5 trout between 11 inches and 15 inches. 5 of about 5 inches. All but one taken on gold head nymph fished New Zealand style. Few fish rising. River would benefit from clearance of fallen trees towards upper end of beat to open up two pools which are currently unfishable. Lovely days fishing with kingfishers, dippers and otter prints!

River quite low.

All fish to pellet, weather sunny and warm. River low and clear. If someone wanted to target chub exclusively, lots and lots about.

Hard work, flummoxed as to how to fish this beat, however caught six Chub all above two pounds and two eels. The river was very low, and just like last time the extraction pump was going all day, its very noisy.
All were caught on luncheon meat. This is the second time I have fished this beat. Although I like it, the beat offers limited access, and the water extraction pump spoils the day.

6 Chub, 2 Other

No Fish seen or caught

Me and my Dad had a great day and caught the trout on a spinner and worm with a float.

River low and clear. Several nice looking swims fished but both rods blanked. Spectacular scenery and great banks for sleeping! Fished with pellet and little optimism.
Excellent service from W&U.

Out first visit to the Irfon. Water levels low with weather overcast but warm. Moderate fly life in evidence but little surface activity. The Llanfechan stretch is magnificent with as much variety of fishing pools and runs as you could hope for. Wading in chest waders was comfortable. Only one fish was caught but what a fish. A beautiful WBT of 3 to 3 1/2lbs. caught on a dragonfly nymph that looked uncannily like a small fry pattern! We will return in the Autumn to search out some grayling. A great day's fishing even with only one fish caught.

Worked really hard for the fish we caught, also lost a couple of barbel, river was low and clear and the canoe traffic was ridiculous.
With another foot of water and some colour to give the fish the confidence to feed properly this beat could be one of the best on the river.
Barbel ranging from 7lb - 7lb.6oz and some nice 3lb chub.
