Ian Baguley23/03/2020Dolobran14:3016:303LDO hatch at 2.30 nice to see. Caught on dry fly.

Rob Park13/05/2020Carreghofa08:3012:002221All that you would expect clear low water algae++ nil rising and cold. No fry. Little insect life -all in all poor fishing. Thats the negatives out of the way marvellous to be out good to be alive and it beats the awful alternatives so many are facing right now.
Steve Whitney13/05/2020Church Fields11:0015:00422Nymphs and dries. Good hatches from about 1pm with a very few Mayfly peeling off. Unable to fish Wigleys as called away early.
Mike Handyside13/05/2020Carreghofa12:0017:00141All on dry. Best two were 13 and 14 inches.
Robert Boutflower16/05/2020Church Fields11:0015:00Fishing + picnic!! I’m lodging at Nantmawr just above so happy to give way to distance travellers.
Kevin Voyce15/05/2020Church Fields11:0015:30fishing 1 rod, chasing trout and freedom

Ian Baguley15/05/2020Carreghofa13:3017:00Thought I would give it a go
Robert Boutflower16/05/2020Church Fields11:0015:00Pulling out because I now believe I currently reside in Wales...

Rob Park17/05/2020Llanblodwel09:3015:00Fishing with new Member Brian Owen = 2 rods
Mike Handyside15/05/2020Llanblodwel12:0017:3012Really difficult in such low water, but best two were around 13 and 14 inches again.
Robert Boutflower15/05/2020Glantanat Isaf14:0017:3021Liberating.Nice to see I was checked out by Neil! Lots of wildlife.
Kevin Voyce15/05/2020Church Fields11:0016:0041Good fly hatch buzzing off the water all day, with trout rising from midday and throughout the afternoon along the entire beat. Baby Sun and Iron Blue Parachute dry flies proved best.
Ian Baguley15/05/2020Carreghofa13:3016:301220.23m Few mayflies but trout not interested. PTN for all. Oh....and next time I'll remember my waders!!

Robert Boutflower16/05/2020Llanerch Emrys13:0017:001Pied flycatchers, wood duck, and lots of fly life. Low water quite tricky.

Rob Park17/05/2020Wigley's Fields15:0016:00Walked down and up with Brian effective fishing v little. No flies no dimpling.He has a good grasp of all the English water now.
Rob Park17/05/2020Llanblodwel13:3014:30Walked both ways dipped in a couple of times with Brian nil happening
Rob Park17/05/2020Carreghofa11:0012:0021Walked from the Horseshoes to Welsh Border bottom below the weir.No aerial flies apart from some midges nil rising or at least one did and was caught.Totally enjoyable occasion with Mr Owen who I hope enjoyed looking at the river.
Brian Owen17/05/2020Llanblodwel13:3014:30Thanks to Rob today for giving me his time and guidance. Low water, bright sunshine wasn't helpful

Sandy Chapple-Gill19/05/2020Mathrafal14:0018:00022A few fish rising Water a bit thin Great to be on the river again
Mike Handyside19/05/2020Llanblodwel19:3021:3011The large one was 14 to 15 inches.
Charles Morris20/05/2020Carreghofa17:3018:30one or two rising. No fish but caught 2 poachers with the help of the Police!

Andy Renwick24/05/2020Llyn12:0015:000010Blowy, cold wind, nothing showing Consistently ..... had the fish on the far side where there’s those stones 2/3 the way back to the dam...... couple of other pulls. Evaded the police in case 12 miles wasn’t local enough !
Mike Handyside24/05/2020Church Fields21Thought I had done really well landing a beautiful trout of about one and a half pounds, but got broken at the end by one which could have been twice the size or even bigger.
Wilf Nelson24/05/2020Carreghofa12:0016:30825Low, but various flies were hatching so fish were moving. Good fun
Wilf Nelson24/05/2020Llanblodwel09:0011:30722Clear and windy, but they were on, nymph and dry
Kevin Voyce24/05/2020Carreghofa11:0016:0021Trout smashing a steady but light mayfly hatch. Lots of hits and two fat trout on a Mohican May Fly pattern. Salmon parr was 6 to 8 inches. Retrieved 10m of line and a treble hook spinner from a tree about 300m up stream of weir. Designated parking area on grass verge could do with revising as a little tight for passing tractor and trailer traffic.
Rob Park26/05/2020Carreghofa15:0020:00I rod goin fishin
Mike Handyside25/05/2020Llanblodwel17:0021:30Going to fish this evening.

Mike Handyside25/05/2020Llanblodwel17:0021:301
Richard Herzog26/05/2020Llanblodwel11:0015:302Enjoyably challenging. An inch or two of rain would be very welcome.

Robert Boutflower25/05/2020Banhadla12:0018:0011Very low, bright and windy. Late hatch of Mays caused us to stay later, but nothing stuck although decent fish moving intermittently. The Barbie has a wasps nest in it... no longer.
Steve Whitney27/05/2020Llanblodwel09:3014:30251All on emerger patterns.

Mike Handyside28/05/2020Church FieldsGoing to fish later in afternoon.
Ian Baguley28/05/2020Llanblodwel09:0015:00131Ridiculously low clear and hot for May. A few rising fish. Mayflies about in the morning.
Andrew Dale14/05/2020Carreghofa13:0017:0000000000River very low and clear. Quite a good hatch of fly incl clouds of smuts, and occasional duns and mayfly; good numbers of fish rising, but they wouldn't look at anything on my line.
Nick Browne28/05/2020LlanblodwelGoing fishing 1800 onwards cheers
Mungo Munro28/05/2020Carreghofa09:3015:3023Extremely low, extremely hot, very little fly life. Flogged Carreghofa and Llanyblodwel. Missed a few, persisted with dry fly and had to go down to a size 24 Adams which took me 10 minutes to get the line through the eye and I couldn’t see half the time, before I had any joy. Obviously not in the same league as Wilf and Rob. Think I will wait for a bit more water or drop in temperature. Should have grubbed the bottom with a weighted nymph!!
Nick Browne28/05/2020Llanblodwel19:0021:0000100000000Mayflys on the top bumbling about just like me with my dry imitation...Reverted to a mayfly nymph bingo.........
Mike Handyside28/05/2020Church Fields17:0021:004
Robert Boutflower29/05/2020Wigley's Fields18:3020:001Very wary, plenty of fly but very tricky.
Wilf Nelson30/05/2020Church Fields19:3021:301211Dropped in on way back from Gamefishers. Nice olive spinner fall at 9pm in the quick rocky water at the top of the beat, some really nice fish moving - mainly away from me
Robert Boutflower30/05/2020Wigley's Fields19:3021:001River down 2” on previous night! Very little fly (compared to Wilf’s report), and only grayling at the top end showing. Have concerns about the resident merganser...
Steve Gauge02/06/2020Llanerch Emrys17:0020:30At least it was nice Evening, Didn't seem to be a lot of movement, half a dozen rises maybe but first go on the beat so not sure what 'good' looks like
Rob Park04/06/2020Carreghofa14:3016:0011
Andy Renwick04/06/2020Church Fields17:3019:3000000000Despite low water the pools are still deep, fished like a duffer, raised four nothing big, missed them all..... not much fly
Andy Renwick04/06/2020Ty Nant19:3021:0001Very thin, not much rising, had one beautiful small trout on a mayfly emerger......
Andy Renwick06/06/2020Carreghofa11:0012:3001Lost an hour helping a farmer rescue a cow we found fallen down the bank..... my guest Andy Barkley had a trout on a dry mayfly ..... very low, no pace to it
Andy Renwick06/06/2020Llanblodwel12:3013:30Nowt, very few flies, no mayfly, couple small fish rising.....
Andy Renwick06/06/2020Church Fields14:0014:3001My guest caught the fish, little seen, we moved on when the farmer started spreading muck
Andy Renwick06/06/2020Banhadla15:0017:00Very, very low, very quite some fish seen, lots of changes from the floods, saw two kingfisher say together

Mike Handyside03/06/2020Llanblodwel12:3015:001
Wilf Nelson07/06/2020Franklin09:0013:00582Very clear, but lots of fly about and fish rising, and lots visible. Most on the dry, lost a 2lb+ job on a nymph. Lovely bit of water.
Wilf Nelson07/06/2020Llanerch Emrys13:3016:3032Fair few fish about at the bottom of the stretch. All on dry, left a fly in a good one. Some massive trees in the water, Mungo will need a giant chainsaw....
Steve Whitney08/06/2020Llanblodwel08:3015:30One rod.
Steve Whitney08/06/2020Llanblodwel09:3015:00362“Saw lots of fish...” but they didnt see me this time! Extra long leader, 7X tippet and CDC’s.
Nick Browne07/06/2020Banhadla18:3021:000210000000Sorry for late entryA haze of evening fly life not much surface activity apart from tiddlers splashing about. Low water the trout were bashing the fry about made for a very eventful and surprising catch.
Steve Gauge08/06/2020Junction16:3019:001Water very low along pretty much whole beat. Couple of decent fish moving in the bigger pools close to vwrnwy confluence but i spooked them from the high bank. oops
Robert Boutflower07/06/2020Glantanat Isaf15:0018:001Now very low, one chuck on a very long fine tippet or they’re gone. Challenging stuff! No rise particularly, just off fish mostly small.
Pat Conner09/06/2020Carreghofa09:0011:3043122Plenty rising, all on un weighted nymph.
Pat Conner09/06/2020Llanblodwel11:3014:0041
Pat Conner09/06/2020Church Fields14:3015:302
Ian Baguley09/06/2020Ty Nant12:0015:00211A struggle. Very few rising up here. 0.185 from memory far too low. Best fish 14 inch. Nymph better than emerger.
Mike Handyside12/06/2020Llanblodwel13:0016:3011
Timothy Bell12/06/2020Glantanat Isaf13:3015:3011
Kevin Voyce13/06/2020Llangedwyn Hall11:3013:30Low flow conditions, glides were clear and shallow not holding many fish. Tried dry fly but with no success.
Kevin Voyce13/06/2020Llanerch Emrys13:3016:3011Switched to Endrick spider on point and another rainbow bead headed spider on the dropper, landed both trout in the same cast off a riffle in to a deeper pool. Catchment desperately needs some rain otherwise it is going to be a long hard summer for fishing.
Wilf Nelson14/06/2020Franklin17:0020:3021Still low, still clear. All on dry. Fished up from Gamefishers below - saw some immense Grayling there, and one huge one on Franklin’s - mind boggling

Wilf Nelson19/06/2020Ty Nant14:0017:00251Bit of water and colour, and rain and wind! Huge changes to the course of the river after the floods, like fishing a new river. Mostly in riffles on the nymph, fished the top end.
Wilf Nelson19/06/2020Banhadla17:0020:0079121Fairly pleasant evening, a few off the top, the bulk on the nymph. Good day.
Jon Edwards14/06/2020Llanblodwel19:0022:0032Dry Fly - excellent evening - lost another three and missed several more - better fisherman would have caught more!!
Steve Whitney20/06/2020Llanblodwel09:0014:3047612
Kevin Voyce20/06/2020Franklin11:0015:301Trawled the beat from top to bottom with a PTN nymph and spider. Didn't see a single fish rise all day.
Robert Boutflower14/06/2020Franklin15:3018:30Blank needs water
Wilf Nelson20/06/2020Glantanat Isaf08:3015:0022522Not the riot it appears to be! Early on was tiddler snatching on the dry, then in the pots and riffles from the farm and up, better fish on the nymph. State of the river is appalling- blanket brown algal covering everywhere. If we don’t question the farming practices In the valley - viz current muck spreading on the flood plain up to the rivers edge at Henblas, we’ll soon Have nothing.
Jeremy Schrecker20/06/2020Ty Nant13:0017:0041One pool completely vanished after floods leaves the old oak tree dry and stranded amongst pebbles. A few rising here and there, I managed to latch onto most of what I targeted with a Thorax Adams dry. Pleased to see the river taking the longer route though the steamer weed bit left side of the island going up.
Andy Renwick21/06/2020Llanerch Emrys10:0013:000110River was rising, caught the fish klink and dink on the nymph, lots of algae in the water, will be better tomorrow. Couple of rises and just the two fish, but it was like French onion soup....nice to see a bit of flow

Ian Baguley23/06/2020Church Fields09:0011:30912Cracking grayling of 15 inches. Lively morning by my standards. Klink n dink mixture. All the accesses now cleared. Peter who lives at the top end is creating a garden from the field but is happy for us to fish through.
Terry Carrington22/06/2020Banhadla14:0016:0001000000000No rises. Strong downstream wind made things difficult.
Richard Herzog23/06/2020Llanblodwel10:0012:003
Steve Gauge23/06/2020Ty Nant17:0020:00Didn't see a fish at all until right at the end but i'd had enough by then
Ian Baguley25/06/2020Wigley's Fields07:0010:00522Insanely warm. All caught on emergers. Forgot you need nerves of steel to wade here.
Wilf Nelson27/06/2020Franklin08:3011:00121Low and clear and quiet, except for the 10 minutes when I parted company with 3 big fish on the bounce. Grrrrr
Wilf Nelson27/06/2020Llanblodwel11:3016:00121Very wet and quiet. Bottom end of beat has some nice new pools since the flood - with a bit of water should be good
Steve Whitney30/06/2020Carreghofa08:3014:003624
Andrew Dale30/06/2020Banhadla15:3017:00321River up a bit (.37 on the gauge) and carrying a bit of colour. Scattered hatch of fly hatching including a few late mayflies, a few fish rising but no sustained move just oncers. All fish but one on nymph.
Steve Gauge30/06/2020Llanerch Emrys17:0019:301
Pat Conner01/07/2020Franklin09:0013:306114Poor in the morning caught nothing but Parr until noon, a good hatch of small olives got them rising.
Pat Conner01/07/2020Glantanat Isaf14:0016:00913All the days fish caught on a 18 Duster , I lost count of fish lost including a large fish which moved deep and slow until it spat the hook.
Rob Park02/07/2020Franklin11:0011:30Didn't actually fish 2 anglers I have seen here in the past were setting up their spinning rods and sporting barbed triples on the metal work- I departed. I feel we either have this water and set the standard or go back to Phillip Franklins ticket £3/session. In the last 10 years it can be great water some of the best on the Tanat.I suspect they were going to fish the confluence for salmon with illegal tackle or were out to murder the trout/grayling.

Wilf Nelson08.07.2020Llanblodwel09:0016:30951215.3 is just about right here. Very few rising fish, though as the deluge started some fish started rising. mostly on PTN, best fish a very chunky 14 inches. missed far more than I landed, they were skittish.

Kevin Voyce10.07.2020Banhadla12:3017:0061My guest accounted for 4 trout on Iron Blue Parachute and PTN, I had 3 on soft hackle dry fly. Well done to the grounds staff for a well strimmed path allowing easy access to the bend up stream of the hut.
Kevin Voyce11.07.2020Mathrafal11:0016:002Both grayling and trout freely rising all day and taking dry fly. Iron Blue Parachute and Klinkhammer tempted two good sized grayling. Two days out fishing out on the trot, you can tell the wife is away for the weekend!

Wilf Nelson25.07.2020Caersws08:3016:3076131I booked this on my Gamefishers card, but thought it worth noting My return for the interest of other members. Fished the upper llandinam stretch, which was busy - 5 other anglers. Low, but still lots of water, clear and difficult. It’s a great piece of water, would recommend not fishing it on a weekend though. Too late in season for a hatch, but I’m reliably informed that in season, fly life is good.

Paul Stevenson06.08.2020Church Fields14:3017:002
Paul Stevenson06.08.2020Mathrafal18:3020:3011Evening session. Watched what I thought was a young otter but having checked was probably a mink ... ?
Kevin Voyce07.08.2020Caersws10:3016:001122Regulation releases from Clywedog reservoir providing a cool relief to the hot conditions. Easy wading across wide level gravel and stone river bed. Both trout and grayling rising freely until about mid afternoon. All caught on Soft Hackle dry and Iron Blue Parachute, best fish a hard fighting 12" trout.
Andrew Dale08.08.2020Llyn14:0016:3022Rather bright with an intermittent light breeze. A few fish rising to small surface flies, probably flying ant. All fish caught on small dry black and ginger emergers.
Paul Stevenson08.08.2020Franklin12:3014:301Hot and no surface activity. Tried Glantanat after and the same.

Richard Herzog11.08.2020Llyn12:3016:0051Much better than expected considering bright calm conditions. Best fish 16 inches. Apologies to the chairman for 'water disturbance'.
Ian Baguley11.08.2020Llyn15:0018:0012Ashamed to say got snapped twice. But it wasn't the Greater Pale Herzog which also swims this water. Be warned.
Mungo Munro24.07.2020Llyn12:0016:00821
Mungo Munro12.08.2020Llyn16:0019:30711Interesting evening although very short session due to the end of the world being nigh. (Massive thunderstorm) watched the water for a while sheltering in the car and there was a rise of fish many of which were large. Guest fishing with me, we both rose and lost around a further 10. Not bad for just short of an hour and a half of fishing. Very difficult journey home as the roads were under about 6” of water.
Pat Conner13.08.2020Llyn07:0015:00921All fish caught on a small muddler due to spasmodic hatches of sedge, had a lot of refusals and missed lots of takes. Best fish a fat 17". Well worth sunstroke and that track.
Ian Baguley14.08.2020Dolobran12:0015:00121Best 18 inches. Lots of larvae, few hatching, fewer still rising fish, but CDC emerger brought them up.
Wilf Nelson16.08.2020Banhadla09:0014:3016522445If I wasn’t such a dolt would have got a lot more - all on the nymph, they were spitting a #14, but taking a #16. Biggest Trout 19ins 2,75 lbs, Grayling 18 ins. Seemed like hard work at the time, not after!
Mike Handyside17.08.2020Franklin12:0014:3011Largest was seventeen and a half inches.

David Barker24.08.2020Llyn09:0010:302Beautiful morning on the Llyn, no wind at all and blue skies. Plenty of fish rising and lost 4 at the take. Both fish took a white Klinkhammer. Some excellent lunges on a skated Daddy. Great fun.

Kevin Voyce12.09.2020Banhadla10:3013:0011Fulfilled my promised to take my wife fly fishing via a guest ticket. After 4 missed hits she landed a nice brownie and a grayling on an Iron Blue Parachute, not bad for a first timer. Although if the truth were known she was more excited by the picnic lunch and a bottle of white wine at the hut than the prospect of actually fishing. My reward, many brownie points were awarded!

Mungo Munro18.09.2020Llyn11:0015:301031Lovely day on the Llyn. Fished with guest. Great wave all day, however only the occasional rise. Best fish a fat 15”. The track up is an obstacle course of pheasants as they are feeding them by spreading the feed along the middle of the track. Best way to avoid the pheasants is not to slow down too much. They will get out of the road. The gamekeeper is leaving the gate open, if you find the gate open please close as it is just laziness on his part.

Andy Renwick14.02.2021Llangedwyn Hall12:0013:301Finally found a couple of fish- lost the first at the net when it shot under my right arm close to my body and snagged the dropper in my waistcoat - shook itself off the barbless hook. Had an identically sized fish five minutes later.....

Pat Conner2021-04-04Mathrafal10:3015:3011Lost a nice fish in the morning then nothing until 2:30 when a hatch of March browns brought them up, largest was a lovely fat fish of 19 inch.

Wilf Nelson2021-04-16Banhadla11:0016:001a last minute OSG saved a blank. Water incredibly clear, and I think the overnight frost put them down. A smattering of Grannom about - rose 2, missed one the other came off. The floods have effected a total change, nothing is the same. Saw quite a few good sized/large fish, but they werent playing ball

As the idividual had included fishing, by rod and line (worming), in his holiday package I spent the entire evening waiting for the police. They didn't attend, but Paul from the Horseshoes pub kindly helped during the incident.
David Carrington2021-04-18Carreghofa12:0015:004221Very good few hours in the afternoon, warm, sunny spells. Hatch of fly around 1pm, brought fish up. Fished Kink and dink, with a grey Klinkhammer + PTN. All fish in excellent condition (will plump up more through May). Great first day on the river.

Nick Browne2021-05-10Glantanat Isaf10:3014:0011The biggest of the browns was a smasher wen unhooking it there was probably 3or4 earth worms and fry in its mouth/ throat. Water coloured up copper colour dropping of nicely.

Ian Baguley2021-06-07Carreghofa09:3012:301Hard work. Warm muggy and a rare up stream breeze. Eventually one took a size 12 Mayfly.

David Carrington2021-06-10Franklin14:3017:30Walked and fished the whole stretch, very nice water. Very quiet, nothing moving, not a fish seen. Fished a Mayfly, Mayflies hatching and dancing in the field top end of the beat.
John Wood2021-06-10Banhadla12:3014:0011Good conditions, but little moving - only saw a handful of mayfly
John Wood2021-06-10Carreghofa14:3015:30
Pat Conner2021-06-10Mathrafal09:3015:00Very little rising and a frustrating downstream wind.

Wilf Nelson2021-06-11Franklin14:3018:001Difficult! Nothing rising, but river at a good level, and saw plenty of good fish. Suspect they were waiting for the main event - whilst a few mayfly were hatching, as I walked back there was a huge amount of spinners ready to fall - I’d suggest starting at 6.30 would pay over the next few days. Lost one big trout.

Pat Conner2021-06-12Carreghofa18:3009:0022Plenty rising but not to mayfly, I caught on a 16 dry. All went quiet 8pm

Pat Conner2021-06-13Franklin17:3008:0032Had to go down to a size 18 dry and had good sport, lost three good fish due to small hook. Very warm.
Pat Conner2021-06-15Mathrafal09:3014:30
Mike Handyside2021-06-16Llanblodwel18:0021:00312Combined catch including the day ticket.

Jon Edwards2021-06-12Banhadla18:3020:30Disappointingly quiet - very few fish showing despite reasonable numbers of Mayfly
