Feedback & Reports

Good water, level rises after rain. No surface activity, sunny, windless. Hard to find a fish all day long, one hour before dusk fish were more active, saw a few salmon jumping.

Spinning and worm with float. 1 crayfish but 0 fish.

Did not fish due to leaves on water

River was ideal, had good flow and some colour. Started with Elips pellets with feeder in the morning but no success. At about midday, switched to 1" meat cubes using inline ledger and fished further out in main flow, bites started immediately. Lost a couple of Barbel in weed and landed two fish 7.8lb & 5.5lb. After lunch there was a lot of freshly cut branches and debris coming down river, I presume from bank maintenance work further upstream, it became difficult to fish so I went to watch the rugby final. Spoke to the other ticket holder further downstream who had at least a dozen barbel on pellets & feeder - so don't rule out pellets based on my report.

Lovely bit of river, with good access, we used groundbait feeders with pellet/maggot with groundbait pluged ends, we caught 5 barbel & 2 chub during the main part of the day, using pellet on the hook, 5 more barbel caught early evening as it started to get dark, testing conditions due to weed drifting downstream causing frequent recasting.
All fish were mint condition and went back well/strongly.
We look forward to revisiting the venue.

What an amazing days fishing on the Dolgau beat on the Wye, me and my friend Shaun fished as guests of the owner who kindly let us on this beautiful part of the Wye, as we were fishing we were lucky enough to see 8 salmon jumping throughout the day and truly spectacular thing when they leap out just a few yards away. This is an amazing river to fish with really good fish stocks and amazing scenery. I had a grayling knocking on 2lbs, a lovely fish caught on a CDC red tag variant fished under a klinkhammer with about 1 1/2 meters between them. I can truly recommend this location if you want to catch nice grayling. I believe the owner rents out accommodation if you fancied making a few days of it.

Hi: had two very enjoyable days on the Dee a lot of grayling from a few ounces to 1.75lb. All the trout were quite small. We had all fish on tungsten nymphs. River was low and slightly coloured. Wonderful surroundings and autumn colours.

Chose the wrong day....water the colour of milk chocolate and rising.....saw no fish nor could tempt them subsurface.
Drew a blank.

In promising conditions (overcast) we caught from top field, woods and bottom fields all on meat. Chub were caught in the woods, best action was when it was getting dark, good day.

Lots of floating weed and leaves,but really nice beat. Easy to find and great access. No bites until evening. Biggest barbel was 9lb 4. Will visit again.
