Feedback & Reports

My first trip to Pond Rhosrydd and what a great day's fishing it was. There was a good breeze blowing and it was overcast with a little rain in the morning and 90 minutes rain in the afternoon. I fished an intermediate line with a damsel and later I tried a GHD, (barbless - which means a number of clever fish shook themselves free). The fish were about 3 to 4 rod lengths out and about 10 foot down. Beautiful Brownies, some were wild and others were stockies (maybe previous years), all my fish were just under or just over 2lb. The fish came on strong in the rain in the afternoon, even rising during the rain, but I could not seem to work out the correct dry fly. Will have to come back to get my dry fly fishing game on here. Thank you AAA. I will be back.

Lovely beat, only one trout of about 3/4lb on a nymph in the faster water. Saw plenty rising but they were sporadic and I couldn’t work out what they were taking, tricky in the low clear water too.

A first for me on the Wye…A Hiker in my swim…A young and probably fortunately tall lady scrambled down the bank close to where I was fishing and informed me she was on the wrong side of the bank for her “Hike”…She kindly informed me she was going to make the crossing because the next bridge was too far away…I explained it was deeper and faster than it looked but she was not bothered by this and set off wading with her phone placed inside the top of her rucksack…Halfway across it was not looking too good but she calmly took her rucksack off ..held it above her head and calmly navigated her way to the opposite bank…Very impressive!! The fishing was too and although the Barbel were between 2 to 4lb they were young strong healthy fish…
