6 chub & 3 eels between 3 rods with one rod taking 1 chub, 1 rod catching 5 chub to 5lb and one rod the three eels. All on meat despite trying multiple swims and multiple baits / methods.

1 x Barbel 8lbs 4 oz.

Fished above the bridge. 6 Barbel 5-6lbs and 2 chub 3-4lbs.

Didn't see any fish rising not much fly life. After about 2 hours fishing I heard an horrendous noise coming downstream. Turned out to be 2 large open metal canoes each carrying 3 people with their hulls scraping the rocks on the river bed, had to quickly move to the bankside. I had been looking forward to fishing this beat & didn't expect to be disturbed in this way. With my trip cut short by this experience I felt disappointed.

Water height 1ft 11". Fished all day with the fly, no fish caught.

This is the 3rd time we have fished this lovely beat and we caught very well taking 26 barbel all bewteen 5lb and 9lb 6oz, taken on 8mm halibut pellet. We fished from 11am until 6.30pm and caught quite well through the day but better in the last hour.

A lovely if not tiring day on a lovely venue. Plenty of Roach, Rudd, Chub and Perch caught on the float. The day was somewhat frustrating though by the fact that I couldn't get any Carp to the net.( I lost three )
Didnt see a soul all day, perfect many thanks again to the WUF.

Ladies,
First apologies for not submitting sooner, I had not forgotten. Thank you for the help in getting me the bookings. I came down on speck having spoken to D and A B a short time before to find they had no bookings. Well planed fishing trips for me do not work and I find it much more rewarding just to turn up and take what is available. It worked well for today the 21 Aug 2012 and hopefully for the 22 and 23 Aug 2012.
Today I had the pleasure of a meeting with Dr Stephen happily murdering Himalayan Balsam with a magic little tool.

Upper am - A total of 5 Browns all taken on a variation of the PT Nymph with Russian Black Pheasant Center Tail, Bodies, fished on the bottom lots of weight. Average size 5" to 8" for the first four and 10" for the fifth, around a pound handsome little chap.

Lower pm - Changeover time. Unlike Gromain, Llanstephan is a predictable stretch of river and as the afternoon progressed 9 Browns were taken again on the PT Variation fished hard and deep all in the 8" to 10" bracket all below a pound around 5.45pm, bigger Browns began to rise to a big hatch of what I know as Willow Fly Double Winged Tan Brown body colours, so on went a Willow Fly Dry. I connected with a brown approx 4 to 5lbs monster which gave me a good run around which I ended with a LDPR, Long Distance Premature Release. Give a trout with nous a little slack line and bless him, he will spit the hook for you. I fish light, 3lb tippet size 14 and 16 hooks all barbless so do not invite the obvious.
A great day with lots of memories of good sport and brave trout.
All the best and once again Thank you for your help.

1 small trout but still an enjoyable day. River level was high but fishable.

5 trout to 1lbs.
