Feedback & Reports

Despite bad weather we caught around 50 fish for 3 rods! Most grayling between 25cm and 35cm, biggest around 40cm. Majority caught with French nymph and CDC dry flies. Thanks WUF!

River looked perfect. We tried just about every bait in our bags and only managed to catch 1 barbel of about 7lb. Very disappointing that the chub did not want to feed either.

Nil caught....

River conditions looked great but only 2 decent chub taken 1 to 3 1/2 lbs.

River a little too high but we managed 7 grayling to 16", and one out of season brown. Some on a pink bug but most on dry grayling steel blue. All fish returned.

Apart from parr and small out of season trout, 23 x grayling 10-17 inches and 1 x large chub around 4 pounds, long trotting with double and single maggot. Rather a gloomy, grey day and this beat was worked hard the day before, but grayling were still quite keen. The Irfon had settled down to a really nice fishing height, even a bit low and clear for trotting, and a few fish showing at the surface after lunch made me think of the fly rod. There are some truly lovely grayling in the Irfon this year with a high average size, four or five from this bag made 17 inches and the majority were over 15 inches. Super day.

Beautiful river, but access was very challenging. Could only get in at 7 different areas, the rest was completely overgrown. My advice would be to leave your best clothing in the car due to the brambles etc.

One fish lost in the large deep pool up upstream of the house. 0 caught.

Worth a trip due to fantastic scenery, but take a chainsaw along if you've got one!!!!!

No fish this time. Conditions grey and overcast water temperature cold at only 6C could not get a bite in five hours fishing weed still a problem though.

Hard day, very snaggy.
1 barbel of about 3lb 8oz, fished the wood stretch and probably should have fished the deeper meadow section...but in my defence the water was still at 10 degrees so the shallower section should have fished well, still...never mind, I will be back.

20 plus grayling up to half a pound - 4 out of season very small brown trout, all on dries. Very dark and dank day with low clear water.
Pollution (milk?) reported to owner coming down a side stream half way through the day. A pure white solution anyway. Good service from the owner.
