Feedback & Reports

No Grayling caught on a bitterly cold and wet 3 hour afternoon session, but 3 x WBT and 1 salmon parr caught on trotted maggot. River was clear, but rising slightly.
Didn't really have time to search out the Grayling and a longer session would have done more justice to the beat.

No catch.

Two sea trout [1lb and 2lb], one grayling 5oz, one chub 2lb. All fish caught on red maggot. The river was carrying extra snow melt water and going thru. Water temp was 4 degrees all day killing any hope of barbel. Really helpful advice from the owner and locals. Can't wait to get back in better conditions.

9 Chub & 1 WBT on maggot, bread and meat.

Our first visit to this stretch saw a bright, calm day with the birdsong broken only by the afternoon pheasant-shoot on the opposite bank. Comfortable conditions for fishermen but evidently not conducive to fish feeding, as the week’s wintry downpours had ensured the river was running high, coloured and very cold.
We had anticipated a challenging day and so it turned out.
An initial exploration of options resulted in one of us settling-in mid-beat and two in the lower section.
Despite the usual array of pellets, luncheon meat and cheese-paste, the fish proved elusive throughout the day, with only one, albeit beautifully conditioned Chub of 2lb 7oz, to show for all our efforts (taken on pellet in lower section by CH).
So R.E.’s quest for a first-ever Barbel continues!
Nevertheless, an enjoyable day in wonderful surroundings (possibly not so enjoyable for the pheasants!).
Thanks to Alison and in particular Adam for the very helpful conversation prior to booking.
Having endured a series of problems in recent months with prominent organisations such as Apple, Travelodge and Royal Caribbean, the ordering experience once again pleasantly reminded me that the customer-service offered by the WUF is truly first-class.

One pike - 18lb 4oz, legered deadbait. Lost one pike est. 15lb. Great place to fish, I'll be back.

A better day at Cefnllysgwynne. Levels were good, and grayling showed around the warmer hours of the day from a number of locations. Between the three anglers, four grayling and one trout were landed, with another four missed.

NICE BEAT,FARM HAND VERY HELPFULL, EASY ACCESS, NO PIKE CAUGHT.

Nothing caught.

First time fishing the Arrow so wasn't sure what to expect. Sunny morning then bitterly cold rain and wind in the afternoon. The river had obviously been well up fairly recently but was fining-down as I fished. Plenty of fish, but not the monsters I've seen reported here. 4 grayling, biggest less than a pound and the other three much smaller. 8 small brown trout and a rainbow trout of about a pound. Plus, quite a few similar fish that never made it to the net. A very enjoyable day.
