6 grayling and a lot of out of season brown trout.

River too high and coloured so David at the Foundation was very helpful and booked me onto the Craig Llyn beat higher up.

Managed to squeeze in a couple of hours over lunch. River
1 foot 3" falling slowly, peaty. Overcast, showers.

Ladies,
First apologies for not submitting sooner, I had not forgotten. Thank you for the help in getting me the bookings. I came down on speck having spoken to D and A B a short time before to find they had no bookings. Well planed fishing trips for me do not work and I find it much more rewarding just to turn up and take what is available. It worked well for today the 21 Aug 2012 and hopefully for the 22 and 23 Aug 2012.
Today I had the pleasure of a meeting with Dr Stephen happily murdering Himalayan Balsam with a magic little tool.

Upper am - A total of 5 Browns all taken on a variation of the PT Nymph with Russian Black Pheasant Center Tail, Bodies, fished on the bottom lots of weight. Average size 5" to 8" for the first four and 10" for the fifth, around a pound handsome little chap.

Lower pm - Changeover time. Unlike Gromain, Llanstephan is a predictable stretch of river and as the afternoon progressed 9 Browns were taken again on the PT Variation fished hard and deep all in the 8" to 10" bracket all below a pound around 5.45pm, bigger Browns began to rise to a big hatch of what I know as Willow Fly Double Winged Tan Brown body colours, so on went a Willow Fly Dry. I connected with a brown approx 4 to 5lbs monster which gave me a good run around which I ended with a LDPR, Long Distance Premature Release. Give a trout with nous a little slack line and bless him, he will spit the hook for you. I fish light, 3lb tippet size 14 and 16 hooks all barbless so do not invite the obvious.
A great day with lots of memories of good sport and brave trout.
All the best and once again Thank you for your help.

23lbs colouring fish from Dolmeudwy on a #10 Boyo. Another fish contacted in Orchard and several others seen including a big Sea Trout.

Lure fishing for salmon. 4 x brown trout caught, nice condition, size between half and one pound, all returned. Conditions good, water level low due to no rain fall that week.

Started at 5pm. Still hot and with a blazing sun. Fished the fast water above Dolmeudwy while waiting for some shadow to stretch across the pool. A cunning plan almost came to fruition when a grilse laid hold in a channel between two boulders, before falling off at my feet. No action in the main pool, Orchard or Orchard stream.
