha !!!
