One Kelt in Corner Tree on a sunk line and 2" copper Willie Gun. However, best looking Kelt I've ever caught! Proportions were perfect and firm, just a little ragged on top of tail fin, the weedy take and fight until some fireworks when in at the side in 2 mins had me thinking Kelt all the way in until it swam off! Lovely fish whatever and enjoyable day fishing the Maddox, Corner Tree and Vanstone inspite of gusty winds and some rain.
Don't use the river side track on left bank, leave the car before the fishing starts true left bank or drive up the field (middle not bank side) as mentioned in a previous report - my wife got the car stuck when collecting me, though we only took 2 hrs getting out unlike the chap above!
Many thanks as ever.

Good conditions but blank (1 pike on Flying C). No salmon seen or taken. Few canoes.

1 Pike

6 fish, lost about 3, used small mepps.

6 Trout

Water up a bit (just over 3 on their gauage which bears no relation to the WUF Fownhope guage, where it was around 2)but still relatively fishable and clear enough for fly.
The Ley itself and the water around the bend on the island is really nice fly water and again felt hopeful. But only managed 1 kelt of about 8lb and lost another fish that in all likelihood was also a kelt

Cold - drizzle rain, no fish caught.

Hard days fishing, cold wet and windy. Made worthwhile by two beautiful trout. One of a pound, and one of about a pound and half. Taken on grhe, both returned and in great condition.

2 Trout

20lb from The Boxes.

1 Salmon

Fished for 6 hours until rain stopped play. Water temp still low and a gusty upstream wind. One lovely OOS, 16 inch fin perfect Grayling on a black beaded nymph. Don't know where the trout are! No rises seen and just a few olives appearing for a short time. The largest Cormorant I've ever seen "canoeing" down the rapids in the middle of the beat !

1 Grayling

Its a lovely looking stream but no fish caught, raised or seen. I was disappointed that my second day's fishing resulted in another blank. I fished small nymphs since no fly life seen.
Your beat description starts you fishing at the Dol Llyn Wydd farm bridge and yet your directions take you to the half way point (the turning to Erwood). Perhaps it would be better to for directions to take you on to the next turning and down past Dol Llyn Wydd farm (there is space for one car just before the bridge on the right).
