Feedback & Reports

River in good condition, overcast with an upstream breeze. Fished the afternoon. Mayfly were hatching throughout but largely ignored by the fish. Enough evidence of feeding just below the surface to keep me interested. Six fish caught with several lost. Fishing duo style at one stage I managed to connect with two Grayling simultaneously, one to the elk hair dry and one to a black magic nymph. Quite an achievement bringing both to the net successfully!

Again a lovely couple of hours, river still low, overcast and light winds. Everything taken on a Klink and lots missed. Grayling from bottom of the Bathing Pool and a nice size Trout from the bottom of Bachawy.

A good few hours showing my friend some techniques as he's new to fly fishing.
River was carrying a little colour early in the morning but by the afternoon was clear and fishing very well again. Pheasant tail nymph was fantastic as always!
Landed some nice fish and hooked into a really decent trout, but in the end he wriggled his way free (sigh). My friend brought his drone too for a quick snap of the river.
All in all a lovely day.

Today was about how many fish i missed! Oh, for some more talent! I had takes from about 30 fish but most got off or I didn't hook properly in the first place. Talking of those that got away, I caught a 2KG trout... and guess what happened....

A stiff downstream wind made the day feel much cooler than it was with intermittent rain in the morning and early afternoon.
Reasonable numbers of upwings hatching but no interest from the fish. We had a couple of grayling (12" & 14") from the bottom end of the beat on PTN and a large black nymph followed by a couple of decent pulls in the Cillau falls, but nothing else at all after midday.

A salmon splashed once in Erwood Pool mid-morning. It wasn't tempted by any of my offerings, unlike the trout. There was a steady drift of mayfly on the cool breeze and this intensified for the evening rise. A frustrating session where the trout seemed to play with the fly - too wise for an artificial pattern it seemed. A very enjoyable day on this lovely beat.

Note - the boards are treacherous in places (rotten). They ought to be replaced. Come on landowner(s)! - a little bit of investment this summer will prevent avoidable accidents.

WUF note we are on the case.....

Well, to put it bluntly, a fantastic day of fishing. Worked the pools and pockets all the way up the beat with the grayling seeming particularly lively today. Managed to get a double hookup at one point too, a first for me. 28 fish netted.

Note: One of the boards on the boardwalk midway up the beat seems to be almost 100% rotted through. Look out for this board because unless its replaced soon it'll give way and send you tumbling into the river!

Mainly cloudy with the odd sunny spell, i did see the ocaisonal rise not entirely sure what species though. Landed 2 small trout circa 8' inches and 2 tiny course fish . Size 16 olive emerger. Enjoyed a few hours of piece on the river.
