Feedback & Reports

I was fly fishing and the river was quite full and there appeared to be a lot of silt downstream, maybe due to the fact that some maintenance work was being carried out on the bridge. Also some of the areas outlined in the map were inaccessible. I was staying at Vanilla Cottage near Chain Bridge which is an excellent base.

All fish on dry flies; Humpy and Kites Imperial from necks of pools. Most fish 10-14 inches. Lost and pricked many more. Lost a very big fish which just kept it's head down, felt like it could have been 2lb plus, perhaps it was a chub.

Lovely stream with easy access. A cool misty morning with nothing rising so I fished nymphs. I caught two wbt approx 8 inches long on ptn and lost two others. Donated a few flys to the trees but all in all a good few hours fishing!

Arrival at the river and saw fish rising in the streamy runs. Water clarity was excellent.
5 fish caught on nymphs the remainder on dries, mainly Klinks and Adams and shuttlecock CDC in small sizes.
An excellent days fishing overall.

So much for the over cast sky! River dropping quickly, started with a hint of colour, clear by the end of the day. It looked very promising early on, until the sun started!
3 trout to about 12inches, 1 shad about 2 1/2lbs which gave me a a bit of hope, if they can make it up the river then salmon must be able.

5 trout to 8" and bumped a few, GRHE nymph under a Parachute Adams, caught on both. Lovely day, the only thing that got me down slightly was 50% of likely looking runs were too overgrown to throw a line at. I suggest we all carry a small pocket coppicing saw and have a go ourselves and open up a bit more fishing for us all?

WUF note - We have a team of dedicated Wild Streams maintenance staff who are responsible for 'trimming' these beats. It may be at the request of the owner that some beats are more overgrown than others so please refrain from carrying out any beat maintenance without contacting the Foundation first.

3 hours fishing in the afternoon - no sign of insect life or fish. Used duo and down and across, but not a nibble.

Fished the river Towy at Llanwarda (open gravel banks, easy access) and the Pipe Pool (access good for one angler, not sure for two) and had a look at the Cothi at Pontargothi but decided access down to river too much like hard work. One small WBT at Llanwarda, to a nymph. Some interest in Flying Cs (again looked liked WBT) but no takers. Otter eventually stopped play. No sign of fish at Pipe Pool.
(NB- re. access; as of Weds 30th there was no access to this beat on the B4300 from Nantgaredig via Capel Dewi (i.e. as detailed in notes) as road closed. Instead, beat can be reached on B4300 from Carmarthen side.
