Teifi Fishing????
I know it has not been fishing well recently due to a lack of water. Planning a trip 21/22 of August just wanted to check if fishing has improved with the rain that we have had. Regards Darren |

Regards Darren If the Teifi is anything like the Tawe - forget it for now. Maybe when you want to go we shall have had a drop of rain. :-( Last night's rain has had no effect whatsoever. The river (Tawe) is still extremely low. -- Bill Grey http://www.billboy.co.uk |

Planning a trip 21/22 of August just wanted to check if fishing has improved with the rain that we have had. Regards Darren Hi I have fished the Teifi for quite a few years, quite honestly as it's very much a spate river, I personally would never plan a visit that far ahead. The only time to seriously catch fish is when the river has been running bank high, and dropping with a spinner - (or worm) - fly tends not to be productive. I prefer fly, but somehow fishing heavily coloured fast flowing water to me is not enjoyable. Admittedly the sea trout will take - mainly at night on a warm humid night.Regarding native browns - I have only ever caught sizeable fish the feeder streams. This year I am giving the Coquet and Till a try - 3 hours driving time closer!. Regards Mike |

Teifi Fishing????
Thanks for that advice, will see how much water is in the river closer to
the time. Any ideas on what flies are good on the Teifi at this time of year fro the sea trout. An what type of spinners (red and silver Mepps and Flying C's) is what I have been advised.

Regards Mike Hi Again To be honest I refuse to spend anything over a couple of quid on spinners etc. I have caught on plain simple cheap Mepps - same with fly . If you know the main fish lies, I honestly believe (with salmon ) that given the right conditions, anything be it fly or spinner with a "flash" will induce the fish to grab. Though I must admit the same theory does not seem to apply to Sewin. One hot summer day, with the river almost as low as I have ever seen it, I fished with a very small gold head green/black Montana - 2nd cast a fresh run 8 lb was taken. ( That was on the lower stretch before the main pool at Stradmore Gardens) - I rest my case! Regards Mike ! |

writes Hi Again To be honest I refuse to spend anything over a couple of quid on spinners etc. I have caught on plain simple cheap Mepps - same with fly . I don't fish for salmon, but using my pal's kit, I caught my one and only salmon on a # 2 Mepps while trying for trout. (I was fully licensed of course) The Mepp was really a bit big for trout, but as his rod was rated 8 to 30 grammes, the # 2 was the lightest Mepp I could cast. BTW the salmon weighed 9 1/2 lbs -- Bill Grey http://www.billboy.co.uk |
