News for the Week

Prospects for Salmon for September and October are excellent on all three rivers provided we get our overdue share of rain, good numbers of Salmon are showing in both Caernarfon Bay and Menai Straits. Fly and spinning when levels are above the marks will undoubtedly produce fish. Bait fishing not allowed after 7th. October.
Remember also for seasonal permit holders who have returned their voucher and been issued with a log sheet, there is a fly only extension on a catch and release basis until 31st October on the Seiont from Pont Rhythallt Bridge to the sea.

Fishing also continues for rainbows only at Llyn Dywarchen until 30th November.

Total count of fish over the Llyfni counter to date 13th Sept exceeds 900 fish a good number of these are over 1 metre in length, largest salmon to date from this river at 14lbs 8 oz fell to John Hewitt from Southampton on 20th Aug. his son also landed a 5lb 8oz sewin on the same day. Both fish came fron the Glanrafon area.

Charr fishing should produce some good bags until 17 October, spinning from anchored boats at the top of the lake is strongly recommended, believe it or not a No. 5 Mepp is the in thing. Allow your spinner to sink and reel in slowly. If you don't catch and I'll be surprised if you don't, go and visit the Bistro on the High Street at Llanberis, you can usually find them on the menu there during the season, highly recommended, if I send enough there I might get a brandy next time I visit !!
