Heavy persistent rains and strong south westerly meant ideal conditions for a few hours this morning. The Trout were feeding hard just out of casting range at one point and good sized fish as well. I hooked a Brown trout that took my dry fly and tore line of the spool powerfully a very good fish unfortunately it won the battle! I took a fish shortly afterwards again on the dry and this was a nice solid 12 inch dark brown trout and gave a good scrap in the heavy waves. Then just before I had to leave I cast to a rising fish and the fly was taken straight away by a good sized brown that gave another good scrap and this one was just over 14 inches long.

Great few hours fished from 8.30 am to 11.30 am.

Back again for a few hours this morning, unfortunately day ended up being very bright and sunny with no ripple on the water the trout put their heads down and I could not stay all day. However managed 3 small Browns all on the Dry fly and missed two takes. Not much showing but the Cdc/Elk pattern does tend to bring them up on even the quietest of days.

Buitiful location with a nice treck through the woods to the bays. Just the one small brownie to two rods with no other fish showing.

Lovely morning session ,strong south westerly and some heavy rain showers but the Browns were eager for a dry fly taking the cdc/elk sedge pattern with relish in the choppy waves created by the wind.
Had a few losses and missed a few rises but ended up with 8 nice Brown trout to just over a 1lb or so but most were 3/4 lbish.
Really enjoyable few hours.

Brilliant morning at Beacons Resevoir what a beautiful place. arrived at 8am in torrential rain but the fish were enjoying the fresh influx of water and it wasnt long till I had a lovely Brown of about 1.5lb on my dry fly sedge pattern and a great cartwheeling scrap it gave as well.
Working my way round the shallow bays I managed to pick off 5 lovely Browns in total losing 2 and missing a couple of takes .
All on the dry fly using a single fly my own tied sedge pattern .
Nice average size with 3 over a 1lb .
Will be back soon

Didnt make it in the end had car trouble .

Nothing caught and not a fish seen although conditions were promising.

Blisteringly hot day with fairly strong wind veering between east and south. Mostly fished the top end where the streams come in. Eventually, netted two brown trout, one estimated at about 1.5 lbs and the other 0.66 lbs. Very satisfying given the conditions. Bibio variant (George Barron?) did the business. Access to top end - penultimate layby and walk down to water through the woods.
