Feedback & Reports

A warm overcast day with a slight rise on the river and a little colour. Plenty of flies hatching from the early afternoon on, LDO's and various sedges and duns I didn't recognise. Fished a duo and caught 7 trout on the nymph, 2 of them around the 1lb mark, the rest a fair bit smaller - all returned. Lost three more and missed two rises to the dry. Also saw a salmon jump in LLangoed pool. A really enjoyable day.

Spinning - no luck.

Started at the bottom of the beat and worked our way up about half way before the wind changed and turned cold.
Sporadic hatch throughout but trout more than willing to come up for a klinkhammer fished in the faster parts of the pools/runs. No monsters, biggest about a pound but good fun.

One 14 and half pound fresh cock springer taken in Rectory Pool towards tail. Willy Gunn tube medium sink tip. Fought strong 10 minutes and landed and released. In excellent condition, fat but no sea lice. At least one other salmon in the pool. Also 1, 1lb browne also in Rectory Pool.

1 Salmon, 1 Trout

Fished for trout as the water was low. Two caught, one fell to an emerger and one to a wet.

16 or so to hand in the few hours on the Olchon. Klink and dink in the faster water and picked up five or six until fish started rising to the swarms of midges. Switched to size 18 cdc f-fly and picked off a further 10 then abruptly all rises ceased and with that so did the feeding frenzy, very bizarre, several olives on the water. Could of been more, had several shake the hook. All in all an enjoyable few hours.

Fished for about an hour over lunchtime. The river was a little high, making most of the beat inaccessible.
Caught one rising trout, on a grey duster klinkhammer, in the top pool.

It would seem that reading the other returns the Arrow is yet to get going - not a single fish surfaced all day, probably not helped by the overnight rain that meant the water seemed to colour up as the day went on. Out of hope rather than expectation I 'Klinked an' Dinked' my way round the beat and ended up with half a dozen small trout. Some of the pools would have suited using heavy bugs as they are waist deep with good flow.

Great day fishing with Dave Marsh on this fantastic beat. Lots of different types of water to fish but all 9 fish were taken on the dry fly; March Brown imitations. We did have an unusual interval when some swimmers came and bathed in the pool that Dave was fishing! Fished from 10:00 to 15:30 when the hatches had come to an end and the fish had stopped rising.
Highly recommended beat.
