Fly Fishing Welsh Rivers – Early Season Success

It’s been a great start on the Welsh rivers, despite the variable conditions this month.

Local knowledge is everything, so if you are looking for a fly fishing guide, an instructional day in Wales this season or to improve your fly fishing skills then please get in touch.

I started my season on the river Usk in cold and exceptionally low conditions, however I did manage my first 4 fish of the season on dry flies, including a 19 incher.

With the current unsettled spell the main rivers have been blown out since mid-March, however I have found some excellent nymph fishing on the smaller streams and tributaries that would otherwise be hopeless in low water conditions. Some of these can produce unexpected surprises as well as fantastic numbers of smaller fish!

A few images from my early season fly fishing in Wales March 2023:

Thought I’d post a few brown trout images from my fishing adventures in Wales this year. The fishing was excellent on the rivers and llyns, especially early and late in the season.

Welsh rivers and lakes have really abundant stocks of wild fish – long may it continue! Looking forward to next spring already….
