Quite windy today so a bit challenging!! A few fish showing on Blaenmelindwr and had a few half hearted takes but nothing landed.

Novice angler so don’t blame the fish for the zero catch return on a very unpromising weather day

Fished Rhosgoch for 1 stocked trout of about a 1lb. Nothing much happening, tried Blaenmelindwr, had another stockie 1lb or so and missed a few small fish. Off to llyn Syfydrin in afternoon. In warm humid conditions a huge fall of flying ants got the fish stirred up, but they preferred a skated sedgehog or muddler near the margins, which were full of sedge. Around a dozen wild fish to hand, missed plenty more. Most 10 inches with a couple 12 - 13 inch.

Didn't see or catch anything in a cold north wind so moved to Llyn Syfydrin.

All trout caught on fly and all returned safely.

Very windy and dull with no signs of fish on the surface at Rhosgoch. One fish of around 2lb lost and one caught of the same size. Then fished Syfydin for 8 trout followed by Blaenmelindwr for 3 smallish fish. All fish returned. Saw one Osprey and one Merlin. Mallard and claret did most of the business.

Fished with two other members of Gwent Angling Society (see returrn from AP from Newport) all trying a bit of mountain llyn therapy to help us to cope with the loss of the entire fish population on our two beats on the Afon Llynfi last weekend for the second time in four years. Five kilometres of river now denuded of fish and clear invertebrate damage as well. Polluters need to pay and not the derisory sums they so often get away with. Loved AP's coffee!

Fished for a week on Aber AA llyns. Stayed in a caravan on llyn Frongoch (See Aber AA website for details). This was a family holiday, so fished for a few hours each day. Tried 6 of the llyns. All fished very well - a mixture of rainbows and wild browns on Frongoch (Rainbows to 3.5lb browns to 1lb+) . The other llyns produced mostly wild browns (and a few stocked) to just under 2lb. These lakes are hardly fished, yet they offer some of the best value stillwater trout fishing in Wales (£20 day ticket covers 24 hours fishing, and the River Rhiedol for sewin!) Magnificent scenery too.
