Feedback & Reports

Two salmon parr taken on Adam's parachute. The Edw, as advised by Wye and Usk Foundation, was extremely low, but I found some fishable pools and plenty of willing fish in a short two-hour evening session. Only had the two but must have had at least a dozen lightening takes.

Water very low with a stiff downstream wind. I fished over the shoulder of two quality fish in no more than a foot of water without spooking them. After fifteen years of this type of fishing I should have more faith in my casting, always something to learn. A perfect day in a perfect stream, two ten inch trout returned.

In addition to Penpont,I also fished Cefn Rhosan Fawr ( also pre-booked ) on June 27. On both beats, no catches, little fish showing but good fly life. Cormorant seen at Ashford from the Talybont bridge.

This is a one of my favourite stretches. The fishing wasn't easy, very hot weather and low river conditions and the downstream section fished better for us. Very enjoyable day and will return for sure.

The river was very low and slow not helped by a strong upstream wind. I searched out the faster deeper runs and found Trout in most of them.
4 nice Grayling to 18 inches came from the deeper pools.
All the fish caught on weighted nymphs on French leader including my best ever river Trout of 20 inches.

My first ever Salmon, about 8lbs silver very good condition. A big thank you to the ghillie Mick who was spot on with the fly, way to fish the pool and tackle set up.
Some very nice fly water and pools. The section is very well looked after by Mick. A number of Salmon showed on the section.

Another nice day at Sugwas Court. Two of us fished one swim and shared one rod for the majority of the session as it was a tight one but we knew the fish would be there.
Fished double 10mm elips pellets, size 8 hook and 1.25 oz lead, 10lb line. Very basic set up. No feeders today, feeding pellet with the catapult. The fish came steady through the day with the odd longer wait for a bite. Best barbel weighed 8lb12oz.
One of my favourite beats. Heard a cuckoo today for the first time in a couple of years too.
