Feedback & Reports

Spent most of the day at middle section near the hut.
Tried for Salmon until early aftenoon - none seen, no bites, nothing taken.
Trout slightly more promising in the afternoon: three brown trout, two grayling hooked; nothing big enough for the pot so all returned.

In 3 hours (from 11.30am) and over 30 yards AB caught 18 fish including 4 Brown Trout over 1lb with one just tipping 2lb. Fabulous fishing, and caught mostly on Copper Head Nymph size 14 courtesy of the excellent flies from http://www.yorkshire-dales-flyfishing.com/ Stuart there sells great dries too some on black Gamakatsu hooks. 3 grayling caught and the rest were Parr. Terrific sport to be had by dropping the flies close to the huge wed beds that have appeared this "summer". Oh and the wife (MB) had 4 or 5 fish too, which is unusual as she nearly always beats me. Every dog has his day!
The previous day we caught 11 between us (7 on F Flies and Klinkhammers) so I guess it pays to try different tactics. Last time we fished New Zealand style paid dividends. All fish returned in good shape.

x1 3lbs Grayling, a 6-8oz Grayling and x1 1.5lbs brown Trout. Caught using beaded gold head nymphs.

A cracking day. 7 or 8 trout to 10", 10 or so grayling to 17" and loads of parr. Fished mainly dry or duo and all but one trout came to the dry - most successful pattern being a large LT Klink.

Lower, clearer water & sunshine made fishing trickier than the previous week. 2 small trout to emerger pattern in the evening. Rose larger fish twice but failed to connect.

No fish caught, and no sign of any fish of a catchable size in the river.
Five vouchers! I will not be returning to this beat.

1'8"(steady after 4" rise overnight) Nil caught, two seen, one about 4/5lb slightly coloured, by the 'mess of rocks' at top of rock pool. Water clear with blazing sunshine all day. First time on beat, took awhile to follow instructions given to find all the parking (grass verges and some wasteland behind some garages) and pools ( bit of an expedition to find lower pools Run and Upper Glangwye). Beat truly offers a bit of everything.

Rainbow trout x 7 (taken)
Brown trout x 1 (returned)
All were caught using worms.

10lb salmon at 7.30am from the Cafn.

A 9lb salmon caught in Never Say Die at 6pm. An amazing fight in fast water.
