Report, Gwendraeth Fach

Date - 10/07/08

After torrential rain yesterday, and the showers today - the Gwendraeth Fach was running high and coloured, but following reports of a few fish, I decided to give it a quick go.

First cast with a single worm, resulted in a brown trout of about 1/2 lb.


This fish was followed by another 6 or 7 brownies, and a brace of eels (the smallest I've ever seen!). A quick change of venue and after a dozen or so unproductive casts with a mepp, I put on a small fire tiger rapala and immediately hooked a sewin of around 2lb, which took practically under my feet! After a quick thrash - the fish came off! 2nd one in 3 days!

I fished the rapala through the pool for another 10 - 15 minutes without success.

The fish finally appear to have arrived.
