Morning session in rain and gusty winds. No fish caught at Frongoch on the dam so moved to Rhosrydd. Fished along the eastern bank and caught 3 brown trout the largest being just over 2lb on a black pennel.

Fished a full day catching 3 brown trout on the far (west) side of the lake on wet flies best weighing 1.5lb. Caught 1 brown on Glandwgyn weighing just under 2lb. Caught on the East side of the lake late afternoon. Bright day with little wind - best flies had red tags and silver.

All six brown trout coming to claret dabblers, bibio hogs and daddy hogs on a floating line two fly cast. Weather was periodically rainy and windy. Fish were not showing on the surface but did rise to dry or sub-surface flies being moved through a ripple. Great days fishing.

Access to the water was dreadful, so much that we didn't fish.

Didn’t fish. Went to fish Pond Rhosrydd because we were visiting area in a motorhome and Google Earth indicated there was a decent road to it and suitable parking by it. When we got there we found anglers are prevented from using the decent road and the track open to anglers appeared totally unsuitable for anything larger than a car or small van. Couldn’t risk the access and nowhere to park and walk in so turned around and went back to our campsite. Very disappointing.

Enjoyable day at Rhosrydd. Flat calm when I arrived, but fish rising close in. Caught a beautiful 16" fish before the wind picked up and put the fish down.

The team down to fish Glandwgan had to cancel last minute so just 2 of us fished Rhosrhydd. Typical summer day in Wales, we arrived in heavy rain storm. When that quitened we deliberately fished different styles, me wet fly and Ben dry fly. When the sun broke through occasionally we were seeing rises . I caught 1.5 lbs on mallard and claret point fly midmorning and we both had swirls and splashes. While eating our sandwiches the sun came out and three fish rose. While still chewing Ben covered the nearest fish with a black palmered dry fly and caught a lovely golden trout around two and half pounds. After that the wind changed to NW my and it was noticeably cooler. I had a tug and a swirl but that was only sign of life. We packed in at 1615 having had very pleasant day
