Feedback & Reports

Very sunny day with a fair hatch of buzzers. Fished nymphs/buzzers in the morning with no result. Very few fish rising. Returned in evening fishing deeper with goldhead/black lures. Caught 4 trout 8oz - 1lb. Kept two fish which were full of cased caddis - so they were obviously feeding on the bottom which explained the lack of success with the nymphs. Water temp 12C air temp max 15C.

Arrived 6pm, fished until dark using floating line, small traditional patterns, weighted nymphs etc. No fish caught or seen moving. No other anglers seen catching fish either. Beautiful location.

2 x trout 12 and 15 inch, Mallard and Claret and Hatching Olive. A late evening session before the wind dropped at dusk.

My first attempt at fly fishing and did not catch any fish, but did catch the plants behind me. Must get some lessons!

Nil fish caught.

Nil Return.

No fish caught on two rods although two were lost during brief encounters. Cloudy but fairly warm day with a fair breeze. One fish took a daddy as it was stripped back for a re-cast and the other on an elk hair caddis in the gloamin. There were some large fish taking something but alas we could not entice them!

Arrived at Talybont reservoir at 4pm and finished fishing at 8pm, no fish caught or seen to rise. Water temperature very warm with a slight breeze. Buzzer, hopper, damsel and lures used without a bite. Met two other anglers that had no success that afternoon but the surroundings made up for the lack of fish. Will be back when the weather cools down.

A perfect summer's day in a very beautiful spot. Hopeless for fishing.

2 x trout, 12 inches and 15 inches. After a day of quite breath-taking heat - for this country - a rather quiet evening with almost no rises seen, although there was a reasonably good ripple and I fished on till 10 o'clock. At least the midges stayed away and a couple of nice fish came up before dark to hit the Kate Maclaren on the top dropper. A pleasant bank-side chat with a visiting rod on a WUF ticket, who also had one.
