Feedback & Reports

Only one rod fished, or rather walked to the riverbank for the last hour of daylight then got caught in a continual downpour until the light failed. No fly cast or fish caught !

The fish came on the feed in heavy rain

First time on beat and lots to discover. Stayed on upper and middle section. Perhaps should have explored. Fish on both nymphs and dries. I'll be better prepared next time...

Only fished Llyn yr-oerfa for an hour or less before thunder and rain stopped play. Adjourned for coffee and thence to Cym Rheidol Reservoir where I managed one brown trout of about 12ozs. on a foam daddy.

Did not fish.

Early morning session and managed the trek up over the hill to the lucky stone swim the usual instantaneous chub bites followed and managed to get 2 barbel in between, groundbait and pellet feeder with meat on the hook the method used.

Lovely half day fishing this very picturesque beat. There were fast flowing swims, as well as deeper slower swims. I found the fish in the fast water, and luncheon meat bounced down the swim was the method. Not a touch on any other method - they wanted a moving feast. Caught two beautiful Barbel, one just over 7lb, and the second was 8lb +. Also lost two other barbel. To round the session off caught a PB chub, 5lb 2oz. Will return…????

Fished from 6.30 to 14.00. 2 good barbel - one just on 8 lbs and one around 5 lbs. Also lost 2 good fish. I started fishing in the 2nd swim of the upper section - there is a nasty submerged branch just downstream extending quite a way out - just passing this on for information. I didn't find any chub although you could see plenty in the shallow fast water on the lower section
