Feedback & Reports

Caught by Jack Allen over from Canada with a broken wrist in a cast, a borrowed rod and only a pair of wellies: all from by Clettwr Brook. Proof that you don't need all the gear if you know what you are doing! Jack was taught to fish by his grandfather, Bob Browning, who bought Ty Newydd in 1983.

19 x trout 8 - 15 inches, mostly on spiders, Waterhen Bloa and Hare's Lug and Plover. Last 4 fish on dries on a pool tail during an LDO hatch, Stuart Jarvis' Bastard Adams and Olive Jingler. Water high but clear. March browns elsewhere on the beat apparently.

Had a first go at swinging spiders on this beat after a brief chat with Oliver Burch about set up and fly choice. Appreciated the advice!
Had to adjust quickly to the speed of the takes. Got a few trout mainly on the point fly of a team of three including an acrobatic one pounder which leapt all over the place (but stayed on).
1’1” on the gauge and river running slightly coloured. Trickle of M Browns brought them up at lunchtime. Dry flies (klinks in particular) brought more takes but didn’t connect.
