Feedback & Reports

Coldish day with a nagging NE breeze and showers didn't do much to encourage the hatches. However there was some sun and this seemed to stimulate insect activity periodically. Various upwinged species were on the move, including LDOs and small mayfly. Water was clear and cold.

Fished as well as I could have expected given the conditions. Netted 3 browns including a superb 2lb specimen. 2 fish took a tungsten PTN, the other a parachute Adams. All fish in prime condition and safely returned

A whole days salmon fishing! Or at least enough to feel sated. A rare thing in the days of small rug rats. Really enjoyed fishing the Home Catch by boat. Expectancy increased with each of the 3 fish that showed while I was going down it. Almost drowned in Dolmeudwy (v difficult wade at 2ft 3") and enjoyed the newly opened up Croy.
Sadly not a tug from a salmon and only a few trout to report.

River in great condition but not much moving, one rod caught a couple of salmon parr and a grayling about 1lb but the other two blanked.

Fantastic, started on gh p/tail nymphs in morning no surface activity, 6 x grayling to 14ins, good start! Changed to dry in the afternoon, not to nuch activity but Suprisingly the trout did look up for my klink ph/tails all afternoon,1 x 14ins, 6 x 10ins, 3-5 6ins & less & more small grayling. Spoke to an otter twice before deciding he had chased what was left of the fish I had not caught down to Mortimers cross.

In all, one of the most enjoyable days fishing I have had in a very long time, thank you.

All fish blessed & returned

First day out this year. Weather was alternatively warm and cold so fish and fly life were both totally confused. Sporadic hatch of large and medium olives. 24 fish between us - 23 trout to 13" and one out of season hen grayling of 14". All on dries - our usual para ginger quills. A great start to the season but the river desperately needs some rain.

No fish caught or taken. Some smaller trout were noticed rising during the day.

Both of us caught two small brown trout, which were returned. Thank you for making the booking for an enjoyable day.

A very nice day on this little river! First time fishing anywhere like this and first time wading so I'm happy that I still managed to catch two tiddly browns - 6inches each - the 2nd one zipped off at an amazing pace for such a little guy!

There were lots of big black hawthorns around where I parked up, but not so many at the water. Access was a little tricky in some areas, but there was still plenty fishable. Water was quite murky due to rain at the weekend. I blanked on trying nymphs (probably bad technique!) but when I did find fish rising little dries worked well - strangely very little of an evening rise despite quite a lot of insect life. There were insects that maybe were mayflies - they certainly acted like them.

Oh and I found two poachers near the top of the beat! Reported them to WUF once I was back in phone signal.

Bright & cold with NE wind. A few flies hatching and very sporadic rises later in pm when had 2 x 9" trout on Adams Klinkhammer & missed several more. Nymphing in am not productive. Lots of small spinners in evening, but nothing rising to them.

Blank day; river clearing after heavy rainfall 36 hours before. Cold northerly wind though fine and sunny day. Good fly hatch and very occasional small fish rising. No immitation fly came close to working! Lovely stretch of river.
