gibby Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Does any one fish in this area? Any good pools to try in or techniques people have found useful in the past? Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi mate I have fished the river a few times down stream from Lampeter towards Newcastle Emlyn it is one of the nicest and most picturesque game rivers in Britain. I assume you are after the Trout in which case early season nymphing would be best. I have had good success on a floating line with a sink tip and a Gold head hares ear works well as does darker wet flies like Black and Peacock spiders I have found. Some big Sewin are caught late spring but can turn up early in the river after a spate. I have taken fish on prawns or Spinning with a small mepps. I have only caught one slamon on the river that was a 8lb spring run fish in early April. This was caught on a home tied fluro prawn so bright I had to wear shades to put it on the line. The river used to have a good spring run of fish but i havent been down there for a good 6 years I would be tempted to use a minimum 12lb line if you are salmon fishing as there can be some snags which chaff. I use a 10ft 6 No. 9 single handed rod for the Sea Trout and Salmon and a 10ft No. 6 for the trout. Good luck I hope you enjoy it and catch some fish. I must make an effort and get down there again myself soon. it really is a super river. FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
