Feedback & Reports

Having failed to catch a salmon at Gromain on Friday, Karen and I had a second attempt on the beat above on Saturday. With pleasant weather and the water at about 12" on Llanstephan gauge we were both optimistic. I managed a coloured hen of perhaps a little over 10lbs from the lower end of the top planks, deftly unhooked and released in the water by Karen without any handling. Despite fishing 'til dusk it was the only salmon for the day. Karen did manage a nice grayling of about 1.5lbs on a CDC emerger during a break from swinging the double-hander. Another highly enjoyable day on a picturesque beat.

1 Salmon, 1 Grayling

A very pleasant day fished in hope after seeing quite a few fish in the area - some well coloured but others newer. No fishy action but a good natter with Don and a day spent with mates on the bank made it totally worthwhile.

No barbel on the bank! Blankety blank.

X1 barbel and x3 chub caught here. Disappointed about access to river bank - above orchard only one possible swim. Woods dangerous to access and no fishing available here!

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

A mixed day, river low and perfect fishing weather after a cool night. Wonderful surroundings, kingfishers and leaping salmon - it's not all about catching!
Fish came to a variety of baits and tactics maggot on the stickfloat for many minnows, the brownie and the chub (2lb and 4lb). Barbel all came on ledgered/ swimfeeder bait, much better sport later in the day.
A cordial visit from Don helped no end. Thank you, we'll be back.

1 Trout, 4 Barbel, 2 Chub, 20 Other
