Feedback & Reports

Over weekend of the 21st Sept total catch 6 grayling average weight approx one and half pound per fish. Accommodation was the Cammarch Hotel and fish all caught on the river Irfon controlled by the hotel all fish returned.
All fish taken on Olive Klinkhammer. The river level seem to be much lower this year and the general consensus of our party was that it had had a significant effect on the overall catches, compared to last year. Well looked after at the Cammarch hotel as usual

Fished Ty-Newydd on way back from fishing tour of South and Mid Wales. Spent the evening before tying 6 para ginger quills in B&B in Aberystwyth as fly box was bereft. Looked a lovely day when we got there - soft overcast but reasonably warm. Patchy hatches throught the day - medium olives and pale wateries - encouraged the fish. Those six flies did their stuff! Shared between the rods 36 fish were enticed and returned - 15 wbt to 15" and 19 grayling - a lot were peas from pod of 8-9" but fish of 14", 2 x 17" and 1 x 19" were the prize catches - but not the biggest fish hooked! A ginger quill was trundling slowly over deep flats when a huge head emerged and gently engulfed it. 3 or 4 kicks with the rod bent double at long distance and the tippet parted - estimates suggest a wbt of at least 3lb! If anyone catches this monster can I have the fly back pleae?

Great sport in the morning, fishing nymph and Klinkhammer duo on the bottom half of the beat. 5 brown trout up to 11' and missed several others. The breeze strengthened and things went quiet at lunch time.

Our last day on this trip and we would like to thank the girls in the office for suggesting this beat. We fished it from 9am until 2pm so we didn't manage to fish the whole beat as well as we would have liked to, but the fishing was fantastic. We caught numerous trout and grayling,again nothing massive ,but lots of fun, especially the grayling. Biggest grayling was about 3/4 lb and best trout about 1lb. I would like to add that we stayed in a B&B in Glasbury (Aberllynfi House). It overlooked the Wye and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast sets you up for the day!!! Strongly recommended.
Many thanks again to The W and U girls!!

SB hooked a salmon in Pylons but came off, also caught a 4lbs. chub. AS nil but stil enjoyed the fishing. Ah well, a salmon of 15lbs at Wyesham on Monday after 20 minutes fishing can't be bad! Perhaps I had my allocation for the week. Improved access on the lower beats much appreciated.
When fishing the lower Vanstone was challedged by a coarse fisheman as to whether I had a permit to fish.
I told him in no uncertain terms that our beat ended at the white marker. He later returned to apologise. Perhaps you could erect a Salmon Fishing only sign on the white marker as he was confused with last years Middle Hill Court Beat. We will be back to catch up with Pashley!

Warm windy day. Arrived a bit later than I wanted but had a barbel very quickly of 5lbs, taken on luncheon meat not far out in the crease about halfway down the beat. Nothing else even when I moved further downstream. Several fish jumping out of the water, anyhow saw a kingfisher several times. Lovely place and enjoyed my three days fishing on various beats of the Wye and Lugg. Top marks WUF the system worked perfectly for me and I will be back.

10lb slightlly coloured cock fish on fly an hour before dusk last night in the top of the Wall Pool. Thats 4 for the season!

Arrived at 8-30am and found hill to venue steep but not to far luckily. Had a walk of the stretch, most of first field fishable although not exactly armchair pegs. After bridge over stream at end of first field nowhere really to fish until croy right at end which was a shame. My stepson tried here but under low river conditions and sun had no joy.I had 3 chub up to 4lbs 4oz up to 4pm. After starting fishing just after 10am in first field, added 4 barbel from then to 7pm when we called it a day. My stepson had 2 late barbel to save his day, all fish on feeder on either pellet or paste between 4lbs 8oz and 7lbs 12oz all in mint condition and fought well.

We we were the only 2 rods booked on this day, rather disappointed that 2 other anglers were there already in the best swims. They said they had booked through the farmer, though this was found to be untrue as the farmer had no knowledge of this. They paid whatever and were allowed to carry on. According to a farm worker anglers often turn up without booking.
Anyway they went in the afternoon we moved into the pegs and had 4 barbel upto 7lb and 3 chub to just under 4lb in around 3 hours fishing. The first part of the day we fished at the very top end of the beat but with no catch.

Booked over my mobile £15+£3?? Anyway got to the river 12-45pm, slightly above Summer levels. Chose last swim on the LH bank, not a good move! Evil snag just in front of the over hanging willow at the tail of the eddy. Lost 4 complete rigs and 3 fish (this really needs sorting please W.U.F). 15LBS braid coming back looking like it had been cut with a knife! Hopefully fish will ditch barblees hooks and swivel, my in line feeder rig means the feeder detaches as soon as main line breaks? Keep this in mind if you fish this swim please. Time to move, well I still had a few rigs left. Crossed bridge and fished in front of trees 80m from bridge down stream. 2 x 10mm elips hair riged on in-line feeder saw me take 4 Barbel to 6 lbs in first 1 1/2 hours. Bite's dried up from 4-30pm would be very easy to associate with 3 cormorants turning up and very clear water conditions? Left at 6-30pm. did notice a MINK on the far bank around 6pm!
