Feedback & Reports

Glan-yr-Afon is the most beautiful stretch of river in the British Isles and one day I will catch a salmon there, but today I had to be content with the largest brown trout I have ever caught - at 20" long - which put up a pretty good impersonation of it's senior cousin for 15 minutes. I put it back, just in case some of its offspring choose to head downstream to the sea. Water conditions perfect at 10" on the Brecon gauge and I was fishing the top pool.

River was at good height, very slight peaty tinge, saw a couple of coloured fish show, nothing caught.

No fish caught.

On the river at 5.30. Condition good, river like tea at just over 1' at Llanstephan. No Salmon caught or seen. 6 Trout and one fine Sea Trout of 3lb that almost tricked me into thinking I had a Grisle on, it gave such a good fight. Great service from Wye & Usk as always.

In complete contrast to my last visit when I had 24 barbel, both my friend and I didn't get a single bite all day. Very frustrating indeed!

Found the river low, all fish taken from 4pm until dusk in deeper water. 6 barbel and 1 chub.

Lovely days fishing in fantastic enviroment, all fish caught on pellet with open ended feeder. Pleasure every time you go there to see the gillie Colin Richardson, he is so helpfull to share his knowledge with you. Thanks Wye and Usk Foundation for splendid day.
