Feedback & Reports

After yesterday's comedy of errors that was my Abernant debacle, I don't think I've ever been so pleased to see a 10" spotty! Golf can wait! Chatting to a couple of the natives they were both of the opinion that there was still too much water in the river for good Grayling fishing, having struggled for bites this weekend I can bear that out. However, I now at least known what the river looks like when the gauge is showing 2'at Llansteffan. So a little grist to the mill and I still enjoyed a couple of days in beautiful surroundings, hardly a waste of time.

With the river higher than preferred - well over 2ft at Llanstephan- conditions weren’t really suitable for fly fishing but, with a window of good weather, we gave it a try. The level and pace of flow prevented us from getting into the best positions and no fish were caught. Will be back once the weather improves and the level drops.

Only fished for a couple of hours, struggled to find the grayling had a few WBT and a small grayling and bumped a better fish off

No attempt at fishing. River dangerously high and going like an express train. Flood warnings in place.

Cold one today. Frost in the fields and a slow start searching for the fish using czech nymphs and hares ears. Once the sun came out we switched to dries and my dad got into a couple of good grayling using a parachute, the best weighing at one and a quarter pounds.
It took me until last light to get among the action, landing two smallish grayling on a kilinkhammer in the pool downstream of the bridge. Not very big perhaps, but made the day worthwhile.

Just one small grayling today. Spent a lot of time just walking around enjoying being in the prescence of this lovely beat.

Most of the grayling were caught in a short period mid-afternoon. Fishing a duo method with all fish taken on the nymph.
