Feedback & Reports

Fished Amman lowest section for 2 hours - water fast and coloured - access and wading difficult - barbless dry fly only - a few very small brown trout all returned safely.
Cothi- lowest part of Crugybar, Ffroodvale and Gwargorof beat for 3 hours - water clear and low - barbless dry fly only - a very few small brown trout all returned safely.
This stretch unfortunately straightened by an ill-conceived intervention creating one long shallow riffle with very little holding water. the bypassed stretch of river full of fish now trapped in stagnating pools. Very, very surprised that NRW would still allow/condone such an intervention, which has destroyed habitat and will increase flood risk downstream. Perhaps this was carried out without permission?
Cothi, Cwrt y Cadno - lowest section of beat for 3 hours. Barbless dry fly only. Lovely stream in very good health and benefiting from benign neglect. Clear water and reasonable flow, barbless dry fly only - 20 plus small brown trout all returned safely. There are some much bigger fish here with lies in very good cover.

Fished for a couple of hours in the evening. Plenty of fish jumping but none seemed to be feeding on the surface. The 3 I did catch went for a ptn fished deep. 1 was 6" the other two were about 14".

Cold windy day, lots of recent rain but the Irfon does drop and fine down quickly and it did exactly what it said on the tin.
Small mixed hatch, trickling off throughout the day. Dry fly for a couple of hours and rewarded with 2 wbt and 1 grayling. All around 10". Went very quiet so decided to kink and dink and took two more feisty grayling on the klink!
Have become a bit of a small stream man over the last few years but today Cefnllysgwynne reminded me how exhilarating it is to hook and play a decent fish in a wide, deep, pristine river amongst stunningly beautiful landscape.
A spectacular beat. So much variety and so much to learn. Definitely a work in progress for me, I'll be back.

Started up in the wooded section, I had 6 barbel and 1 chub in morning on feeder and pellet but Steve did not have a bite so we moved down to the meadow in the afternoon where then steve had 5 barbel (including a personal best of 10lb 8oz), 2 chub and an eel. I finished the day with 9 barbel and 4 chub, all fish were good size.

14 Barbel, 6 Chub, 1 Other

A little bit of extra water in the morning, which was gone by the evening. All fish taken on small north country spiders. Best trout 10". Very enjoyable day but a little more water would help.

River running high and cloudy.

First time on this beat so took a while searching the different stretches. Beautifu river in good condition and delightful woodside path. Had 2 from flats on black nymph. Few yellow and brown small uprights hatching but only small fish sporadically interested and couldnt get fish to rise to a variety of dries. Returned to nymph working down flats and had several more- beautiful well conditioned fighting fish. Superb beat with excellent fishing. Thank you
