Feedback & Reports

Dry Fly. Two small trout (6") returned. River conditions good. Access good.
One point. Foolishly left my fly box o the gatepost between the first and second field on the beat. If someone has picked it up, I would be grateful.

It has been over 20 years since I fished at Talybont but it is still a beautiful place. The wind still comes down the valley at speed. I fished at the top end and had 3 fish and lost a few more. I had 2 on a Bibio and 1 on a Mallard and Claret. Didn't see many rises but had a great day after not fishing there for so long.

Hard days fishing in blustery conditions with no fish seen or caught. My 9 year old son was gutted.

Cold, strong downstream wind. Considerable fly life, but not too much surface activity from fish. 6 small WBT on dries and nymphs. Very nice beat. My friend have seen a 3rd person fishing on our bank- we were not aware that anybody else booked the beat for that day.
WUF Note: The owner of this beat reserves the right to fish an extra rod every day of the week. This is stated on the beat's webpage description.

The river was perfect! 8 on the gauge, a little colour. Overcast, pressure rising. I arrived at about one and fished until 6. It's beautiful to be out on the river. A few olives hatching here and there. All the signs that we are well into spring. Orange tip butterflies, bluebells and wild garlic. Sadly no fish for me. Perhaps just too busy enjoying nature!

A lovely, breezy, part sunny day. A few fish rising. Lots of black gnats during afternoon. Had a take on a pheasant tail early on then switched to a small black gnat. One further take then caught and returned a six inch brown trout.
Another wonderful wild stream! Quite tricky fishing and wading not easy. Almost fell in!

Excellent days fishing with guide Oliver burch. Brown trout to 1lb caught on a variety of methods. Steady hatches during the day to 5.30 pm.

All taken on olive patterns, river running clear, fish mainly rising between 10.am till 2.00pm, then after that went dead.

Day 3 of 4 day trip and it was cold and blowing a gale over the Whittern beat. I tempted two nice 12" WBT up to my dry but otherwise a difficult and disheartening fish. Spent most time avoiding a hook in the face and untangling wind knots.

Day 3 of 4 day trip. After a difficult time on Whittern I moved up the Arrow a mile or so to Titley for the second half of the day. Wind settled and fish started rising (a little) about 6pm but I'm afraid I ran out of steam after what had been a difficult day.
