Feedback & Reports

First time on this beat but managed to cover most of the catches with fly as indicated on a very detailed beat description. Some salmon were appparently showing in the Rectory Pool but none seen by me. Looking forward to next visits later in montth weather permitting.

Upgrade of two trout rods to salmon due to water.

3 Trout

Started fishing at 8.45am and fished every pool on The Rectory. Was eventually rewarded with of fish of approx 38 inches, estimated at 18lbs from the Rectory Pool at 8.45pm (with an extended pub lunch break in between). Also had a couple of Shad up to 3lb and a very lively brown trout.

Couldn't believe it today, water was 1 foot 9 and clear. Perfect apart from that bright sun again. Saw one salmon turn in the Rock Pool, had 1 trout from Ty Mawr and a 2 pound shad from the Rock Pool. Fished for 4 hours but had enough and called it a day. The river was alive with trout.

Fly fished the Rectory beat today for the first time. A bit too much bright sunshine! Did not see a single fish movement on the water all day!

Rough conditions, all 6 trout fell to a Cascade.

Fished all the beat that would take a fly before turning to the spinning rod, for where it was running out of water a bit. A few fish showing in different parts of the beat but one silver fish showing repeatedly in the middle of rock took my eye. It had been fished past a few times during the day without success, so I decided to wait for the sun to move. Woke up on the bank when it went cold with cloud cover, three casts and it was on, a 16 pound bar of silver. Shame it was not on the fly, but a home made barbless single hook flying C, easy to remove, it's the way to go.
