Feedback & Reports

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.
