Feedback & Reports

Great days fishing, a bit bright throughout the mid part of the day and the fishing slowed right down, started to pick up again as the evening drew in. Trout were making small flies of the surface, missed a few takes and three fish didn’t make the net.
Greyling took a plain pheasant tail nymph right on the end of a drift.

Lovely beat. Water lower and clearer than yesterday. Fish only took flies with a splash of pink for much of the day. Red hot spider seemingly the fly of choice later on. 4 of the grayling a decent size. All trout small or smallish. All safely returned. Two anglers kindly let me have the lower beat for the last hour. Much appreciated.

All fish returned,. Best trout around 1lb, best grayling about 2lb.

The previous days rain saw the river higher, swifter and with more colour than during my visit the evening before. The river was certainly fishable but presented a totally different challenge. After two hours prospecting to no avail with a variety of techniques I tried a size 16 Blonde Wulff. This earned me four small Chubb, a new Ty-Newydd experience for me. As the afternoon wore on I had plenty of success with a Jonathan Barnes Black Magic nymph, standing in the middle of Ciliau Run fishing across and down either side. Eight trout, mostly small with two requiring use of the net. Quite a few fish wriggled off, more difficult to set the hook fishing that way I find.

The evening ticket gave me two and a half hours of excellent fishing. Conditions were perfect. Although nothing much was showing on the surface I tempted a steady stream of fish from the depths with a small Griffith’s Gnat. Six Grayling and two Brown Trout to the net with a number of self released and near misses.

Had a great salmon casting lesson with Jonathan Morris,he sorted out some faults and left me feeling much more proficient.
