River in flood 26th, dropped 3/4 feet by 10am on 28th. Decided to try middle section, water very dirty, lots of debris and leaves and still very fast. Tried to find slacker water without sucess, abandoned fishing after 2 hrs.
Pity, but heavy rain at this time of the year is bound to be a risk. Will try again on another beat next year.
Service from the Foundation great, will pass on your web site and scheme to others.

River very high but weather was kind. A great afternoon, 4 barbel to 9lb and as always, a bigger one that got away!! All barbel caught with hair rigged pellet. Will be back (again) very soon...

12th Oct 2008, beat B28, Gofynne (Irfon) ? only 3 grayling (but of good size between 30 and 42 cm) and one very large salmon parr (18 cm). This fishery is in a magnificent setting and I had a very enjoyable day. My first visit to the Irvon; I will catch more next time!

Wonderful fishing, I?ll be back.

Just a note to say that the Glaslyn guests have been very successful over the last week with 11 Salmon caught and released.

Two 2lb Grayling were caught on Salmon flies. One guest reported catching a 2lb Sea Trout. All fish released.

Not a bad day at Cefnllysgwynne last Saturday. The morning was rather dour, but they started to rise after lunch. One out of season trout and eight grayling, including some very nice fish in the 40 centimetre class - on traditional grayling dries for a bit of fun and to give the Klinkhammers a rest. Grayling Witch, Sturdy's Fancy, John Storey, Treacle Parkin and Grayling Steel Blue all in size 16. Which probably goes to show that when they are definitely rising, they will take most anything if it's not too big.

No better place to be in the autumn than on the Irfon.

Just like to say superb presentation by all parties, especially John Lawson, who definitely spelt it out clearly so that I fully understood it. Having said that, the magnitude of it all seems far beyond imagination. But as we have said just crazy enough for this government to get it through! So lets all keep vigilant and will assist where we can.

Lyepole is as good as it gets - beautiful surroundings and full of fish, a W&UF gem. Thanks for a great day out.

WUF note: Catch....29 grayling to 16" and 10 out of season trout to 10"
