Very rainy and windy day. So a few trout attack my flies but nothing more

Superb looking stretch with beautiful surroundings, bank fishing. Quite hard going due to boggy/ tussocks. Did not last long due to being overwhelmed by midges, was not prepared for this at all, but will return suitably equipped! Lots of small trout rising and jumping, potentially very rewarding.

This beat looked very promising. I parked (as instructed) by the bridge at the bottom of the beat (just over the bridge there is room for a couple of cars on the right). However I very soon discovered that my poor old knees could not cope with the rough tussock grass heads that needed to be navigated to get past the first stand of trees. I got about 400 yards before turning back - it was a hot day and I was covered in sweat! This fishing if for a younger, fitter, more agile angler than me! I abandoned the attempt and went off to other fishing I have, through my membership of Bala Anglers, where access is straightforward.
