4 good trout to 14" caught. Lovely stretch of river but wading tricky.

Water quite coloured, couldn't see feet when wading. One convincing pull on the dangle in Maddox, a 2lb trout from mid Vanstone and a 14 inch Shad from Vanstone, almost immediately afterwards! All on copper black and yellow monkey, super-fast sink tip. No salmon sighted otherwise but a lovely bit of fly water nonetheless.

Hard days fishing, the weather turned against us. A beautiful beat indeed.

A cold and partly rainy day, no rises seen at all and no interest in any nymphs offered! Blank day sadly. Enjoyed the usual warm welcome at the Seven Stars.

Fished a variety of nymphs to no effect, but had a great day out despite the rain showers.

Meathod used was "Wet salmon fly", no fish actually caught.
This was my first time salmon fishing and to me the river was ideal for fish to rest or run.
Glan-y-Cafn to my mind is superb and has fired me up for more visits here, plenty of brown trout in evidence should one want to switch.

Looks great. Typical Lugg with cloudy grey clear water and deep holes. We tried everything no real success. Costly for the beat in comparison to whats around. £15 would be nearer the mark but would try again, its in a special place. Saw Pied Flycatcher.
