Hi, does anyone have any experience of this Welsh River?

As a nipper, i remember fishing it, very badly, for sea-trout, and usually failing. My Uncle and Grandfather lived on the banks so i used to fish it quite a lot, and was out when my grandfather had a 12.5lb seatrout from the river.

Being a nostalgic old sod, i'm thinking of heading back this summer to try and get a decent sea-trout from the river that had me frustrated and fishless as a lad. I think in all my days fishing it, i caught one very small seatrout and a couple of brownies!

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

Alex

A bit of info usually in here (you may have to register first):

Fishing Aberystwyth Salmon ,Seatrout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout with tinytrout.com

or Aberystwyth Angling Assoc website:

Aberystwyth Angling Association

And if your in the area you have to have a chuck in Tal Y Llyn!!

Fishing holidays in Wales - brown and sea trout and salmon at Tynycornel, Tal-y-Llyn

Hope this helps

I would visit Hoppys forum ,for some reason cant get you a link .
lots of info there re sewin fishing .
.
i have fished the river some ten years ago , found size sixes and eight low water hooks dressed stoat tail or haslam got me a fair few school fish but never got into the biggys , for the middle and upper river a floater and possibly an slow inter are all you should need for night fishing ,sadly never had a good flood,as I am a better day than night fisher !

Cheers Chaps, sounds like it's still a viable bet! Tal-y-lyn also looks great. 2 15lb sea trout last year?? and the chance of a salmon? sounds fantastic.

Am going to have to drag myself to Wales methinks.

Try a PM to Seeker, I know he fished with the sadly missed Malcolm Edwards ,who caught more big fish on the Rheidol than any one else in recent history !
