Lovely day up at Talybont. Banks very flooded and boggy across the top end, hard work to cross over. Worth it to catch a beautiful wild brown to a brown hackled wet fly.

After an uneventful visit four weeks earlier this was no better. The wind was from the North and picked up quite well early on but apart from one fish fluked (and soon lost) when winding in I could touch nothing. There was virtually no fly on the wing or on the water to distract trout from their caddis hunting, and neither a deer-hair floater nor sombre hackled wets could prompt the desired response. The surface water is quite warm now but I have known good sport at Talybont in similar summer conditions, and after plenty of wind and rain to refresh the lake the lack of patrolling trout in the surface layers and mid-water is rather puzzling.

Lost one nice fish, elements were against,retired early

No fish at all. Big fat 0. Waist of time and money.

fly fishing, no fish but a beautiful place

A delightful stillwater.
Too busy on a sunny Sunday to fish close to the car park nearest the dam but quiet and wild close to the feed rivers.
Only tiddlers on a black gnat but need more than one day to explore this water and the opposite bank looks more remote and interesting.

Another hot, sunny day in Talybont-on-usk which was great for everyone except those who want to catch a fish. No activity and nothing caught. Still a lovely place to be. Stayed the night at the YHA.

Absolutely no activity. Stayed until the late afternoon to hope to see some fish rising, but had absolutely no luck. Fish were rising but very infrequently. Would have been a miracle for me to have caught anything.

oh do we need this weather to switch out of the NE!!! Give us some westerlys !!
