Feedback & Reports

Our second day and second WUF beat. Arrived at 4:45 AM, and decided to fish the swim with the inspection cover as suggested and the next swim upstream. Balled in some bait then went back to the van to rest the swim and tackle up. Fished with feeders till about 10Am with no joy. With canoes coming down we decided to come back later.
Arrived back to the same swims about 5PM and just used feeders to search the swims, fished until 10PM with only 2 chub an eel and a hand sized barbel, which took 2 elips pellet, greedy bugger!! River was slow and conditions were bright, also a lot of canoes as it was the weekend. Can't win them all.

Pleasant weather if a little below average air temperature. Rises limited to sporadic fish with no real pattern to identify the fly. Water not too badly affected and as always good enough access for all of us. Most on dry fly with a couple of Dace thrown in for good measure.

Fished the Lucky Stone pool, not a place for the faint hearted, or those without a rope, but most definitely worth the effort.
I must of lost half as many fish as I caught due to being cut off and the snaggy nature of this swim.

23 Barbel, 8 Chub

Fresh grilse 4lb and 6lb on fly. Residents still pretty comatose in black Irfon water.

2 Salmon

Fly only.

Fish were caught on pellet throughout the day, barbel 2 lbs to almost 10 lbs. Rained all day and floating weed caused a problem. Good days fishing.

27 Barbel

2 small wild trout on spiders.

Looks like a nice bit of water and did see a couple of fish but failed to connect with them. Mick was very helpful.

2 Chub

Constant rain all day and very heavy at times. Fished the lower section opposite the two houses, baited and fished 5 swims landing 2 barbel to 6lb. Between us we hooked a number of fish that we lost. In the evening we moved to the top end of the beat and between us landed 3 larger fish all on pellets.
The rain made the access track very slippery we stopped short of the river on level ground (with out blocking the track) as the slope back up would have been difficult.

Learning to fish day for my son, so not trying too hard.
Conditions were cloudy and wet, river was running clear but disappointingly very little fish movement throughout the afternoon.
