Feedback & Reports

Didn’t arrive till lunch time but despite the nice weather it didn’t look liked we’d missed much in terms of fishing. The water was pushing through at a fair speed (we hadn’t checked the gauge the night before) and finding the fish was not easy. The most productive place was in front of the hut where the water was calmer. Managed to get 7 between us by the end of the day. As with recent trips the fly life increased in the evening but stopped again pretty quickly when the temperature dropped.

We will be off the Towy tomorrow abut looking at the weather for next week getting another trip in before the season finishes might be a struggle. Even if we do it’ll be dads turn to pay so last report for me for the season. Thanks to the WUF and land owners for making it possible to fish and enjoy the countryside. Already counting the days till March….

4 Trout

River low and tea coloured. Temp hovering around 19C so only fished the faster, better oxygenated water with a trout Spey rod and de-barbed hooks. A couple of grayling to 14” and trout to 11”, otherwise small. Taken on a wide variety of flies but, only seeing one decent rising fish, I didn’t fish any dries. Six of the trout came from double takes to point and mid dropper.
All fish quickly to hand, nothing netted, and quickly released but a good number of others wriggled off.

14 Trout, 11 Grayling

Fished 7am-12pm then 2-5pm roughly, no bites on dry flies. 3 brown trout all between 8-20cm long on nymph. Largest was caught at the very top of the beat around 11am. Next time we'll plan our trip to target the evening rise.

3 Trout

Dry fly & Nymph. Beautiful stretch of river. Only small fry observed. Zero catch due to operator error.

Disappointing fly life given the conditions, only the odd rise seen

3 Trout, 1 Grayling
