Kevin Voyce | 09/04/2017 | Ty Nant | 11:30 | 15:30 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | River level at 0.43m running clear and good level for fishing the many pools and riffles. Hard days fishing battling a westerly wind blowing downstream causing havoc with casting. No fly hatches observed and no fish seen rising all day. Tried prospecting with a Elk Hair Caddis dropper and PTN to no interest. Similar story with Greenwell Spider and Black Peacock Spider wet flies. One 7" out of season grayling finally succumbed to a Gold Head Diawl Bach nymph. | |||||||

Kevin Voyce | 22/04/2017 | Llanyblodwel | 11:00 | 12:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | River level 0.32m, bright sunny day with cool wind. Attempts at trawling a combination of Diawl Bach Nymph & Copper John Nymph, and Gold Head Grey Shrimp & Copper John Nymph through the various riffles enticed as much interest as a voter turn-out to a local by-election. Nil. No fish observed rising, with only a light fly hatch underway before noon. | ||||||||
Kevin Voyce | 22/04/2017 | Carreghofa | 12:00 | 15:30 | 1 | 1 | 1 | River level 0.32m. At the first sight of a rising fish nymphing was discarded in favour of an Iron Blue Parachute #14 and rewarded first cast with a 9" brown trout just after lunch. Fish were again rising by mid afternoon to a light hatch of olives and black gnats with a cracking 15" Grayling also taken on the Iron Blue Parachute #14. Faith once again restored in 'chucking the fluff'. | ||||||||

Andrew Renwick | 06/05/2017 | Church Fields | 09:30 | 11:30 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Water very low and clear, sporadic rises, but eventually reverted to a clink and dink. All the fish came to the nymph, size 16 black tungsten bead pheasant tail. All the fish were holding in the faster water at pool heads. My guest fell in which cut short our adventures while he changed into dry clothes, we went off to the Llyn. | ||||||||
Andrew Renwick | 06/05/2017 | Llyn | 12:30 | 15:30 | 5 | 3 | 2 | Cold east wind, but fish moving on the top, some swirls to the dry fly and abortive takes, went to a black pennel palmer #10 and a small #10 cormorant, caught a decent fish of a pound, but swallowed the fly so kept it for tea. The fish had been eating croxia ( water boatmen) which may explain the strange rises. Pulling wets worked well around the willows at the western end.... I sprayed some WD40 on the hinges and stays of the record box up there as they were a target stiff and rusty. | ||||||||
Andrew Renwick | 06/05/2017 | Ty Nant | 16:30 | 19:00 | 1 | 1 | Difficult, few fish showing, got a small one on the nymph, not much of a hatch and no rise. At least today the overhead conditions were better. Some rain and westerly winds would be lovely. | |||||||||

Kevin Voyce | 06/05/2017 | Glantanat Isaf | 11:00 | 16:00 | 1 | 1 | River level 0.27m and approaching summer low flow conditions, with no fish stirring initially up to 2pm. Prospected with Klinkhammer and nymph to little success. Between 2pm and 4pm a good hatch of small and large olive and iron blue flies had the fish rising. Ginger Quill, Kites Imperial dry fly were quickly tried and ignored by a riffle of rising fish, with a Grey Duster eventually tempting an 8" brown trout. Yellow and Olive Klinkhammer also attracted some splashy rises but I missed all the takes. | |||||||||
Wilf Nelson | 07/05/2017 | Llanyblodwel | 15:00 | 17:00 | 1 | 1 | very clear, a few fish showing, had about 6 more hit and spit, so with better luck it would have been a good couple of hours | |||||||||

One of the fish above weighed just under the 3 lbs taken from beneath the oak on the left bank adjacent to the field at Henblas. My guest for the day took 5 of the above fish and had a wonderful day. He was so enamoured with the environs and the quality of the water and fish that he has asked if it would be possible if he could be placed on the membership waiting list? If this is possible I shall pass the relevant contact details onto him. Should it be required I am able to vouch for Mr Karl Roffey my freind of some years standing and an excellent fisher. I should also mention that he was also very impressed with the "no-stocking" policy that the club has adopted. | |||||||

Kevin Voyce | 22/04/2018 | Banhadla | 14:30 | 16:00 | Frames containing the Upper, Middle and Lower beat maps, Club Rules and Fly Identification Poster were hung in the fishing lodge this afternoon. Worth a visit, great place to have lunch over looking the river. In time available covered a single rising fish with a couple of dry fly patterns (Iron Blue Parachute, Orange Quill & Large Dark Olive) but to no success. River at 0.51m looking good and finally fishable again with couple of flies hatching off this afternoon after a long wet cold April. | |||||||||||

Mike Handyside | 05/05/2018 | Llanyblodwel | 13:00 | 16:00 | 3 | I agree with Ian. Boiled lobster weather!

Rob Park | 15/05/2018 | Carreghofa | 16:30 | 17:30 | 0 | 2 | Stopped fishing and walked up to the bridge - no fly life whatsoever, riverbed covered in silty crud the water had an unpleasant odour. Saw 2 fish rise and caught both on an Adams.The riverbed worsens as you get closer to the weir. Black filamentous crud (its a scientific term for stringy necrotic material) so disappointing. The small amount of weed is in trouble too.Agribusiness wins.The only genuine sign of life was the salmon that turned over about 8ft from me level with the cherry tree 100M above the weir - yes Mike H. 10-12lbs black back with some red on the flank.He is on a lie so I expect the boys from the Shrewsbury coffee shop will be catching him soon?

Mike Handyside | 18/05/2018 | Carreghofa | 14:00 | 17:30 | 2 | 2 | The river is full of yearling trout (four-inch) after the high recruitment of the dry winter 2016 - 2017 with little gravel washout. They are a bit of a nuisance and I try to avoid them, however, conversely the larger fish are so difficult at the moment. A lack of hatch with only the odd Mayfly makes them wary in the, now, low water. | |||||||||
Kevin Voyce | 18/05/2018 | Church Fields | 11:00 | 15:30 | 2 | River running very clear with clouds of small flies buzzing the water.

Mike Handyside | 31/05/2018 | Glantanat Isaf | 12:00 | 14:30 | 11 | 1 | Perfect conditions before the sun came out: humid, heavy cloud and still. A reasonable catch (numbers not size) belies the appalling state of the river on Tue, witnessed by Rob and myself and reported to NRW. Two days after the storm event which hit the whole catchment, beautifully clear, cool rain water was coming down the Tanat immediately above Glantanat Isaf, to be intercepted by the silt-laden Iwrch (top limit North bank) and Lleiriog (quarter mile downstream of Iron Bridge, North bank) tribs, rendering the middle and lower beats totally unfishable. The Lleiriog looked like something out of the American gold rush. We presume this has been caused by the ditching, dredging and gravel extraction which has been undertaken by farmers over previous months, destabilising the beds. Mugo, while on holiday is aware and on the case and I think he would want me to say the following: if we see high amounts of silt from either of these two streams it should be reported immediately to NRW and photographic evidence taken. | |||||||||

Mainly exploration today I was joined by the Membership Secretary and we walked the beat top to bottom putting the world to right- delighted. Great deal for the club without increasing Membership beyond planned.Mungo's booking suggestions well worth bearing in mind and observing.Lets have some more water and cloud. | |||||||
Steve Whitney | 07/08/2018 | Marthrafal Farm | 08:00 | 13:00 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 | Good day with duo and dries/emergers. Nothing hatching but fish looking up for food in the main, and on the feed despite summer low level. The only one to a nymph was a double hook up with the duo - a Trout on dry and a Grayling on nymph! Nice beat to fish with good wading. Not sure how to get down to downstream limit though - can you walk along the fields? | ||||||
Wilf Nelson | 08/08/2018 | Carreghofa | 10:30 | 15:00 | 7 | 3 | 2 | Very low and clear, but a good ‘hatch’ of aphids and terrestrials and a good breeze kept the fish moving. Could easily have had twice as many, particularly as the fish were being quite selective. All on BabySunfly | ||||||||
Rod McNamara | 08/08/2018 | Marthrafal Farm | 11:00 | 20:00 | 10 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 2 | Lovely beat and a great acquisition by the committee who should be applauded for adding this delightful stretch of the Vyrnwy to the clubs waters. As it was a new water I searched with a duo rig intitially and just could not stop catching young fish. So went to a more targeted approach and Moser Balloon Cadis did the trick with the two larger fish. When retrieving across the flow to recast I moved a very nice fish who just took a slash at the submerged fly but alas would not come back for another go. Found a couple of pods of Grayling too which couldn’t resist a natural IOBO. With the gauge showing .17 this beat is easily wadable throughout its length. Also saw a couple of Mink unfortunately. | ||||||

I was going to just carry the camera, rather than a rod, but glad I didn't! One of my best catches in such a poor season and the fish fought so well, none of them sick with low oxygen now. Three were almost 13 inches. Amazing to see pools you used to fish only a few inches deep and others which you thought were very deep are infact very, very deep, refuges for a few huge browns and the salmon. | |||||||||

Enjoyed an hour in the hut at lunch time with a read of the T&S and heating my toastie on the fire. Saw dippers, kingfisher and two kites along with many pheasants, just what winter fishing is all about. However the valley will soon resound to the sound of shotguns, loud people and dogs until the end of January whilst the pheasant population is solidly diminished. Hopefully not too many other birds will be disturbed!! | |||||||||

Had to work hard to find a couple of small Grayling shoals but they took avidly when finally located. Only found them in two pools today and the last few I caught rose freely to the dry, as some pale wateries and the odd sedge appeared in the sunshine.

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. | ||||||||
