Feedback & Reports

Baited up an area along a reed bank with hemp and corn, landed 4 bream of around 4/5lbs on corn and half a dozen roach on the maggot. Hooked into something decent following these roach but the fight was all under the rod tip - eel. And another, and another, and another. Couldn't get a bite back on corn so switched to roving.

Casting worms at clouding and bubblers in the margin I banked 3 common carp to around 12lbs. Fought like nothing else on 4lb line and a 12ft Avon. Come evening I flicked a few floaters out and had a couple of nice fish appeared, with backs out of the water. Using a controller float I got right in amongst them and after 30 minutes of them nudging the float and bait, one opened it's mouth properly. A good 10 minute scrap put a pristine common carp in the net. It weighed exactly 22lbs. Amazing fight, amazing fish. Was happy there but they were still feeding so had a recast, had a take fairly quickly but lost the fish on a big lunge at range - seemed a good fish again, but they always do when they come off! Great venue, would recommend it to anyone.

Arrived at Ty-Newydd around 2pm and the river was still running high at around 2'9" on the Llanstephen gauge and with only a couple of inches visability. Fished for a few hours with the fly but no touches. Saw one grilse move in Bathing Pool and the third rod saw a bigger fish jump in Green Bank but that was it. Looked like it would fish in another 24-48 hours.

Not much to report today unfortunately. Nil caught, not a bite even. River was well up and like chocolate with logs etc coming down though. First time on this stretch and I must say it really looks good.

1 x 29 inch hen salmon, 9.5 - 10lbs slightly coloured, on Bann Shrimp fished off floating line and intermediate tip.

Arrived to find that river had dropped a foot and was at a perfect 1.5 ft level - but dirty ...aggh! Fished in continuous rain in the hopes that the forecast deluge wouldn't be too heavy and the river would clear just enough before the level went up again. But thats' the trouble nowadays, the forecast is pretty good and lashing rain gives the river up a foot by 5pm and colouring up more.
Plenty of trout to the spinner but no sight or sound of Salmon. Regardless another enjoyable day

Arrived in very heavy rain and opted for the lower end of the fishery. Banks very muddy and slippery, but once the rain relented I managed 5 decent barbel to around 9 1/2lb. All fish taken on pellet. Thanks again WUF and Adam for the upkeep of this excellent beat.

Zero.

Hard days fishing, just one chub between 3 rods.

0 fish. Water high and very coloured.
