A tough but enjoyable day. The only hatch in evidence was midge and around 5 of the fish took emerging midge patterns. All others were caught on various traditional wets.

Last day of the trout season for me on the Beacons Reservoir, an old favourite stamping ground of mine. Beacons makes a great alternative to Tal-Y-Bont, much easier access for those who do not like driving through the narrow country lanes. Fished from 2.30pm till 6.00pm. An overcast, dark afternoon with a strong but warm southerly wind. Perfect conditions! 7 nice trout came to the net, including a cracking 17 incher, plus 3 x 14 inch and 3 x 11/12 inch fish. Good sport in the shallow areas of the lake on floating line, intermediate polyleader.

Although I knew the weather was against me, I thought I'd try my luck here whilst I was nearby. There was a small hatch of fly and some signs of fish near the surface during the early afternoon, but nothing caught.

Blanked. Had a nice one on for a minute at the top end of the lake, where the stream comes in. It stayed deep and didn't jump. No other takes.

A few on dries others on traditional wets. Biggest was a cracking 14" dark spotted cock fish. Good day.

Very upset that we did not cached any fish. We`ve been there for 8 hrs.

Blustery conditions today. Most fish came to traditional wets with no particular pattern being more popular than the others on the cast.

A late afternoon/ evening session. Ideal conditions brought about an olive hatch & plenty of surface activity.
