Feedback & Reports

River was a nice height 1' 2" but rose a little initially and was carrying quite a bit of colour. Not ideal for the fly but pressed on regardless. Water started to drop. Had a sea trout in Bibblins Run and another in Chestnut stream, plus pulled out of a third when lifting off the dangle. Reckon I could have had some more but by this time it was 9pm and time to head back to London.

Lost a very good fish on the fly at Upper Glangwye this afternoon

First time on this beat and with a cold wind blowing down stream I was not expecting a lot of action. A slow but steady hatch of a variety of upwings got a few fish rising in one particular pool. I caught six fish of between 1-1.5lb and was broken off by two larger fish. Olive klinkhammer, Adams and black bead head nymph were the flies.

River 0.7m on gauge slight tint (tidy). Weather awful. squally veering winds made it hard work with the 15 footer. No sign of salmon. A huge variety of uprights hatched between 11 and 2. Dark olives, light olives, may duns and even a couple of mayfy and false march browns . A very localised rise ensued (usual suspects on the flats just above woodstream) Quite difficult to cast to in a gusty downstream wind and just a couple of missed takes.

Weather cold, wet and windy. Fished from 11am to 2pm before giving up. Only saw 4 flies and no rising fish at all. Only saw one fish which I disturbed when wading. Did much better on previous trip. Overhanging trees need a trim.

Very cold day. River low and very clear. Difficult day's fishing given the strong wind and general chill. Steady olive hatch throughout the day, a few fish showing in the flats above the island. 5 fish caught, one on a klinkhammer the rest on nymphs. Best fish was about a pound. Fish and mobile signal disappeared in the afternoon!

A cold and very windy day. No hatch or fish seen. The water looked rather milky - not sure whether this is normal or due to run off from nearby farms. Access to upper section of beat was a little tricky [ ? needs access work ]. Still, a lovely bit of water.
