Feedback & Reports

Nice weather, if a little cool - it's not many days since the water was too warm to fish. Two trout (about ½lb and ¾lb) caught on downstream nymph, and returned. A bigger one hooked for a few seconds. A typical grand finale for the last day's fishing of the season (for me). Or maybe just an ordinary finale. My back aches, my foot is wet and it's a 1½hour drive home - but I know in a few days time I'll want to do it all again. Is it the river, the fish, or the second breakfast at Three Cocks on the way over? Probably all three. Roll on next season!

Fished the top field, river was dropping back quickly and Barbel were on the munch.
fish caught on boilies and meat with Soaked pellets in feeder.

Caught 2x brown trout, one on dry fly up the top end and one on a sinking line lure at the dam end. Not a touch from any Rainbows and only saw one trout move all day long.

Fished PM only. Caught 3 brown trout on far side of lake on wet flies. Fish were between 1 -1.5lb.

River dropping after heavy rain earlier in the week, around 0.3 - 0.32 m on Llanddewi gauge. Bit of colour in the water, would guess around 18"-24" visibility. Fished from about 10 am to 5 pm, and covered the bottom half of the beat. Quite a mixed bag weather-wise, from bright sunshine to heavy showers.

2 anglers, fished with nymphs including euro rig and NZ style indicator. 7 brown trout between us and 3 hooked but not landed, all around 9" - 12". Fish hooked on typical patterns; perdigons, soft hackled beaded nymphs, beaded hares ears... mostly 3mm tungsten beads.

The first time we have fished this beat and thoroughly enjoyed it. Word of warning that we lost a fair few flies with snags in the water that we couldn't see in these conditions.

River still quite high from the previous two days but fallen to a fishable level although the flow remained fast.
The wood and lucky stone section inaccessible due to wet and slippery conditions.
Fished the bottom end of the first field. Plenty of chub to be had on the feeder. All on meat & pellet.
