Feedback & Reports

River very low but the fish were there, just not taking baits. My fish on the float.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Tough going in hot conditions but we caught one eventually in the fast water at the top end, on a spicy sausage pellet.

Most fish caught on the feeder using pellet hook baits, some Chub on trotted sweetcorn. Steady action in the middle section including all but one of the barbel which went to 7lb. Late evening Chub action in Wye bank pool

The drive into Wales showed up how dry it has been with little water in the rivers and the upland streams completely dry.
As always, the approach is spectacular
We arrived about mid day to low 20's C, a light westerly breeze and hazy sunshine. When ever the breeze dropped fish started to rise, most out of cast in the middle of the Lyn. Six 1/2lb fish were caught on a foam beetle, at least one of the party being sufficiently awake to spot numbers of beetles hurling themselves into the water. The best fish, a lovely 14 inch was caught on a pale Deer's hair sedge pulled through the wind ripple and the other two on a Klink.
On the evidence of today there are lots of fish in this Lyn.
Also noted was the need for care, next time I will take some personal buoyancy as some of the drop offs are sudden & slippery with no hope of getting out if you fall in and with wetter conditions much of the Lyn margin would be quaking bog. The Lodge at Stayliitle is excellent and very good value.
