Went to fish the bay but beaten back by millions of midges. Fished just down from ticket machine. Good day, 8 good trout to 1.5lbs, all on bubble with worm. Tried spinning but nothing. Also had plenty of Perch.

8 Trout

River running quite high and coloured after a few days rain so unsurprisingly very little action. No fish taken but beautiful day and beautiful location.

Water higher than usual. A little muddy. 2 brown trout on dry fly but little activity.

Plenty of fish under the trees and on the glides with larger fish in the fast waters. The pools not as productive as they usually are.

The river was in a very fishable condition, if a little high and colored. We were very disappointed at the lack of rises and evidence of trout and equally disappointed at the very poor fly life throughout the day, particularly at this time of year. Needless to say we didn't have a fish all day. We learned from a very willing adviser that the estate no longer has a river keeper. Although this was our first visit we felt that this showed and that, for the price, the water is not particularly well managed. I doubt we will return.

Water coloured from the night before as we had a bit of a rise. Fished for about 6 hours and even through a thunderstorm to catch a salmon but unfortunately not even a follow or a take? Saw 2 fish, one from the Bridge Pool and one in Ty Mawr Pool. Also, whoever cut the grass in Rock Pool many thanks as this can be a nightmare to fish especially like today when wading - it was so coloured you couldn't see your feet.

The previous time I fished this river a couple of years ago the water coloured up so this was a return match. Fished klink and dink with a hares ear on the point. 4 WBT, best at 10 and 12 inches plus 5 Grayling, mainly small but one at 14 inches, which was certainly well recovered from spawning. A thunderstorm stopped play for an hour - I don't like wagging a lightning conductor around during storms.
On another note I dragged up someone's lost leader with a dog nobbler on the end plus a nymph all tied up on about 10lb line. Didn't know salmon ran up the Llynfi!

4 Trout, 5 Grayling

River fast, no rises.

Called in on the way home but late afternoon thunderstorm had quickly coloured up the river and made top end very dirty. Down at The Grange the flood had not quite arrived but the gentle rise saw at least 5 good sized fish on the move. 2 shad to 2.5 lbs obliged to the fly - does anyone have a salmon fly pattern they don't like? Good luck to you all when it clears.
