Lovely day on this magical Welsh hill "Lyn". Trout rising all day and very specific about the hatch. We never really found the exact imitation. Small and black yes but it needed to be exact. We found a few but left chastened but happy.

Drizzly day with light wind. Fished for a couple of hours right bank, past the headland, from the boat house. Tried several varieties of wets with several takes and one landed from the edge of Lillies. I love the remoteness of the place. Should be a bit fitter than me, though! Can see an angler fishing the opposite bank on Youtube!

Fished this lake before, excellent sport and the wild life that was around on the day was great. The fish put up a good fight and were very attractive fish. Would recommend everyone to try this lake, it is worth the effort to get there.

Started on the dry, but there was a strong wind and limited surface activity. Moving on the wet flies, I was soon into the first fish. Most successful fly was a Mallard and Claret.

Not even a nibble!

All on dry fly. Lake in superb condition, fish all superb condition between 4 and 10 inches

Gale force winds and torrential rain tried there best to mar a wonderful place. Almost impossible to stand up let alone cast a fly at times due to the winds.
Had a few snatches at a black gnat dry fly but nothing till I managed a lovely, perfectly formed brownie at last knockings. Will return and hope for better weather.
Walk was fine but as 5 cars passed me on the track down and parked by the nature reserve lake it did make me wish I had taken my car down the track as it was fine if you were careful a 4x4 will easily make it all the way to the lake itself.

2 fish caught, 1 at 6 inches and a larger fish at 10inches on a dark-winged deer hair sedge type fly and a sedgehog respectively. Plenty of bibio flies in evidence round the margins. I had quite a bit of interest but my timing was off.
The day started still and damp and gradually became sunny with a strengthening breeze. Both fish caught on the western side of the Llyn, where I also lost one estimated at around one pound. Grrrr.

My first trip to Bugeilyn and the previous return notes are definitely right about the need for a 4x4 to access the water and the need to be careful walking across the boggy ground adjacent to the lake. Started late morning and ended about 4.30pm on a bright day with increasing gusty wind, which definitely tested my limited casting skills and weight 5 rod. I lost a fish early on on a bibio and must have missed about ten sharp tugs from the feisty trout. Eventually landed a fish on a black buzzer. I met a gentleman from the club/syndicate who also fishes the water as I was leaving and he was generous with his advice. It is a stunning location and so I will return, hopefully with a bit more confidence after the advice, in the future.

It was a very hot day (24 degrees) and I fished for about three hours, between 1pm and 4pm. Fish were moving throughout the afternoon and feeding on the surface in the margins, although flies fished there I failed to tempt any. I changed to a weighted (red) nymph which did the trick. I had several plucks at it and two fish that actually connected. The fish are very distinctive in their markings. Worth the trip just to see them!
