Feedback & Reports

2 x trout 9 and 13 inches, Grouse and Claret and Cochybonddu. Another cold and windy evening.

A pleasant opening to the season. Great scenic venue. 3 Rods caught an equal mixture of Barbel and Chub throughout the stretch. Thanks to Colin for his feedback.

Fantastic little beat - a dozen chub up to 4lb. The barbel are there if you can get through the chub.

Barbel,chub,eels all caught on various baits and methods. The balsam has established itself well. A lovely time had by all. Special thanks to Martin.

Three sea trout caught on a small silver stoat, largest about 18 inches, (2lbs ish). All released. Great fun.

Nasty downstream wind. No fly No rises. 3wbt, all small. 2 dace,and 2 salmon parr. All on nymphs.

A bit of a strange day weather wise - got colder as the day went on and there were squally showers. All of this unsettled the fish.

Have to wade carefully at the moment as have gammy leg so some areas out of limits. 10 wbt to 12" not our most impressive total and unfortunately neither of the newbies with us managed to break their duck. The action tailed off as the day went on and not a grayling to be seen. Who tipped them off it was the first day of the season I wonder?

But a lovely beat as always!

1 x 33" (13lb approx) Cock Salmon. Caught on black & copper single barbless hook flying c. Just below the Rock Pool by the fallen tree. (Saw 4 more fish)

Total waste of a 200 mile trip. Not a sign of any living thing. Very disappointing.

Well I thought conditions should have been perfect - shows what I know. Fished early and late but only two trout and two shad caught. Of Salmon - no sign at all.
