Feedback & Reports

I took my cousin on his first ever salmon fishing trip and he caught his first salmon, 8lb lightly coloured female fish which was returned on spinner.

1 Salmon, 10 Trout

Only one brownie spotted during 5 hours. No rises or takes. Water quite low completely clear. Challenging.

Fish caught on feeder/halibut pellet and trotted Bait Tech fish-meal pellets.

Very pleasant day's fishing. Trout small - one about 12inch and two around 6inches, water clear.
Talybont Railway Station Inn, excellent for drink and snack lunch close to top of beat.
Access not easy for half beat.

River in great condition after the rain. No surface activity but fish taking nymphs well.

6 Trout

Very tough with very little action.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Pellet and luncheon meat baits used. River fairly low and clear.

6 Chub

Catch numbers are approximate as I lost count. Biggest barbel went 8lbs 9oz and chub went 4lbs 8oz but was spawned out. It had the head of a 6lb fish easy. River at summer level, lovely day.

Very quiet night for sewin but I caught loads of brown trout. The sewin picked up about 3am but I still couldn't connect with any although they were showing at the bottom of the flats. Maybe next time.

River level still low and clear, lots of loose weed from up stream. Fished from 6am till 8:30pm, same swim, same tactics, same baits. Had 3 barbel weighing 4lb 8oz, 2-3lb and 6lb. 3 chub weighing 3lb, 3lb 8oz, 2-3lb and lost 1 fish. Illegal fishing at lugs mouth again on both sides of the river. Gateway to field is dangerous! Do not try to drive on track around field if wet, deep tracks fill up but ok when dry. I drove a Renault scenic with no problem. All in all a beautiful beat and excellent fishing.
